The Balmoral Hotel

I was invited by colleagues for dinner on a Friday evening. Not quite the area I wanted to be in, but went along. Wow, what a beauty. The hotel is so well looked after & the security in the front were appreciated. The service was good & the food really tasty. Very good for R195. I don’t think they anticipated such a hungry bunch though. I’ll be back for the carvery on a Saturday.

Excellent place to stay in Durban. The hotel is located on the beach promenade in the safest part of the city. Very good breakfast. Food in the restaurant is very good. We tried buffet dinner that was very diverse (grilled seafood, beef, and veg curry). As it is a halal hotel, they don't serve alcohol. There is free parking. I really liked the vintage feeling of the hotel's interior. Zaheera, the office manager, was incredibly friendly and helpful. When I told her that we wanted to go to the jazz club, she arranged for the hotel's car to bring us there and then pick us up. Thank you 😃.

For the age of the hotel. The upkeep is impressive. The staff is friendly and helpful. The Halaal restaurant is a great addition with good breakfast buffet option too. The sea view room is also great. Just one note thr room was equipped with all the correct towels and the quality of the towels were sub par however this got corrected the next day without me complaining. So this indicates the level of service they strive for.
