Gooderson Beach Hotel

Durban


Wake up to the sounds, sights and smell of the ocean in a beachfront room at the ageing Beach Hotel. In the thick of Durban's watery action, the place could do with an upgrade but is handy to the informal weekend markets and the many promenade pools. Spacious rooms (some with bathtub) have a great view from the 6th floor.

Be warned: the wi-fi, TVs and other electronics are known to be on the fritz.
