Hotel The Riverside Hotel
10 Kenneth Kaunda Drive, 4065 Durban, South Africa – Great location - show map
The breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very clean. The place is secured.

The hospitality, the attention to detail, the help and friendliness of the staff, how knowledgeable the staff was.

Resort was clean and very friendly staff to my whole family. Will recommend the hotel and stay again any time. Dinner and breakfast was excellent with options to choose at breakfast.

Good location and parking is available at no extra cost unlike other places around where they slap you with a surprise parking bill at check-in.

The hotel is beautiful an has all the amenities you need. The beds are comfy and rooms are clean. Location is so convenient

The room was big and spacious and view even better. The breakfast was really good.

Room was spacious, clean and well kept keep the good work we will be back soon

They're are well prepared during this pandemic period, sanitizers everywhere even at the elevators

A special thanks to the star of the restaurant Mannie Govender for going out of his way to help us with a special request.

Family rooms are comfortable. I love the area the hotel is at.
