It was a good stay ,one knows what to expect from a City Lodge, and, they deliver. The stay pleasant, the staff are great, friendly and efficient. The room is good, probably needs an upgrade (my humble opinion), the bed is comfortable and the bathroom is adequate. The shower door did not shut fully and was somewhat bothersome. I did not have time for breakfast, but, I know that the breakfast here is good. Decent variety, very fresh and really nice staff to give you a good start to your day. I would stay here again, it's a good choice at a fairly reasonable price.

Treating guests like children.

Nice hotel, just quite disturbing that as a smoker, you cannot go outside at the pool area to the smoking area after 9PM. They lock the door. So, in essence you are treated like a child, or a criminal and have to go out the front to the parking lot to have a cigarette. This also compromises your safety. I probably will NEVER stay there again, as this is the first hotel I have stayed in ever that does this and definately the ONLY CLHG establishment in the group that does this.

A hotel and public area amenities are supposed to be avialable 24/7.

Door lock didn't work

I feel very mixed about this hotel. The staff was quite nice checking us in, the pool seemed nice, and the restaurant was fairly nice as well. The halls smelled, our door did not lock (like not even a little bit), and a staff member opened our door two hours before checkout without knocking (and without using a key, just pushing the very unlockable door open). Luckily they had a safe, and no other incidents occured.

The room is nice and neat, the shower us really good, big enough and very relsxing after a long day. That bed, I want to stick it in my bag and take it home. The breakfast, very good, decent variety and tasty and generous. Overall, impressive, I would return.

Perfect location to ICC, rooms seemed recently renovated, new bedding, towels etc.
My room 078 is on the ground / basement floor and whilst everything seems brand new there was an odd smell in the room, like a mix of damp and mothballs. Not sure if this is due to the lower floor location that picks up more moisture, but might be worthwhile for management to look into.
Otherwise all great.

I enjoyed my stay, although it would help if more staff is able to help guests to check-in as it took forever and it was the 31st which means they expected a large number of people. we also kindly request bar fridges if possible as ice was not easily available.

Conducive environment

The hotels staff is friendly and professional, the rooms are clean. the only problems is the fridges, we have very small hotels and B&B's that have fridges. They have to move with the tomes and get organised. Drinking a hot beer in a hot City is not cool. We are a developing countryl but we have first world facilities.

Not City Lodge anymore!

The stay was average, check in was satisfactory, could have been better and staff were busy communicating with one another instead of helping customers. The hotel is slowly losing uts cleanliness and comforting look. I can safely say it wont take long for this to be another run down hotel. Was crowded and little check on sanitisation and visitors following Covid protocols. Was an agerage stay. Not what im used to from the City Lodge Group!

Hotels.com is dishonest

Hotels.com stated a room with a bed and sleeper couch, however the hotel did not have this available. Although I was logged in while booking, Hotels.com is being dishonest and not allocating my reward night/sticker. The night lady manager did not apologise for the inconvenience. Actually she did not even welcome or greet us.

Put me at the last room when there are closer rooms available. No lift and one to carry my luggage. BAD

Disappointing Stay

Room was not swept daily the tiled floors had sandy which made it really uncomfortable.
The phone in the room was not working. It was reported many times and not fixed.
I had to walk to reception to request room service & house keeping all the time.
Towels and bedding weren’t clean I had to request it to be changed.

Good Weekend-away Bad service

It was not so good because the room i had booked and paid for was not available upon -checking in so had to use alternative room which was smaller and less comfortable.

Their system needs to be upgraded to snychronise in real-time what is available and what is not

Ok, I suppose for a one or two night business trip

The breakfast was definitely not up to standard and most certainly not worth the extortionate price of R175 per person. As a matter of interest, one of the hotels in a lower grade in the city lodge group, namely Twon Lodge, Bellville in CT has a far superior breakfast.

Not even a bottle of water

After an international flight one sometimes gets a complementary bottle of water definitely not here the room was ok for a short stay the area has lots of road construction in the area
The area is sort of desolate however it’s a quick walk to downtown but must be careful the beach is also a short walk just be careful of the vagrants along the way

Not a “value for money group” anymore.

The restaurant was not open as it was under renovations. This was not told to me at the time of booking and was most certainly an inconvenience.

City Lodge has become expensive for what you get. You can stay at numerous other hotels and guest houses with a higher star rating in and around Durban cheaper with breakfast included, where City Lodge Durban as a 3 star costs you nearly R1,300 per night and you the. Have to pay an extortionate amount of R160 per person for breakfast. You will be told that this is due to the buffet spread. Others that have this charge way less, or include it in the price. Who can eat that much for breakfast anyway???? I urge people to look around before booking here and this is said mainly because of I do not perceive City Lodge to be value for money anymore.

When you question about the restaurant situation, you are met with a terrible attitude from the duty manageress of “I can book you at another hotel”........ shocking.

Cheaper cost of Breakfast

I would have liked to have included the breakfast but the cost is too high. With business stop overs it is not convenient to go somewhere else for breakfast. The price is too high.

Dissapointed

The carpets looked dirty and old, the corridor and the room were smelling. Room is very small. Not at all what I expected for the price. It was definitely not value for money. I was under the impression that CITY LODGE is a reasonably clean hotel. The hotel was very noisy.

I was sort of forced to stay there because I had already made the payment. Otherwise I would have
run away from that place.
I will never recommend this to any of my friends or family

My stay was good but my check in was not pleasant. The person that assisted was not polite and didn't when queried about the price I was charged on my card as opposed to the invoice she showed me but didn't bother to give me a copy of, she was very unhelpful... Its only when I thanked her sarcastically that she called her manager who was a able to help me with a contact number and get a refund.
