There are large accommodation facilities in the same price range nearby, and we recommend that. Local people often asked me, "Why did you stay at the Riviera Hotel Durban?" In fact, there is no air conditioner, no shampoo, the toilet is cold, and the whole hotel is old, so I do not recommend it. The only advantage is that there is a petrol station in the vicinity and there is something like a small convenience store nearby.

The hotel was extremely dirty. We had spider webs and dozens of bugs in our room and one of the beds had blood on it. The hotel was located in a very unsafe area yet the lobby lacked any security measures.

Dear Sir/ Madam My family recently stayed at your "hotel" Riviera Hotel 127 Victoria Embankment, Esplanade, Durban, 4001, on the weekend of Easter. I was horrified at the service we received. The General Manager/ or Front Office Manager, Hussain, refused to state his designation to us and lacks the number one skill needed by management, LISTEN. The service from the receptionist, lacked enthusiasm and courtesy. We were allocated a room that would be perfect for a horror movie. 1.The carpet in the room was laced with black dust, as though it hadn't been cleaned in weeks, to which Hussain's response was, "we are situated on the coast, and dust comes in from a recent storm". 2.The towels in the bathroom, which were once white, looked ready to be disposed off. We used our own face clothes and bought our own towels. 3.Nobody helped us to our room 105, we explored almost all the floors of the hotel, with our daughter who is mobility-impaired (disability walking). 4.We didn't get to watch the TV, as the signal was not strong enough, and hardly visible. 5.The rooms are extremely noisy, at all hours of the night. 6.There was no cutlery, microwave, fridge in the room, and only two glasses to service a family of 5. Needless to say I have advised my family and friends, never to stay at this hotel, it's a headache, zero hospitality experience, it will ruin their vacation. Dissatisfied Customer

Check ☑ in was 14:00 and check ☑ out was 10:00 the following day, that's was amazing and prices are very good, I wish I can come again for week or month. According to security I think if you entered the building you must be checked if you are a visitor or what.
