The other reviews have pretty much said it: this is a stylish boutique (this word means something for once; its a small hotel and as spread over four townhouses you feel a proper sense of intimacy about the place, and furnishings smart and neutral without being minimalist in any way) hotel. It has friendly and helpful staff and is in a good location. I was a bit worried about the noise as next to two large roads, but this wasn't a problem even with the air con turned off - some rooms may be noisier than others though so if you're a light sleeper best to request a quiet room just in case. Breakfasts are good too. Might be a little on the pricey side for what it is as one reviewer recently wrote, but having travelled around KZN for a couple of weeks I don't think it's too much out. All in all, warmly recommended.

I spent one night in this hotel and some things are not coherent with level of price paid. I booked from booking a night at a price of about 140 euros for double room included breakfast. It seems not that much, but in durban a one day pass for bus is 1 euro, and dinner in nearby florida road is 20 euros for 2 persons. The value is not that good! The room is excellent. Nothing to say about it, except for one reason. Quarters is a group of 2 storeys colonial houses, so every room edges a road. Mine is located at a crossroad of two highly traffic road. Horrible sound insulation. I asked for a changed and i was promptly offered for a room on a side road which was much better.
I had another problem with breakfast. Once i was seated the waiter gave me a menu with prices on it. I didn't remember if breakfast was included in my tariff, so the waiter go and asked for it, saying that it was Not included. After the breakfast i checked out and the receptionist said nothing more was given. Luckily. A bit more of information would be helpful.

The Staff at Quarters were very friendly and always helpful.
The layout of the hotel is a little strange, with 4 houses that have been converted into hotel rooms. At first the whole thing seems a little disjointed, but after a day here, it kind of makes sense, and has a homely feel to it.

All the meals I had at the Brassiere were delicious and quick to come to the table.
There's also plenty of good restaurants a short walk away in Florida Rd if you want some more variety.
I highly recommend Butcher Boys steak house, great value, and great steak.

If there were a fridge in the room, it'd be a perfect score all round.

Just finished my third Comrades Marathon and with it, my third stay at the fabulous Quarters Hotel. Terrific, friendly property. Shannon and the rest of the staff are just so incredibly helpful with all aspects of your visit. For example, they staffed up at 4am to ensure the Comrades Marathon runners staying with them had a proper breakfast before heading out.
The location, on Florida Road, is far superior to a downtown or beach location. Take a five minute taxi ride to those areas during the day for a visit, but stay at the Quarters. Many restaurants and bars within a 5 min walk of hotel, all very safe. (private security seems to be on every street corner) In three years down there, have never felt unsafe on Florida Road, while downtown and Hilton area can be a bit dodgy at night. (Although I must say Durban has improved the beach experience quite a bit over the past couple of years)
