Durban hotels and hostels

The accommodation website of Durban Tourism, book-a-bed-ahead (www.bookabedahead.co.za) allows you to browse and book online. Durban Tourism ([tel]031-304 4934; www.durbanexperience.co.za; 1st fl, Tourist Junction) can also help you out, whatever your budget, but it’s best not to front up here on arrival with your luggage, as you could become an easy target for theft.

Despite what you think when you see the hotel-lined beachfront promenade, much of Durban’s best accommodation for all budgets is in the northern and northwestern suburbs, where there are upmarket B&Bs and hostels for the budget traveller. Unless you are set on sleeping by the sea, accommodation in the suburbs is better value than the beachfront options. Some hostels will collect you from the airport and many arrange trips to the beach and other places of interest. Many top-end options are in the suburbs and towards Umhlanga Rocks, with a few in and around the city centre.
