Always reserve a room on a high enough floor to avoid the noise on Chartwell Drive. A room is preferable on the other side facing the Radisson Hotel- not Chartwell Drive. Its too noisy- cars hooting and customers at restaurant clubs downstairs noisy

This is a nice hotel I happily use for short stays in the area. This is a good choice for me as it is close to the local bars and restaurants, there are some really nice ones there. The hotel is clean and modern and the rooms are quiet and comfortable. They do a nice breakfast. All good for the price.

We arrived early and were switched to a room with a kitchenette, which we considered to be a bonus. However, there was no dish soap or dish cloths to tidy up and use the dishes again. And no garbage appropriate for use in a kitchen. The room was fine and the beds were comfortable. The area is great and walkable to many shops and restaurants.

The staff at this place are phenomenal!! We had only booked this for one night, but ended up staying for 4 nights because we all took turns with the stomach flu. There is a pharmacy connected with the hotel, which was wonderful. Each morning when I would go down to extend for another night, they would ask how we were doing, give us water bottles and ask if there was anything extra they could do to help out. Across the street was a small grocery store that we could pick up things.. Uber Eats works there also, but you have to meet them outside the front door. The beds are very comfortable and nice size bathroom. It is about a 5 minute walk down to Umhlanga rocks and the lighthouse. There is a mall within walking distance and also several other restaurants besides what is in the mall. Parking is covered and secured. Breakfast has so many options and is so good. I would definitely stay at this place again if we go back.

The hotel is in a great location; Right from chevk in the service was exceptional, Pumula was amazing , service with a smile 😊; lots of restaurants around; across the street there is a pick n pay and various ATM machines, close to beach with walking/running trail. One suggestion would be to upgrade/ change the TV's, they are old the picture quality is bad.

Down the street there is a huge mall called Pearls of Umhlanga, it is beautiful with great shopping!!
I will definitely be back and will recommend this property!!

On this occasion there was an administration error and the hotel rebooked us into a more expensive high end resort hotel to compensate us. This was completely hassle free and was very much appreciated. They carried all the costs. Nice!

I have stayed in this hotel previously and it is a good quality, clean, safe hotel which is near by some excellent restaurants in Umhlanga Rocks. They obviously care about customer experience.

Disappointed

As a loyal, monthly returning client at Protea Marriott, i was sorely disappointed with the level of service. I was given room 552. Which has no sea view. It has a whole wall blocking even sunlight into the room
& a view of the flat across. I requested a change of room as i checked in around 5pm. I was told they fully booked and the lady who checked me in, didnt even check if i could be moved. She was so unhelpful! Also in my room, the amenities keep getting worse with each visit. I didnt even have tissues this time round. Also, get new towels.

My husband couldn’t find his wallet upon check out.
Hotel personnel sent two people to the room to search and found it. It was great!

I give this hotel an excellent overall review. It is clean. Staff is professional. It is just across the street from shopping, entertainment, and easily accessible to the beach.
I Love it and so did my family!

Unacceptable

For the price paid for a family room, the following:
1. Only 1 soap/shampoo etc
2. Tea/coffee also limited
3. So too the number of towels
4. Cold to lukewarm water to shower, both at night and in the morning

Poor service

I stay here atleast 6 nughts a month. For work purposes. 3 nights at a time. On the 1st night, my hotel room is fully stacked. Lotion, nodu wash, pack of pocket tissues, soaps. On the 2nd and 3rd nights, none of the things i used on the 1st night geta replaced. Also, when i request an iron it takes FOREVER.

Disappointed by the avarice of the hotel

At this level of price, you would at least expect one bottle of still water in the room.

Nice stay in Durban

Rooms were spacious and airy. Lovely, comfortable beds.

Carpets in the hallways were smelly.

Good breakfast but I think they are understaffed as we had to wait in long queues to be served.

Parking is really tight and you have to pay for parking daily.

Location is awesome. Close to great restaurants and walking distance to the beach. However, the beach outside Oyster Box hotel was filthy.

Great location, spacious and clean rooms - but the breakfast is unorganized and average. Maybe because of COVID to give them the benefit of doubt.
