Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Beverly Hills from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the Beverly Hills' brilliant proximity to the beach and the stunning sea view, especially from the heated pool where complimentary ice cream and fruit slices are a delightful touch. The breakfast selection is often described as fantastic, with options catering to Halaal diets, and the on-site restaurants serve delicious food. While some guests have noted that certain aspects of the rooms, like the bathrooms, could benefit from upgrades, the location and overall experience make it a favorite for holidays in Durban and Umhlanga.

The heated pool with a sea view was acceptable. They even gave complimentary ice cream poolside.
The shower in my room lacked hot water for both nights. The cold tap actually broke off the first night. i asked for trousers to be laundered by 2pm the next day. The answer was no, so i had to find a laundromat myself! it was quite an ordeal.

The breakfast had a wide CHOICE and alternatives were on offer.
The checkout service was upsetting and RUDE. Our room door opened without a knock, ignoring the DND sign. It happened multiple times. The hotel only had two irons , made it difficult to get one. The hotel lacks a microwave, inconvenient needing to warm food.
