This establishment is one of those hidden gems in a busy city like Durban. The service is top notch. They go that extra mile to ensure that you are enjoying your stay. It doesn't feel like an ordinary commercial hotel with tiny rooms, it feels like you are an elegantly decorated large home. It's situated in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood... More

The St. James on Venice is a lovely hotel which combines all of the comforts one would expect from a larger establishment with the attentive service and intimacy of a smaller establishment, not to mention the old world charm of the building itself. The staff excellent and go out of their way to ensure that your stay is pleasant. Another... More

The St. James is a beautifully renovated historic building with an excellent kitchen, an elegant and very friendly service and it's close to all Durban attractions. Sunet and her staff gave every support for our stay and activities. We stayed at the St James as a start to a 14days visit to SA with our 2 sons (15+12) and we... More

A very pleasant stay indeed. Situated in Ann old neighbourhood, it nevertheless has a charm of its own. Very comfortable, stylishly refurbished rooms and an excellent restaurant make this a business refuge of note.

Great hotel within close proximity to all Durban attractions. It is a elderly building which has been tastefully converted to a hotel. It feels very secure and safe. The staff are excellent providing very professional standards without getting in your face. The food is varied and tasty, I loved the breakfast choice which competes with the best of English breakfasts.... More

I stayed at The St James on Venice while in Durban recently, and what a wonderful experience it was. If you like five-star quality of the best hotels (without the crowds and noise), combined with the intimacy, peace and quiet of a good guest house (without a hovering owner that wants to introduce you to everybody else and the dog),...

If you are from Durban - try their high tea- you opulent possibly be disappointed- if you need a venue for upmarket baby shower , kitchen tea or even a small wedding - I can recommend them with onfidence - proffesional but personal service .
