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.

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.

Reviewed Jun 24, 2026The 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.

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.
