    Pros +

    • The staff at Beverly were exceptional but the hotel is very tired. Balcony door couldn't slide open, toilet pan was loose, aircon leaked but was quickly repaired, TV didn't work too well, no instructions on TV and coffee machine
    • Loved the location north of Durban - lots of great restaurants and things to do. The breakfast was great (loved the monkeys!)
    • I stay at the Beverly Hills every year around the Christmas Holidays. It has always been a wonderful experience.The staff couldn't be better, always warm and welcoming.

    Cons -

    • Service standards of staff was very good & professional
    • Some updating to the AC systems is necessary. Temperature control doesn't function properly.
    • Upon check-in staff were professional & welcoming, which made a positive first impression. However, from arrival onwards, several aspects of our stay fell below expectations. By the way, we were on a late flight, arrived around 10pm & shockingly we we had to carry our own luggage from the outside parking area without any assistance, which was unexpected for a hotel of this standard.In the room, the bathroom door did not close properly, and there was an unpleasant odour after a few flushes. The balcony light was noticeably dim compared to those in other rooms, which were significantly brighter. Throughout our stay, only x2 250ml bottles of water were replenished & none of the bathroom products were replaced which was an inconvenience. Would have appreciated for towels that were removed Sat after to be replaced as we were only checking out the next dayService levels were inconsistent, particularly at the main restaurant, where some members of staff were not always patient with us. We also observed other groups receiving what appeared to be preferential treatment. Getting seated and finalising our restaurant bill are worth forgetting. Hopefully the inroom breakfast won't disappoint.The spa experience was disappointing. The booking process was tedious, with unsuitable time slots, a receptionist who was not consistently available, and payment terms that were not clearly explained upfront. Additionally, the absence of a facial steamer and a general lack of consistency in the overall spa experience detracted from what should have been a relaxing and well-managed service. Also noticed that by the gate leading to the beach, there was no security nor any access control. Some offerings like hotel ambrellas, towels for beach usage can be helpful.Read the reviews before making our booking and our expectations and experience were totally misaligned.

    Check in was the highlight...staff was professional & consistent. The pool area was relaxing. The Patriots were amazing. Lady who assisted with housekeeping (Nokuthula) was amazing

    I really love the old Hollywood feel that this property exemplified

    The AC started leaking condensation. And instead of giving me some kind of compensation, they just take me for informing them.

    7BassonPosted on: 10-20-2025

    All good

    The place is old and showing signs that replenishment is needed . Rust showing on doors, need paint job.

    10MkhizePosted on: 7-28-2025

    The staff were exceptional, from the entrance and house keeping, very organized The food was amazing and the view was breathtaking

    The uncomfortable noise from above our room, every morning it was as if someone was moving furniture

    4Jzam1776Posted on: 6-27-2025

    The honeymoon set up was perfect on arrival. View was perfect.

    Taps did not work, hence maintenance was called in our honeymoon morning. Absolutely terrible. On speaking to the concierge on duty he literally just said it's fine take your time over breakfast. Going to breakfast without a shower just does not do well...NOPE!!! Spoke to the manager on duty, still no feedback. Well, apparently if we have booked via booking.com there is not even a partial or consideration. She just asked that in future we book with her. $240 for this. Rather disappointing.

    Great location, close to the airport and spectacular views. Amazing restaurant. Staff are all professional and friendly.

    10DominiquePosted on: 6-10-2025

    BEST hotel in Durban! The staff are incredible and the location is perfect! I also loved the buffet breakfast. It is the only place that I stay when I travel to Durban. Value for money!

    10vanessaPosted on: 6-8-2025

    It was very busy and noisy on Friday night, Saturday morning because of the comrades marithon.

    Nothing. It’s perfect in every way.

    5PaulPosted on: 4-30-2025

    staff and the view and the closed of the sea and the great weather

    the rooms are dated and old and tired and need to be sorted out and maintain dated

    10BongaPosted on: 4-28-2025

    staff amazing, food great! proximity to the beach is a bonus

    Bath is too small

    9YolwandoPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Proper 5 star service, the staff really pays attention to detail. Great location, all rooms have sea view. The common bathroom downstairs is super clean.

    I gave a 9 rating because that bathroom/shower situation is old fashioned and rather dangerous for elderly people.

    8DavidPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Location and ground floor and garden settings and services.

    The rooms have not been updated in decades. Big disappointment

    5MutangwaPosted on: 4-24-2025

    Passable

    Being in separate rooms. My wife and I in one, and the children in two separate rooms.

    10ArmandPosted on: 4-22-2025
