The locality of this hotel is really great as you are literally seconds away from the mall and the breakfast offering I must admit was very impressive and not-too-shabby. I really would recommend it to the travelling businessman who has limited time, and its a closer to the airport than downtown Durban. More

Good, modern, clean, comfortable,Good location – easy access to highway. Right in shopping centre so surrounded by good restaurants, shops etc. Probably more suited to business travelers, but also good for leisure travel. More

I've to South Africa several times in the last 2 years. And since my trip is for 2 weeks each time, I always stay at City Lodge-Umhlanga, over the weekend. I stayed there during my Aug/Sept11 trip also, I find it an excellent place. Friendly staff & good, clean rooms. Also, since it is next to the Gateway Shopping Mall,... More

I stayed at the City Lodge Umhlanga for two nights early July 2011. I was on a business trip and I had never visited South Africa.

We were booked into the hotel by the bride whose wedding we were filming. Very conveniently situated adjacent to the large Gateway Shopping Mall. First impressions were all good with nice rooms, everything spotlessly clean. We did not use the restaurant facilities so cannot comment. Everything was fine until we returned to our room for the first night. Directly next... More

The hotel is directly across the road from Gateway Shopping Centre in Umhlanga. If you are looking for a hotel with a seaview or on the beach, this one isnt for you. But if you are looking for a good hotel, with fair size rooms and friendly staff, this is a good option. The only downside is that breakfast is... More

This hotel was also chosen as part of the British & Irish Lions Tour of 2009. We chose this particular hotel as we had heard that down town Durban would not be that great to stay. The hotel was fine, clean and well maintained. Rooms, whilst not large were OK, nicely furnished and well appointed. Breakfast was great, and although... More

First let me commend you on the great staff and hotel that you have in Durban town. The City Lodge there is my personal choice of hotels when I travel to KZN. The staff is friendly accommodating and understanding to your personal needs. The location of the hotel is also very appropriate. On 12 June 2009 I checked into City... More
