    The place is stylish, the staff are best.

    Make sure to get superior queen room with hottub. The hotel is in the very central location in a good area of Durban. It's also not far from tropical Morningside...

    This is a hotel go-to for Durban! The location is amazing for exploring Durban. It is in a communal lounge area.

    Cold breakfast, it should be better.

    We had such a fantastic stay at this luxurious hotel! The location in a lush tropical garden with stunning views of the Indian Ocean from the terrace was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel is situated on a steep hill, which made for a bit of a climb on foot, but it was definitely worth it. The surroundings were so peaceful and quiet, nestled in a residential area with excellent security. The service at this place was top-notch, with housekeeping taking great care of us and the staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Special thanks to the in-house manager who provided exceptional customer service throughout our stay. We also loved the leisure swimming pool and the sun terrace, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. it was a wonderful experience and we would highly recommend this hotel to our friends.

    That the breakfast could have had a bit more variety, especially for longer stays. However, it was still delicious and satisfying.

    The room was beautifully decorated and the bed was very comfortable with excellent bedlinen. The attention to detail was outstanding. The breakfast was delicious with a superb selection. We occurred trouble with our car battery and the owner went out of his way to personally assist us to solve the problem. The staff is also very friendly with lots of personality. We will definitely return to this delightful Guest House. As seasoned travellers across the globe, we highly recommend Goble Palms as indeed the perfect " Urban Retreat!"
