    The details you care about most

    The seamless check-in made for a wonderful start. Staff were incredibly friendly, ensuring all needs were met, from accommodating luggage to prompt room service. The beach is practically at your doorstep, and the buffet breakfast is a delightful treat. However, a bit more attention to housekeeping would elevate the experience further.

    welcoming staff
    limited tv channels

    I recently stayed at The Edward and found

    the staff to be incredibly welcoming and the breakfast a delightful experience. However, I did wish for a wider variety of TV channels, as it would have added some extra enjoyment during downtime.

    breakfast buffet
    outdoor pool
    spa treatments
    small bed

    The breakfast buffet was an absolute highlight, with a fantastic spread that had something for everyone. The outdoor pool was perfect for relaxing after a long day of exploring, and I really enjoyed the spa treatments available. The bed could've been bigger, but honestly, it didn't ruin my overall experience at all. 🏖️

    spacious room
    accommodating staff
    unhygienic condition
    unsafe location
    inconsistent service

    The room was spacious and impeccably clean, featuring a breathtaking ocean view that made our stay feel special. Dining options were plentiful with a great selection for breakfast, and the staff were genuinely accommodating, even arranging special treats for my child's birthday. However, the initial encounter with a cockroach was off-putting, and the area felt unsafe at night, warranting caution. Additionally, the level of service varied, as some requests during our stay were met with indifference.

    comfortable beds

    noisy air conditioner
    poor maintenance
    disruptive noise

    I had a pleasant stay with comfortable beds and friendly staff, which made for an enjoyable experience. However, the noise from the air conditioner was disruptive at times, and the maintenance of some amenities could use attention. It's a great option for families looking for a decent getaway with nice views, but improvements in room conditions would enhance the stay.

    good location
    kind staff

    This was just a strong match for a date night in Durban with good value for the price. The location is good, right on the Golden Mile and close to restaurants, making it easy to enjoy the beach. Be cautious about the noise levels during your stay, especially at night.

    victorian style
    welcoming atmosphere
    accessible hallways
    limited breakfast
    overpriced dining

    The Edward is beautifully decorated in a Victorian style, making the common areas feel both elegant and welcoming. The accessibility for seniors was excellent, with spacious hallways and elevators that made getting around comfortable.

    More variety in daily breakfast options would be nice.

    beachfront access
    spacious suite
    prime location
    outdated facilities
    dirty windows

    The location shines with its beachfront access and proximity to restaurants and activities, making it a prime spot for adventure or relaxation. I appreciated the spaciousness of the suite, which provided a comfortable living area for unwinding after a long day.

    However, the hotel shows its age with outdated facilities, including a leaking shower ceiling and ineffective air conditioning that leaves you sweating. I spotted dirty windows obstructing the sea view, a disappointment for those anticipating a picturesque backdrop. Further, the carpet felt dingy underfoot, and amenities like the toiletries seemed insufficient for the number of guests, requiring multiple requests for extras. The pool was on a higher floor, yet grabbing a towel necessitated a trek to the ground level, making for an inconvenient dip.
