Nothing everything was good.
The staff was friendly,receptionists and waitress ,room are clean
They don't have shower cape also back up system,yesterday power was off,for that kettle was on ,end up not drink tea because electricity
I wanted my omelette to have veggies, and they did not have stock during my entire stay there. The basics like green peppers, etc, they had nothing.
I was supposed to check in at 2pm and I arrived at 13:46pm and was only allowed to check in at 15:21. My room was not ready despite the fact that their checkout time is 11:00am. I needed to check in and rest after a long drive from GP
I liked the location of the hotel. It has a private beach, I loved that a lot. The breakfast is included at no extra cost. We had our private bathroom. The staff is amazing, they are always available and ready to make your stay beautiful. There is a balcony with a sea view accessible to anyone in the hotel.
The ordor of the floor mat. I wish we got a room with a ceramic tile floor. The walk way to the beach needs to be better. There was no microwave in the room. I didn't like the position of the mirror.
Location was good. Receptionist friendly. Room was clean
No bread for 1st morning breakfast. No tea available. In the room the cupboard handles were broken and there's no space in the bathroom to keep toiletries. No cupboard in the bathroom

The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very clean 👌🏽 beds comfy. Its also value for money!! I've been here a number of times, and that should tell you a lot. I just love the place and would definitely visit again.
Breakfast was great and perfect location
The furniture seems bit old but clean and shiny though
The property was clean,Very Friendly Staff And they Serve a very Good Breakfast
Proximity to the beach. The breakfast was also ok.
The decor seemed a bit dated especially in the passages and in the room.
Staff, location, pricing. Nice to have breakfast included in an already affordable booking deal.
No electronic key for door has to use manual key to open.
The room is elegant and was beyond our expectations. The room lead to a huge balcony and unobstructed sea view.
The place was so neat and clean, staff explained everything well. It is so comfortable and the esthetic is over the roof. Got small pool plus private beach.

It's clean friendly staff good location beachview room cleaned daily nice breakfast
Noise from other guests and street
The property was very clean, the bed very comfortable, room was big enough. It’s a very nice place has sea view. The staff from those who manage our rooms, chefs, waitresses, Nodumiso and also who helps with our bags they are 100%
It’s a nice place if one came with a car hence it’s a distance to the beaches, especially if you wanna explore the ushaka and south beach. I’d advise that other girl receptionist to take notes from Nodumiso cause she’s very rude you’d even not be comfortable to request things from her. Also if they could atleast consider lift cause wow the steps if you like me and having a knee problem you’ll be suffering for your whole stay.
Friendliness of staff, especially Nomhle. She was a great help. The breakfast was of quality it really value for money.
The facility is without microwave.
Very quite only listen to waves❤️❤️

A suggestion to have bedside lamps No issues except security needs to be strengthened for drunken, rowdy guests
The venue was better than what i expected
They have daily housekeeping which is great. The bathrooms and shower was very clean. The staff is amazing, front desk, kitchen and housekeeping staff, are all very friendly and helpful people.
Not much to dislike but I think the carpet in the room is the only thing that could improve. It gives off a certain odour.
Terrible breakfast
I enjoyed every moment in the hotel , The friendly receptionist with the same smile from Friday to the last day, the entire staff was friendly. I don’t regret by choosing this hotel. They offer enough breakfast 👏🏻
Nothing
Clean, good food, good music at the restaurant
No carpet in the room, broken bathroom door and noisy kitchen staff next to room 3
We had a wonderful stay at Marilyn Boutique Hotel. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and I can’t stress enough how amazing the staff were - such sweethearts. They were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help, which made our stay even more special. The peaceful neighborhood made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. One of the highlights of our stay was the beautiful beachfront setting. The beaches are just a short distance from the hotel, making it easy to explore the area. My personal favorite was Garvies Beach - it’s peaceful and beautiful. Overall, Marilyn Boutique Hotel is the perfect destination for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway. I’ll definitely be coming back - this is my new home away from home.
Rooms are clean and comfortable beds

Breakfast buffet was blunt, limit menu on dinner (frozen food). Room sink were full of Ants and Capets stains, Baby Cot was very dirty and dusty.
the staff especially the receptionist Nomdumiso she was great
they can add more variety on breakfast for long stays but it was delicious with no complaints about the food
The breakfast menu not changing

Everything about that place was very exceptional
Breakfast was great and the view also. The staff was very friendly.
The hotel staff provided exceptional service and were very accommodating. We genuinely appreciated their warm hospitality and had a fantastic experience during our stay. The staff made us feel like we were the only guests that mattered, which added to the specialness of our time there. We would gladly return whenever we find ourselves in the area. Nomhle Zulu at the reception stood out for her warm welcome, she assisted us throughout our visit and is truly a lovely, calm, and friendly person. The breakfast was delicious, and the sea view from the balcony was breathtaking. Moreover, the private beach was absolutely perfect

I was not able to get the champagne glasses when I was asking for them but the lady at the reception borrowed me her one glass.
The breakfast was delicious. The staff members were amazing.

Bed Cleanliness Quietness Breakfast
I just liked everything about the place from the staff, breakfast, rooms to location. I will always stay there while in Durban.
Nothing at all
Clean very high
The check-in and check-out, and the parking went well.
The room we stayed in (number 1) which was on the ground floor, has a nauseating damp smell. The bathroom was the worst that that I have experienced. It was full of mould. For the price paid, all we wanted was a clean room for a one-night stay and did not receive that. In general that hotel needs a revamp; the carpets leading to the rooms need to be replaced as they are terribly stained. The patio door leading to the outdoor eating area, is very dirty; yet a little ammonia will restore it to almost new. The outdoor eating area tables also have mould growing. a good cleaning regime needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

The hotel was just what we needed for the weekend. The staff were friendly and very accommodating, which I appreciated. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Breakfast was great - some mornings buffet-style and some mornings set menu. The rooms were really quiet, even though the hotel was fully booked, and we slept really well. We were glad to have a small fridge in the room.
The hotel is a little out of the way if you want to be close to Durban attractions and don't have transport. We didn't mind, as we had a car and could be in the city within 15 or 20 minutes.
Location, views. Breakfast. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Went above and beyond.
Having to climb the stairs.

The staff is very stingy when it comes to food. And when it’s time to check out they kick you immediately. The breakfast is not worth the money.
Location very peaceful, staff very welcoming

The property was beautiful, clean and well-maintained. The rooms were comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay.
Nothing significant. My stay was enjoyable and met my expectations.
Nothing
Everything, from the food, to the attendance to the room. This was very poor and I stayed 3 nights, the hotel is dirty and this is an understatement, the carpet in the room I slept in had a sting, there was dog poop on the balcony
The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is close to a few shops. Their breakfast was good.
The hotel has no elevator. It is either a steep hike or a drive to the beach.
Everything was amazing.

Location was great. Staff were very friendly. Aircon worked 100%. Breakfast was good.
The room i was in was not the best. Carpet floors didn't look too clean, hotel should tile that room for a better look. Also some old stuff in the room, it would look and feel much better if its modernized. Also would be nice if they atleast supply some soap. Bed wasn't comfortable at all, kept making noises throughout the night
The room were clean and specious
Absolutely lovely
The open space inside the room,like that you're using a projector to watch a movie outside and it a safe neighborhood.
