I could not fault the Garden Court South Beach at all during my 6 night stay over Indaba. The hotel was chock and block full for the whole period but staff stayed friendly and as helpfull as they could. Although I was only on the 9th floor I had a stunning view of the beachfront and coastline and enjoyed watching... More

I have returned to the Garden Court South Beach Hotel with my family and additional 2 guests over the Easter Weekend 2012 and had no issues. Reading through some of the negatives that people do experience in some reviews are easily remedied. If you feel that you are being illtreated at the hotel or that you have a toilet that... More

My family and i have been staying at this hotel for many years and this specific stay was one that really upset me. It was a stay for business and pleasure. I was asked to vacate the breakfast room as i was dressed inappropriately. Had on a long full sleeve kaftan and the breakfast room supervisor said that that dress... More

Having stayed at this hotel twice before on short trips to Durban, we decided that it would be good for an eight day stay. I am happy to report that this was the case. As always the staff were friendly and helpful. We were allocated a room opposite the lifts which we know from experience can be noisy, both from... More

The Garden Court, Southern Sun, South Beach Hotel is probably at the wrong end of the Esplanade and is not the sort of place that one would want to wander around after dark. The hotel is situated opposite the Tropicana, which has a reputation of its own, and looks as if it has seen better days. Rooms, for a short... More

My family and I stayed at this hotel in August 2011, my only negative input regarding this hotel is that the noise levels in the early hours of the morning where room doors and closet doors are slammed shut is a bit of a let down as you are awoken from your holiday rest. It was also extremely noisy in... More

Durban... I expected a lot from Durban, but when we got there we were warned so many time about our safety that it did leave a negative feeling about it. I don't know if the warnings were in place or if our tour guide was just over protective, but because of this I didn't enjoy Durban as I thought I... More

The Garden Court South Beach provides good value in a neighbourhood with quite mixed character. The staff is excellent and very service minded. The breakfast very rich and varied, albeit in a breakfast room that can be a bit noisy. Don't expect luxury - this is a 3-star hotel, nothing more. No glamour. But a good three star hotel with...

Stayed here for one night on business and would go along with most of the earlier comments. The porter who helped me to my room was a bit effusive, lovely bloke though.The room, at the front of the hotel was a bit tired and the carpet looked like it could do with a good steam clean rather than a vacuum...
