Everything you need in shops, restaurants and bars. Hotel is a little dated, but going through a refurbishment at the moment. The rooms are big and clean and have everything you need for a fab stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AD261B971AFA877CD5DD550620783A5385B1838F1719732269547.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C31A7CD18D166DA43F78A13F50E194194567C46E1719732269648.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Troy 14 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cleanliness ##### Troy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Shelley 24 Jan 2024 Noisy ##### Shelley Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Adilson 29 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness #### Otima localizacao Otima localização.

Although not like a 5-star hotel, their service is beyond 5-star. It is sterling. I will lodge here again and again! ##### Anthony Stayed 4 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hussein 16 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Across from Gateway! location, locaton, ... Hotel room was very comfortable and in excellent condition. Bedding, bathroom, furniture were all great. Wifi was ok but not capable of video. TV channels were limited. Very quiet on top floor room, as I was on the back and not facing Gateway. Location was fantastic - I walked across the road to Starbucks for breakfast rather than eat at the hotel. Parking is not marked and I could not find it before checking in. Staff were always helpful, but reception needs some work compared to other City Lodges I have stayed at. I stayed here because the price was good and it was not possible to get any closer to Gateway, while still being close to the rest of Umhlanga. ##### Hussein Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 5 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Stay Good Stay ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Dinesha 28 Nov 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Please note this hotel was already fully booked before booking was done on Hotels .com ##### Dinesha Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### JC 17 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A bit disappointed this time round We have always stayed at this property in the past as they have friendly staff, comfortable clean rooms/bathroom and a great new Cafe. However on Saturday evening at 1 am the people next door started making a noise with loud music and loud conversation/laughter. When we asked them to tone it down they just carried on. We then asked the hotel for assistance and the security guard went to speak to them. They proceeded to threaten him whereafter we requested to be moved (in the middle of the night) to another room. The hotel granted this but I feel we should not have been inconvenienced, the hotel should have moved them/ thrown them out or alternatively called the police (as the guard was threatened). Hotel guests should not have to figure out how to get a good night's sleep, the hotel should ensure this, afterall we paid to stay there. My concern is this, should there not be a night /senior manager on duty at night for situations like these? The poor receptionist and security guard were no match for these selfish people. Other than that, a nice clean hotel. ##### JC Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 21 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### City Lodge Hotel Umhlanga Ridge The staff are so helpful and friendly - well done to all of them.

The lady at the front desk was completely untrained and slow. We needed to check in quickly to get some rest to continue our journey in the morning. The check in was very unpleasant and we will NOT support this establishment again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Regina 23 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The place was clean and staff were friendly and helpful.
