Overall we are happy about our stay. There were problems but they were handled well between the hotel and the agency.. Food was cooked well, we will appreciate more variety next visit.
More variety with food will be appreciated. Supplies in the rooms. ..,towels were two bath towels and two floor towels for a family room through out our stay. We were 4guests. Were supposed to have 8 towels two for each person, night and morning. Bath gel was also one per room per night. We ended up using hand soap for bathing.. Except for these things our stay was good. Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make our stay comfortable
The rooms and the breakfast was amazing
I booked 2 rooms for 4 ,people. , only to find that breakfast was not included, we booked for rooms only. , so we were compled to pay cash for the breakfast
The hospitality is amazing. I was always greeted with a smile, welcomed like a valued friend.
Everything was just perfect. No dislikes.
Cleanliness and true to Room values. Staff is always friendly and always available to assist, especially Shandrea honouring my mom’s birthday request ❤️ Buffet always top notch, also thanks to Ndumiso and the other coloured guy in the restaurant big ups! visit again soon

I loved the friendly staff, the location of the hotel itself, the gym and the rooftop pool. Upon check in Sphelele the guy at the reception checked us in and told us that we were upgraded from a standard room to an executive one. The excitement was uncontrollable. Tailen then portered us to our room. The room attendant did a great job with our room for the 2 days we were there. It is an old building with a few rusty places but overall, they have great facilities and wonderful staff.
The fact that the was no toilet brush
The place is beautiful, the friendliness of the staff makes everything easy. The restaurant is absolutely the best. Everything was exceptional. When we complained about the room we was allocated to another room with no hassle, the front desk team was quick to respond on our problem.
The pillows needs some intervention. They also need to check on furniture once in a while, the first room we got the chair was making squeaky noise when sitting, the bad was making same noise, sagging when sitting on it.
Good
Everything you need for a functional stay.
It could do with some modernization
The staff were welcoming and friendly. The restaurant and food quality was superb. The gym was good.
The rooms are dated. Surrounding prime beachfront vicinity is dilapidated by the municipality which is so sad.
L'emplacement et la taille de la chambre
Pas de prise près du lit
The breakfast was excellent with a very wide choice and a friendly approachable restaurant staff; very clean room. The bed was comfotable though the pillows not suitable for the Adults. The location is in the promixity of town, walking distance to the main supermarkets and restaurants. The hotel does provide lunch and dinner, so if one needs to explore outside restaurants, just take a walk outside the hotel. Wow, an afternoon capuccino and carrot cake was lekker. There is People Mover bus station at very affordable fee around the Hotel for exploring the playground city of Durban. Further Intercape bus office also within reach for those who use public transport for travel to Durban.
The room looked more a single than a double one. The pillows are just too soft for adults; they are suitable for the children. I would advise that a cleaning brush be put in the bathroom for hygienic purpose, not to rely only on house keeping service. I was on the top floor....room ...5, there was a disturbing rattling sound from a next door whenever a door is opened, it makes a disturbing noise. Please look into that; it caused my stay and sleep to be unpleasant.

Staff was friendly enough, except the parking staff
The place is covered in cockroaches. My kids were so scared we had to leave early, no refund was offered, nothing, no follow up call. We had to drive through the night because the kids were too scared to sleep as a cockroach crawled over my child when she fell asleep.

We loved the location as we wanted to be on the beachfront. Rooms very comfortable. Hearty breakfast. Secure parking. Friendly staff.
Building needs some maintenance. Bathroom a bit outdated.
It is an historic building with loads of history. Love the classic interior design. Breakfast was nice, staff friendly.
The room air conditioner was very noisy. Being in Durban where an air con is necessary having the air con on while sleeping wasn’t great. Simple thing to fix though! So disappointed it has not been fixed.

With the view on the sea comes the noise from the stretch… although there is nothing that the hotel can do about it
Well looked after property, conveniently located and ease to reach all places
Nothin really; all had been good for me.

The carpet was dirty, and the bathroom outdated and unclean. You could see marks of uncleanliness on the carpets and in the bathroom. When the neighbours flash the lights or use the bathroom, the noise that comes through is unbearable.

