Emakhosini Hotel on East
first of all it should never be listed, the building is in bad condition, the windows are falling, there is no aircondition considering it was 98 deg outside, the place was not clean I would not rate it any star. Expedia should take them off the hotels It is sad to call it a hotel.

Radisson Blu Hotel, Durban Umhlanga
Clean, tidy and relatively upmarket. Staff were helpful and tried their best despite the odd delays here and there. Overall private and comfortable stay.
