“Great boutique hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2007

I stayed at La Bordello for 8 days and it truly made the trip. I was there for a conference and was so pleased I didn't stay in a beach resort. The staff here were outstanding. Great breakfast and the adjoining restaurant offered great food, atmosphere, and convenience. The area is trendy and much safer than other parts of town where my colleagues shared stories of bad experiences. Some rooms are small, but the housekeepers and staff made you feel right at home. very relaxing and the price can't be beat.

“Great boutique hotel in a former bordello”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2007

Great small & very stylish boutique hotel in one of the towns former bordellos - beautifully decorated in Moorish style with earth tone colours, hanging lanterns & arches - wonderful bathrooms [ours had a double shower and bath] and with very comfortable beds + the best breakfast in South Africa served by great breakfast ladies.
Pricing is more than reasonable - book on their website.
Owned by the same people as the excellent Bean Bag Bohemia restaurant & bar next door, so a great dinner is a very short walk away.
Located in one of Durban's safe suburbs [ie you can walk on busy streets in daylight ] which is a definite plus because this town really does have security problems
