Ekhaya is the best place to stay, especially if you are visiting Durban for leisure or group travel. I have traveled extensively. However, I have never been to the cleanest hotel ever. The staff were extremely friendly and highly professional. There has never been a day when I had to complain about anything. I loved the place, it is the best 👌.

The only thing they will need is a fast and reliable internet service, their own beauty spa, an electricity backup, as well as their own transportation for their visitors. Otherwise everything they have is the best.

Breakfast was exactly as I requested it to be. I did not have to wait too long for my breakfast to be made. The breakfast area is also very neat and clean. The staff are super friendly and accommodating.

There is nothing that I did not like. I do however think that the pricing is way more than a god hotel which does offer much more in terms of facilities and a variety regarding the breakfast menu if someone else would require. I personally choose a very simple breakfast and it works for me. I only stay here because of the location but this could change once construction on the N2 is complete. I would reconsider staying at a cheaper place with similar standards.

I Absolutely love everything about my stay from the security guard who was friendly to the staff who checked me in to the room which was soo beautiful and I loved the bathroom set up and all the extras the items that guests could forget at home. you have an amazing team, and the customer service is out of this world pleas please don't ever loose that it is the most refreshing thing to experience. the most amazing thing I had was dinner i has the grilled line fish with chips and salad... It was AMAZING and fresh and cooked to perfection!!!! the oat crunchies in the bedroom are phenomenal and if I could have bought a packet to take home I would have.

Nothing I can think of thank you, maybe that i had to leave

Location was great as its near to a brilliant restaurant called Lupa, cant recommend that restaurant enough, food is exceptional. The hotel breakfast was nice and the staff very welcoming. Little touches like slippers and amenities in the bathroom were very welcome. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again and recommend to others. We felt very safe staying there.

More sun loungers near the pool area.

The cleanliness & attention to detail in the rooms. It's got a homely, "taken care of" feel to it, which is lovely

Not that I didn't like it, but just to make a great place even better: perhaps offering firmer or softer pillows(just keep a few for those odd requests). A bit more staff, especially for the breakfast. It took way too long considering we were the only table.

A warm welcome from the security at the gate who greeted us by name upon arrival. Quick check in process after they gladly assisted with adding a night for us. They also seamlessly & promptly assisted when we wanted a different room(the one I'd seen on the pics). The staff is always willing to assist. The room is sufficiently equipped with everything one may need. Their breakfast is good & filling. It's a really great place!

Really friendly staff. Great service from start to finish. Good breakfast. Clean linen. Great hygiene all round. superb.

the only thing was for some reason the shower didn't heat up on my last day. could have been beyond the control of the premises. But definitely going back. My home away from home.

Breakfast was very edible with lots of variety. Location was in a very peaceful and tranquil environment.

Very limited DSTV channel selection. Could consider adding a netflix or showmax subscription.
