The hotel is at the Gateway shopping centre and makes it easy to access all the restaurants and facilities in the shopping centre. I think that the hotel's greatest feature is its location. It is a fairly new hotel and contains all the necessary amenities, but it is easynto feel like you are just another guest - one of many.... More

This hotel is aimed at the business traveller. The room I stayed in was clean and well-appointed. I asked for a room on the top floor and was given it and it seemed there were very few other guests on the fourth floor. The bathroom was large and contained a fair size bath and shower. If you are wanting to... More

I arrived after 8pm from the airport. Nobody offered to help me with my work case and suitcase, even though I was clearly struggling. I phoned, because I could not find their parking, they were unable to assist and I had to park in the street. Which meant getting up early to avoid getting a fine. Their rooms have no... More

This is most probably the most well located hotel in the whole of Durban. SItuated right opposite the Gateway Shopping Centre in the business district of Umhlanga Ridge, you can work there at day and play there at night. I loev the standards of City Lodge and here they do not disappoint. Rooms are a fair size, bathrooms well appointed... More

Cheap, well situated directly opposite the entrance to the Gateway shopping centre, clean, modern and perfectly adequate for an overnight stay. Friendly staff, secure location, a business hotel by week and a shopper's hotel by the weekend. The only issue was one of noise at night outside my room (which was at the front of the hotel, facing the cafes... More

The locality of this hotel is really great as you are literally seconds away from the mall and the breakfast offering I must admit was very impressive and not-too-shabby. I really would recommend it to the travelling businessman who has limited time, and its a closer to the airport than downtown Durban. More
