Suncoast Hotel & Towers

Suncoast Hotel & Towers

8/10 Good

"We stayed for 1 night before the start of the Comrades Marathon. The hotel staff were excellent and it was helpful that they catered for the runners to have breakfast at 3am. Only negative is that our room was not that sound proof and we were repeatedly disturbed by other guests shouting and laughing in the corridor late at night. I called reception and they immediately put security in the corridor to ensure we were able to have a quiet rest of the night."

ONOMO Hotel Durban

ONOMO Hotel Durban

10/10 Excellent

"A great place to stay near North Beach in Durban. The staff were very helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with a variety of things to eat. A couple of suggestions: breakfast might be improved if there was a wider selection of bread - they only had sliced bread. Also there was only one coffee machine for the whole of the restaurant so there were often queues. I’d go back."
