What guests think

Beverly Hills earns strong praise for its oceanfront setting, beautiful views, and attentive, welcoming staff who make special occasions feel memorable, while several reviews note the building's age and some maintenance or service hiccups that occasionally impact stays.

Rooms are widely appreciated for ocean vistas and comfortable beds, though decor and bathrooms can feel dated, and a few guests reported issues like weak air-conditioning, noisy units, or lack of hot water. The beachfront pool and easy access to the promenade and nearby dining are highlights, and breakfast and on-site meals draw frequent compliments despite an occasional long wait or subpar dish. Overall, expect a classic coastal stay in a prime spot, with occasional trade-offs from an older property.

The view was spectacular but Beverly Hills Hotel really need to up their game, in the lounge of the front foyer if you look up it looks like the suspended ceilings are going to fall off at any moment. For the prices that they charge the hotel is really looking shoddy and I would far rather stay in another hotel that is not trading on the views.

This hotel was extremely over priced. Room decor is very outdated, aircon unit made noise. When we arrived at our room the cleaning staffing were sitting on the floor in the hallway relaxing and chatting loudly. No help with our bags. Ordered food at the pool that took over an hour to arrive and was burnt. Only positive is the bed was comfortable, linen exceptional and towels were best I have ever used.

Excellent service and atmosphere. Clean and great location near restaurants and right by the ocean with beautiful views. The building is old so you can feel the history of the place compared with a modern hotel. The service and the location by the ocean is worthy to try. Breakfast is absolutely the best we had around South Africa!!

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Check-in was friendly and easy. Our suite was gorgeous, with a big seating area, two balconies, and a comfy bed with luxurious linens. We were spoilt rotten during our entire stay. Breakfast was delicious. This is a great recommendation if you are celebrating a special occasion. Well done, Beverly Hills. Thank you for making us feel special.

The Beverly Hills Hotel nestled along the Umhlanga coast is both beautiful and welcoming. The hearty reception on our arrival & the professional Check-in experience set the tone for what was a truly beautiful stay. A stunning room with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and the sounds of the waves breaking on the shore were mesmerising. A modified Afternoon Tea at The Lounge, Dinner at the Elements and Breakfast at the Sugar Club were all sublime. Dining was a gastronomical delight which was further enhanced by the warmth, attentiveness and hospitality of the Staff. Every member at the Beverly Hills were courteous, accommodating & ensured that we were more than comfortable at all times. This was an unrivalled hotel stay which has certainly beckoned our return in the future. Thank You Beverly Hills !!