There was no bottled water for drinking kept in the room. There was only one bottle which was in the bathroom, I drank half of the water and it was not even replaced the following day.
The breakfast and the room was spacious
They can clean the rooms better for a 4 star hote,l the grout in the shower had mould and it wasn't cleaned well.
The friendly atmosphere, staff and the hospitality was top notch
Unfortunately the roof top pool was my only let down , please make it a heated pool the water was ice cold making it uncomfortable to take a nice dip,coz I only took pictures with my feet dip in ice water 🤣….

Not enough undercover parking
Very friendly and attentive staff. Breakfast was good, as was the restaurant and bar
The rooms are in need of maintenance. While comfortable, the shower kept flooding the bathroom, the seals on the windows were badly coroded and flaking off. There were a few issues where staff cleaned the room, but didn't replace the towels etc.
Location was convenient. Staff at the lobby,excellent services! Kind and helpful. 5 star services.
The cleaning lady threw my clothes on the floor that was on the bed when she made the bed , she could have just put it aside or on the chair. The pillows are not comfortable, to small. Gym facilities has no equipment. Air conditioners are to loud.
It is so clean
I loved everything about the Edward
The location , facilities and staff made it memorable. We will be visiting again. The prompt feedback from the hotel also made it easy to address any queries I had prior to check in and during our stay.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude on the staff. They are very welcoming and friendly. Honesty , my sister left the cellphone on the couch and we came back looking for it . We found it by the reception . Thanks to the staff.
The Mkhwanazi family had a wonderful stay at The Edward Hotel, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The accommodation was exceptionally clean, spacious, and beautifully furnished. The elegant and classy décor created a welcoming atmosphere, while the comfortable beds ensured a restful and relaxing stay. The breakfast was a definite highlight, offering an impressive variety of delicious options to suit different tastes. The quality of the food, presentation, and overall dining experience were outstanding. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the kitchen staff, especially Nzuzo and Nhlakanipho, who were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and always willing to assist with a smile. Their warm hospitality and excellent service made our mornings even more enjoyable. Overall, The Edward Hotel provided an exceptional experience with its stylish accommodation, comfortable amenities, delicious breakfast, and outstanding staff. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for quality accommodation and excellent service in Durban, and we look forward to returning in the future.

Breakfast especially the veggies
Beds : from double bed to queens pls
The breakfast was great. We had a warm welcome from staff. The place is very neat and beautiful. Like the bedding was clean. Liked the fact that the hotel is a walk away from popular restaurants and the beach. I enjoyed the sea view.
I didn’t like combined bath tub and shower. The curtains are a bit torn and old.
Beach front waking up seeing wave infront of me
The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. However, I was not happy with the breakfast menu. The standard menu was the same for the four days I was there. They did not have a lot of options like mushrooms, hash browns, and cold ham. The cheese they had was not the best. They only had orange and apple juice, which I do not think was 100% juice. I guess it is not what you'd expect from a 4-star hotel. The thing that upset me the most was the white lady who looked like a supervisor, by the juice stall in front of the swinging double doors, shoving and shouting at an employee, telling him to hurry up. She was wearing a navy skirt and a blue and white shirt. That was the worst experience I have ever had. It was very rude of her to behave like that in front of the customers. For that reason, we will never book that hotel again and will make sure to discourage family and friends from staying there.
Witnessing a supervisor at the juice stall shouting at and shoving an employee was a shocking and unacceptable experience. Due to this hostile work environment and complete lack of professional decency, we will never return to this hotel and will ensure our family and friends avoid it entirely.

Noise factor on outside street
Best location
In my room there was a loud noise that kept banging as if something heavy was falling, reported the next morning On the 2nd night, I woke up middle of the night with another type of noise , this time it kept banging in the wall, suspecting it was from the room next to the head of the bed. Very disturbing on both nights The was a cockroach climbing up the door inside our room
The fact it was clean
Well they wasn't Hot water in the morning
Warm welcome and accommodating arrangements made with our check-in more than 2 hours earlier, with waiting at the pool area or the patio directed. Our room was clean, cosy, practical and easy to navigate. The iron with ironing board are a welcome convenience. The entire atmosphere is classy and regal, leaving one to feel under dressed when not in formal/smart casual attire (hahaha). The restaurant outdid themselves with every meal made it difficult for us to concede that we had had enough - especially at the breakfast buffets.
