Very Warm Welcome, Impressive Facility

Reviewed By luca b

Thanks to Dorothy! She is a very competent Front Office Manager. She gave us a very warm welcome. It was great. Also Thanks to Theo, he is a super concierge and always helped us! The architecture of the hotel is impressive. You feel like you're in a different time. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are large, many rooms face the garden. The price level for overnight stays is very high. You pay much more for a sea view room. The food in the hotel is very good and inexpensive. The hotel is quiet and very centrally located. Great view (lighthouse!). Unfortunately the beach was closed due to the flooding in the area of Durban a month ago. The curry dishes are highly recommended.

We have stayed at Sandals before, and proof of approval is a return visit. This time we had only one night which is unfortunate- I think you need a week to enjoy the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of this fine guesthouse, which belies its position near the noisy and bustling town that Umhlanga has become. Everything, service, staff, room, location, breakfast, pool area and garden were top class, but special note needs to be made of a well-trained, courteous, friendly and helpful staff. This is what a guesthouse should be.

Good location, standard service

Reviewed By N3Aviation

The location is good within the Gateway precinct, which is convenient. Rooms are standard for the type of hotel. When fully occupied during high season it can be quite noisy. Staff and service are average. Nothing above the minimum one would expect.

City Lodge Hotel Umhlanga Ridge

Ideally situated next to the upmarket Gateway shopping and entertainment complex, City Lodge Umhlanga Ridge blends into the surroundings of its modern environment. Durban is just minutes away on the adjacent freeway, as is the city’s international airport. The five-storey hotel is in the heart of the new business district that has emerged in the Umhlanga area. It is also a short drive from Umhlanga’s popular promenade and beach front.

Excellent Value for Money

Reviewed By AYAZAM

The hotel has an excellent location, good Parking facilities and very friendly Staff. Walking access to Gateway Mall and felt safe. Just an allert if you have any respitary allergies because of the hotel carpets (We did have issues). It would also be nice if in the future you could have family rooms with 2 Double Beds but the sleeper couch helped

Better than your normal Express

Reviewed By TeflonMan

I wouldn't normally bother to leave a review for a HIX. An Express is an Express is an Express. However ... While the rooms here are typical Holiday Inn Express standard, the spacious public areas, the great staff and, not least, the Butcher Block restaurant right next door set it apart. Keep up the good work and we will return time & again.

Reviewed By vanderwesthuizen2018

The hotel is conveniently next to Gateway shopping mall and for a long time shopping and strolling was done in comfort and safety. All staff is at the right place at the right time - always courteous and supporting. The reception staff 's knowledge and service has yet to be equalled as they attended to customer's requests efficiently and attentively. Special request for the breakfast was accommodated without any hassle's. The rooms are very basic but clean. This is the first hotel where parking space is ample - making parking easy.
