花園庭院南海灘飯店(Garden Court South Beach Hotel)

The reason why I booked with trip. COM is the location and nice food especially at this particular facility where I spent night and prepared to come back in two weeks time for Xmas

Yes, we had to stay there as a Team's base arrangement. The location is bad. the area around is terribly busy, noisy at night, not to mention the beach lounge which blasts music till early morning. Would not recommend walking around after dark and behind the building. Number of rooms located directly opposite or near lifts., therefore in rooms you hear as lifts as people. Very noisy. Lifts are slow and at busy time, like breakfast time, you may have to rather take stairs. Breakfast is a considerably basic buffet, but of decent quality. Remember, it a 3 Star Hotel. Rooms are dated and dull. Bed and linen... just OK. No duvet covers just a blanket over the sheet... Everything is functioning though, but doors are very squeaky. Soundproofing is not existing. You hear every room's toilet flush, not to mention your own room's bathroom taps and toilet flush. It's a budget hotel attracting budget crowd...On a positive note, the Hotel has Spur restaurant on the ground floor and kiosk where you may buy water and snack. Staff is very friendly and attending to your requests. Summary, its ok if you are on tight budget and must be there. Otherwise, pay a just a bit more and stay at Edward Hotel (4 star) 300m away with excellent restaurant., quality soundproof rooms and quiet surroundings. Both hotels belong to reputable hotel group Southern Sun

Recommended ,especially when visit Durban city along with your family. Swimming pool area and the view to the sea and beach are wonderful,.Highly recommended the Steak House Restaurant: Excellent! Room found clean, daily cleaning refresh done by hotel personnel, the personnel from reception always helping with all the info needed, everywhere nice and polite personnel. Good place to stay and spend vacation.

Thank you so much South Beach Garden Court for the beautiful hospitality. Firstly for assisting us with a an early check-in. 30 minutes later after our arrival, our rooms were ready. Secondly there are two employees who stood out; the lady that assisted us upon arrival and Sboh. Also want to believe all your staff is exceptional. From bookings to check out. The security gentlemen at the entrance were very friendly and strict. Big up to them as well. Thank you. Matoboho Thekiso

Upon our family's visit to Garden Court South Beach, we were turned away from parking and sent to 1st check-in. During the check-in process we discover that we had to pay for parking, this is disappointing as it was neither communicated during the booking process nor included in the booking amount. To our surprise the parking bays are so small you have to be a slender to fit in between cars. After check-in we proceeded to our room and the following improvement areas should be considered: 1. The room entrance is so tight you can't easily fit a baby stroller. 2. There is no power point / electrical plugs by the bedside. 3. There were no drinking glasses in the room, we were told that we had to hire glasses at the hotel bar downstairs. 4. The room's bathroom is so small and outdated with a bathtub that doubles as a shower. The towel rack is located right above the toilet. Furthermore the toilet paper is not at the best angle from the toilet. 5. The ratio of number of guests in the 23 floors compared to the 5 elevators is inadequate as it is a real struggle moving between floors considering COVID19 regulations. The hotel offers repetitive breakfast with minimal changes. The following improvement areas should be considered regarding breakfast: 1. The cooking method should reduce frying for the hot breakfast. 2. The English breakfast should offer more changes instead of only substituting one or 2 items as it gets tiring after a few mornings. 3. The cold breakfast should offer more types of cheeses and cold meats instead of only cheddar cheese and ham. 4. There should be more juice options instead of orange and apple daily.

I've enjoyed that Garden court Hotel more specifically the second floor where there's pool, it got that sliding door that gives your the access to the pool garden and at night watching the ocean with fishermen lights

Family friendly hotel. Neat, clean and very convenient. The hotel price is good to the pocket. It has easy access to the beach. We always enjoy our stays there. The kids like it and we will sure return again.

Friendly and helpful staff, clean room, great breakfast buffet and location was within walking distance to uShaka Aquarium. There's also a Spur steakhouse on the ground floor which made getting a good dinner convenient. Loved looking out on the ocean from our windows!

As always, the Southern Sun hotels are great. On the beach front, walking distance from Marine world, and not expensive, with under cover, secure parking; what else do you need for a perfect breakaway or workaway? The people working at reception were very friendly and assisted every request or question politely.
