I have now stayed in this hotel twice due to the pure brilliance of it's location and being so close to the mall you do not have to drive anywhere. The rooms are nice and spacious and I like the sliding doors and balcony. It has everything you require whilst on a business trip and is perfect for the price.

Nice , clean and comfortable stay for a budget trip... Its located right next to the Gateway Mall. It is one of the biggest mall of Durban and a happening place. there are lot of eateries outlets to satisfy all taste-buds. The Durban North area is quite safe and you hang around on your own.

Our stay at Gateway Hotel started off a bit bumpy due to having to change rooms twice. The first because the toilet continuously ran and the second the air conditioner did not work. The staff was very prompt and extremely helpful in moving us to our rooms and the third room was perfect. I realize that things break and stop... More

The hotel is situated at the back of the wavehouse and you can get to Gateway mall by walking down a corrider and you are virtually in the parking lot. Very convenient. Did not feel like you were staying in a shopping centre which is what I feared may happen. The breakfast buffet had a great variety and all the... More

Definitely a corporate hangout with a great location to the gateway mall and the greater durban area. Beautiful hotel with a well layed -out and comfortable rooms.. I found the food excellent, but the room service was a tad slow. I was a bit irritated with the fact that they did not honour my wake-up call, and the fact that... More

With direct access into the Gateway Shopping center, the world is your oyster. Right by the wave house, climbing wall and skate park for the kids. Movie house, supper theater and heaps of other entertainment a few... More

Nice rooms, good service...no water bottles in the room was not good. location is good for shopping in the mall. Everything in the room was very sharp and modern, so if you are into that....perfect for you. Breakfast was good and all the basics were there. Walls are very thin. Pool was small but being it was on the rooftop... More

What I didn't like was the ajoining rooms. I'm not sure if all the rooms had one, but I and my two colleagues all had one. This basically meant I could here everyting from the room next door, even hearing them visiting the bathroom! On that note, neither did I like the fact that the bath, toilet & shower are... More
