I would go back there and refer people to go stay. Staff were fantastic, super friendly. Not too far to walk to the beach area or to Uzaka Marine if you're not in a hurry. Rooms were cleaned every day.

Good experience. Nice, neat service was extremely good and I will recommend it to my peers.

Home away from home. Perfect location with lots of activities to do.

It was nice and the reception staff was awesome. It could improve as when we arrived there were cockroaches in the family room. No welcome notes in the room.

Enjoyment. Enjoyed everything was good.

A total nightmare! We were originally booked into Bayside Hotel 108, room 121. However, our first night (27/08/2026) was a total nightmare! The noise coming from the street (in front and on the side) was excessive. We also heard several gunshots. Additionally, light shone throught the bathroom windows and the entire room was lit up. Then, at about 2am in the morning, a number of woman arrived in the room next to ours. They were loud, both in the room and in the corridor. They then had their showers at about 2:30am, and the noise carried on. We barely slept at all the entire night. Given this situation, we approached the manager at Bayside 116, Mr Reggie Naicker, the following morning and requested to be transferred to a quiet room at Bayside 116 where we had stayed twice before in previous years when attending our annual conference. As in the past, Mr Naicker was extremely helpfull and assisted us to transfer to room 211 at Bayside 116. Our first night - the 28th - was very quiet and we managed to recover from the previous night's lack of sleep. Unfortunately, our next night - the 29th - was again a total disaster with excessively loud and intermittent noise coming from what we assumed to be a malfunctioning airconditioning unit outside in the corridor between the hotel and the building next door. This noise prevented us from sleeping at all as it would start and stop the whole night. Just after 12pm (midnight) we phoned reception and explained the situation. A security manager came to investigate. However, nothing happened afterwards and the noise continued. At about 1 am we called reception again. This time the night manager came to investigate. He was of the opinion that the noise was caused by the airconditioning unit of room 111 down below. The noise continued for most of the rest of the night. The next morning we were told by one of the ladies at reception that several complaints were received from people in other rooms. We had not slept at all and were completely exhausted, and not in a state to attend the final day of our conference. We therefore decided to check out of the hotel by about 8am, and drive back to Howick. . Thus, as a direct consequence of the situation described above, we checked out a day early as it would have been a total waste of time to try and attend our conference. . We believe that it would only be fair for the hotel/Lekkeslaap to refund us for being compelled to leave a day early due to circumstances beyond our control. Moreover, given the state of disrepair of the entire area around Bayside, and the lack of safety related to the presence of druglords, prostitutes and the dangers of getting mugged (a frequent occurrence in the area), we are firmly resolved never to stay in that area of Durban ever again. We want to emphasize that Mr Reggie Naicker has always been very helpful and cannot be held responsible for this sitauation at all. There is nothing he can do about the progressive disintegration of the area into what it has become - a dangerous and filthy slum. Given the situation described above, we would appreciate your consideration to refund us for having to check out a day early. Sincerely,. Jan & Shirley Steenekamp.

Fumigate more often. We enjoyed our stay. The security staff were great and they helped us with our bags. Cleaning was perfect; the only problem we had was cockroaches, and we even found them in our bags. Please fumigate more often.

Fantasties en waarde vir geld. Ons het lekker gebly, was veilig, netjies, skoon. Die plek was sentraal geleë, vriendelike staff, 24 uur sekuriteit en daaglikse house keeping.

Not happy at all. There was mould in my kids' room, the toilet was not working well, the maintenance was weak; they don't do it at all. The cleaning lady always came between 14:30 and 15:00.
