Exquisite Buffet Experience

“During my recent visit, I dined at the Lingela Restaurant for my mum's 90th Birthday celebration. I believe it's the best buffet in Durban! Our guests, many of whom were first-time visitors, thoroughly enjoyed the diverse offerings. The atmosphere was bustling yet pleasant, and the chefs did an excellent job preparing delicious meals. Hats off to the management and staff for maintaining such high standards!” view full review

Comfortable & Inviting Room

“I was actually surprised to get a room on the 21st floor of the Maharani. The captivating sea view from my room was amazing! While the room may not have been the epitome of luxury, it exceeded my expectations and hooked us up with a comfortable, cute atmosphere, made my stay enjoyable.” view full review

Adequate Bathroom Amenities

“The bathroom features were decent, with a duo bath/shower setup. Even though the water pressure varied, I appreciated the cleanliness and the amenities, made my stay more comfortable. However, it could benefit from a few updates to enhance the overall experience.” view full review

Great Breakfast Buffet
