I stayed for only one night and enjoyed it thoroughly as I was in Durban for a celebration event and was in a very good mood. I booked the room a few days earlier and got an excellent rate. I was surprised at the rate of the buffet breakfast but never saw if it could have been worth the price.

I loved the bathroom but was disappointed with the hot water from the tap that was not very hot(well not hot enough for my wife). It's close proxsimity to the ICC (conference venue) is ideal. But beware not to try and make a booking at the hotel when a major event takes place at the conference venue.

1/1 found this review helpful

Was on a business trip. Location of hotel is a bit bad as it is far from the beach area and restaurants. Check in took some time as only one guy was available and our group checked in late at night. Room not good - small and average. Conference facilities not bad. A bit over charged. The most expensive hotel when it comes to faxes, internet usuage, photo copies etc. Staff friendly and helpfull. Lovely shops at the hotel. Food / Restaurant is great.

1/2 found this review helpful

This is an excellent hotel and it is quite obvious that the management go to great lenghts to see that the staff watch to see that their guests experience is looked after. I was greeted warmly everytime a staff member passed by. The buffet in the restaurant is excellent in the evening time. The rooms are exactly what you would expect of a major 5 star, faultless. The business centre has more than adequate facilties with several internet machines always available. It is not the hotels fault but unfortunately you cannot venture beyond the entrance when darkness falls and it seems to be geared to cater for the conference centre next door in an imagined ring of steel.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Staff being drummed with Customer Service Message (Unusual for South Africa)
    • Disliked — Not being able to venture out beyond entrance when darkness falls
    • Tips/Secrets: — Excellent Hotel

“Good Hotel, but rooms need improvement”

Hilton Durban

Oct 14, 2006
1/2 found this review helpful

I've stay there 2 nights. The rooms of club level needs some refurbishment. I found them too small. The amenities of club level, instead, are more than excellent !

Their gym is too small for an Hilton hotel.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Amenities of club level lounge
    • Disliked — Gym, small one for being an Hilton
    • Tips/Secrets: — Ask a room in the executive floor for club lounge amenities.

“Service-minded Conference Hotel”

Hilton Durban

Aug 7, 2006
2/2 found this review helpful

Like many South African hotels, there is helpful staff at every turn. The rooms were clean, and breakfast generous. Conference facilities were impressive. The hotel, however, lacks character and is not in easy walking distance of good restaurants. The crime situation makes going out at night, particularly to the beachfront, problematic. Prices are reasonable by world standards but on the high side for southern Africa. Pool and fitness room were tiny for a "resort" destination.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Plentiful, helpful staff
    • Disliked — Location in characterless part of town
