My stay at Emakhosini Hotel On East had its ups and downs. The bright and clean rooms were a plus, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. However, the location was quite secluded, and the noise from the bar made resting difficult at times.

My stay at Emakhosini Hotel On East was quite disappointing overall. While the staff were friendly and eager to help, the noise levels at night were unbearable, especially during a jazz function that kept me awake until the early hours. The room itself was unfortunately not well-maintained, with issues regarding cleanliness that should not be overlooked.

I ended up at Emakhosini because it was one of the few options left during a busy week in Durban. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay much more comfortable, even when the room had some cleanliness issues. However, the noise level was a big downside for me; the hotel hosted events that kept me awake until the early hours, which totally diminished my relaxation experience.

Breakfast had its moments; it tasted good overall, but it was pretty basic and didn’t offer much variety. Also, it felt a little weird that drinks were billed separately.
Facilities

The available facilities were decent; I appreciated the attentive housekeeping and the option for room service, but I really wished for a pool or something more than just standard accommodation.

While the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the overall experience was marred by cleanliness issues. The room was small but well-kept daily, though the hotel's condition left much to be desired.
