Handy and nice hotel for Durban. Location not on the beach but good enough. There is 24 hours security and secure car park.
The breakfast and restaurant is very good.
This round my room is facing the road, can be a bit noisy compare to inward facing room.
Great hotel, lots of amenities - spa, pool, onsite restaurant and cool bar to hang out in, short 5 min walk to North Beach, 24 hour security and free undercover parking, back up generators which was excellent given the increased load shedding while we were staying in South Africa.
I always use this hotel on my trips to Durban. In good location & walkable to the beach during the day time. Breakfast is good BUT would like to see some Halaal meat products on offer. Staff is great & very friendly
From the road the hotel doesn’t look like much, it’s a neat and clean, modern hotel. Stayed here because of a visa appointment that was in central town. Good location if you need ti do something in and around the area. Really impressed at the hotel, the room and facilities for a 3 star. Will definitely recommend😊
Had a lovely time at Onomo. Close to the Expo and the beach. Lots of runners staying with a cool Comrades vibe. They organised an early breakfast buffet on race morning. Thanks Guys 👌
The staff was exceptional. The lobby is very nice.
Room was spacious and well appointed. I was surprised by our shower as there was nothing separating the shower from the toilet and sink. So once you shower the floor in the bathroom stays wet.
wonderfully run hotel in the north beach area of durban
more of an aparthotel than your usual hotel as the rooms are very big with plenty of extras, separate bedroom , living area & shower room.
possibly the best hotel i have stayed at in South Africa
all the staff were great , reception very helpful , dining staff good & housekeeping very good
special mention for Annie the planning manager & TJ the hotels driver / guide around Durban
Disabled room was not very accommodating. Breakfast was average, not many choices. Not safe to walk to beachfront.. Newish hotel ok for short stay.

The wifi kept going out & the food was way too salty. The staff though did a very good job of trying to help resolve these situations

Lovely staff, but.....
The Onomo staff is responsive and helpful! The vegetarian food was awful. No tissues in the room. No hair dryers in the room. I was able to get one from housekeeping but do they have enough for all the rooms?
Our stay was very good. Very comfortable and economical. Just the hotel was packed the evening we checked in and we were on the 1st floor. It was very noisy all night. Unfortunately, it was young ppl and they bounced a ball above us and screamed and laughed in the passageways most of the night. At vreakfast it was over corwded and hot. I suggest you have the aircons running doring breakfast as it gets very uncomfortable. Staff are always amazing.
