I have been using the Palms geusthouse for years when I am on business in DBN. I have stayed in all the rooms over the years but my favourite has to be the Durban View room which is tastefully decorated and very comfortable (I have stayed in this room for a 3 month stretch) It has a beautiful view of...

Although spacious and clean, my particular room had a clammy feel, perhaps because about half of it was below ground level. The slats in the louver window did not prevent the noise of traffic from a nearby main road, so It was quite difficult to sleep.

Large, well appointed rooms with attention to... More

Thank you for the excelent service that I received during my stay in Durban. I will recommend The Palms to anyone visiting Durban, if you want to spoil yourself book the Durban View room the view is breathtaking.

The location is excellent as it makes good base for all of Durban's activities and the parking is secure and access safe. A... More

Well what an amazing place, I never expected such a BEAUTIFUL room and garden for the cost that I am paying! Modern,... More

This guest house is an absolute gem. Wether you're on holiday or business it is ideally located, about 10 mins to either beach or city centre. Colleen and Suzanne were wonderful hosts and very helpful. We arrived late afternoon after travelling all day and Colleen looked at me and said "would you like a beer", What a gal! The rooms... More
