Located on Durban’s Golden Mile, with the Marine Parade and beach on its doorstep, the The Balmoral is a short walk from the Durban ICC and the uShaka Marine World.

The hotel and facility very good but with a little bit more effort and upkeep it can be better. The buffet breakfast extremely overpriced for the very limited offering. This price should not be more than R120.

    The hosts, Robyn and Steve were amazing! Greeted us with a warm welcome upon our arrival, and made us feel at home immediately. The room(s) and facilities are very well-kept, clean, and are organised with any essentials that you might need. The area is very quiet. Tucked away in Durban North, it's well-located if you need to pop in and out of Durban for business, or even if you're looking at heading up north towards Umhlanga/Ballito for beach time.

    Entire property and rooms beautifully decorated. It was quiet and private. Even though there was a function downstairs the noise did not reach my room. It’s not on the beach but is quite central to both Durban & Umhlanga. The views from my balcony and our table at breakfast were stunning. Vegetarian(halal) breakfast omelette was delicious.
