The hotel is right on the beach with excellent access to it and a great view. The beach is very busy and can be noisy, so maybe not the best place if you’re after a quiet get away. But, if you want a hopping place, it’s that.

So there were a few of us staying at the hotel. I had read the reviews about staff friendliness; but I suspected that they might be slightly untrue, given that the reviews were always so good. Oh my god - the staff are amazing. I have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world - and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff is just as fantastic. Yes - sure - there are more presentable parts of the beach further north up the coast - that is probably true - however, this area is just fine. Much more exciting. Much more in touch with the locals. And the hotel could not get closer to the beach. In fact - I think it is the closest hotel to the beach, in the whole of Durban. And all the rooms have sea views. And because the hotel literally looks onto the promenade - if you love watching people, you will not get bored at looking out of your window for hours on end watching the activity below. On top of it all - great restaurant and room service in house. Plus some more places to eat just minutes away. And having a full kitchen in the room is also a massive bonus. We can't wait to go back in a few months time. ##### Errol Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### livewired public May 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing place It was a great experience at The Palace Hotel.

TV was intermittent. ##### Alpheus Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Marina Jan 18, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The images online are deceiving. This property is deteriorating. Very very old and outdated. Not worth it considering that one can stay at a better hotel in a different area at about the same price! ##### Marina Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jan 16, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Not worth the price Hygiene standards were pathetic. The rooms had a damp smell. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fatima Aug 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great ##### Fatima Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Aug 13, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not too thrilled The room and staff itself were great however, as daily cleaning service was not provided due to covid, we had to request for cleaning service at the start of our stay. In total I must have asked about 7 times for room cleaning, and when I called reception to find out why my room was not made up, they informed me that my room was not on the list despite me asking for cleaning over 5 times. Apart from that, when I called reception, 3 different people gave me 3 different times for when room cleaning commences. Wi-Fi did not work in my room for the duration of my stay. As the booking website classified The Palace as self-catering, I brought along my own food, however my room did not have a microwave and I had to go down to the hotel kitchen each time to warm my food-before 7pm as the kitchen closed at that time. I was not happy ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller May 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not the best stay There wasnt enough parking and the door to the apartment wasnt easy to lock.i also had issue with my breakfast as my booking was done with breakfast but i had to go to the reception twice for them to give me access to breakfast as it was not reflecting on the hotels system. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Unknown delight This location is one of the unknown gems on the Durban coastline. Boasting a 4 star rating they live up to the hype. The staff are extremely friendly, the units are clean and have an amazing view. Their in house restaurant are efficient and an excuse to stay in. Definitely recommended ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Mar 8, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good experience and will visit again I think the bathroom could do with improvement by having a new toilet seat fitted and the towel rail could be better placed as it is in the way whilst showering. Maybe a smart TV with Netflix would be a nice improvement to the room as well. However all in all it was a good experience because the staff are so friendly and welcoming and I’ll definitely stay at the Palace again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jowairiyya Feb 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing stay :) it was a truly amazing stay, everyone was so kind from the beginning till the end of the stay. we ended up going fishing and the restaurant allowed us to keep our fish in the freezer till it was time for us to leave. when we asked for the room to be cleaned / towels to be changed everything was done on spot. the thing that made us the most comfortable is the fact that we felt safe during the whole stay , with this whole covid-19 story , there was senatiser available throughout the hotel. thank yous so much for making us feel at home. we miss it already. ##### Jowairiyya Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Asad Sep 30, 2020 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort The place was clean and decent, however we had to make numerous calls to reception to sort out a whole lot of issues which included cleaning of the rooms that was decided on check in, fixing of the air conditioner, toilet leaks, noisy neighbors etc. Overall it was a disappointing experience. ##### Asad Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dawn Sep 29, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Renovations Cleanliness, zero. No cleaning happened during my week stay due to Covid apparently. That place is more of a backpackers than anything. Renovations.

The windows in our room were filthy which kind of takes away from the ocean view. We saw cockroaches in the hotel but not in our room luckily. The shower was terrible, the shower head either sprayed too far and soaked the bathroom or if you tilted it it would fall on your head. The grip mat in the bath was also dirty and there was a clothes line type thing in the shower that was moody/mildewy. The bathroom sink was also clogged and drained very slowly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Feb 15, 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff were great and very helpful and the location was good however the hotel needs updating and has cleanliness issues.

The hotel gets a few things right but the rooms are needing a refresh. Feels old and grubby. Staff is lovely and attentive. Parking onsite is super inexpensive. Food at hotel restaurant is decent as well. ##### Rono Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff was super friendly the entire time, early check in possible without extra charges, room maybe a bit smallish but spectacular view, nice restaurant/spa in the building, walkable to the beach and malls ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### ALICIA E Sep 19, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Descanso cerca de la playa Muy buena experiencia ##### ALICIA E Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Riverfront Hotel New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels-The-Riverfront-Hotel-New-Orleans.h42093.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Plus Bridgewater Hotel & Convention Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lunenburg-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Bridgewater-Hotel-Convention-Centre.h3812334.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Orlando Celebration](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-The-Grand-Orlando-Resort-At-Celebration.h256.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Caribe - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Riu-Caribe-All-Inclusive.h522221.Hotel-Information) > > [OYORooms Hotels in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-OYO-Rooms.0-0-d6134835--bOYORooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Northland Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Northland-Motel.h9858603.Hotel-Information) > > [Melia Caribe Beach Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Melia-Caribe-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h24430693.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jersey City](https://www.expedia.ca/Jersey-City-Hotels.d6023404.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Colosseo Gardens - My Extra Home](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Colosseo-Gardens-My-Extra-Home.h6184234.Hotel-Information) > > [ Morton Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-THE-MORTON-HOTEL.h53791563.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Bandar Seri Begawan (BWN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bwn/toronto-to-bandar-seri-begawan) > > [Flights from Sudbury (YSB) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysb/bna/sudbury-to-nashville) > > [Flights from Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/31/flights-from-canada) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to New Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Grande Prairie (YQU) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqu/mnl/grande-prairie-to-manila) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/lhr/winnipeg-to-london) > > [Flights from Kempton Park (JNB) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/jnb/yyc/johannesburg-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Santiago (SCL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/scl/victoria-to-santiago) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Lihue (LIH)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/lih/calgary-to-lihue) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Portland (PDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/pdx/edmonton-to-portland) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/mnl/halifax-to-manila) > > [Flights from Comox (YQQ) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqq/las/comox-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Phoenix (PHX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/phx/prince-george-to-phoenix) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Melbourne (MLB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/mlb/montreal-to-melbourne) ### Cars ### Packages > [The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Wizarding-World-Of-Harry-PotterTM-Florida-Center.d6277909.Vacation-Attraction) ### Vacation Rentals
