Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were so welcoming and clean, with a great fresh scent that set the ambiance to perfection. The only downside was the lack of amenities like a mini fridge and microwave, but the cleanliness and the lovely shower made up for it. The breakfast was awesome, although having only one soap and one shower gel was a bit limiting.
The rooms offered a view towards the mall, albeit not particularly special, with the option to choose a garden view. They were spacious and impeccably clean. However, there was no fridge available in the rooms for storing drinks, and parking came at an additional cost. The poolside area was a bit small.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and neat, smelling fresh. Although the first room had some issues with the drawers opening unexpectedly, the staff quickly moved me to a new room. The service was top-notch, very accommodating, and friendly. The location was ideal for exploring the surroundings easily, and it felt safe. The dining experience was great with a good variety of foods. Overall, a good value for money stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with nice rooms that allowed for fresh air and a smooth check-in process to get rooms on the same floor. The rooms were simple yet clean, providing a comfortable stay. The location was excellent for exploring the surrounding area, being close to Sandton City Mall and Nelson Mandela Square.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and clean, although the noise from the front of the hotel disturbed my sleep. On the bright side, the room was equipped with a Nespresso machine, an Apple computer, and a fully stocked refrigerator. The staff was friendly, and the location was convenient, near the mall and attractions like Mandela Square and Sandton City.
The hotel had a strong deodorizer smell in the bathroom, but it was clean, tidy, and functional. Unfortunately, there was no air conditioning for two days, which was a downside.
The hotel had very neat and clean rooms, which were in good condition and well maintained. The service was excellent, with staff going the extra mile to meet guest needs, though there were instances of misinformation. The location was fantastic, right next to the Mandela mall and easily accessible to explore Johannesburg. The dining experience varied, with some delicious options alongside disappointing service. Overall, the facilities were convenient, making the stay pleasant and comfortable.
The hotel rooms are small but comfortable with all amenities, and the service is above expectations. The location is excellent, very close to many facilities. The dining experience is overall good, but with room for improvement in fruit variety. The hotel provides good value for the money.
The hotel is ideally situated, very close to Nelson Mandela Square in a safe area, offering a free shuttle service to and from the Gautrain station. The rooms could benefit from some revamp, though they were clean overall. The service was attentive to all needs and requirements. The dining experience was of superb quality and variety. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay.
The hotel is wonderfully located very close to Nelson Mandela Square in a safe area. The rooms are lovely, separated by doors, offering comfortable space to move around freely. The service went the extra mile to prepare a gluten-free breakfast daily but was slightly slow on room servicing. The dining experience was delicious with friendly staff. Overall, satisfied with the hotel at this price and location.
The hotel's location is excellent, right next to Nelson Mandela Square in the heart of Sandton. The rooms were clean and impressive, but lacking a necessary fridge for longer stays. The staff excelled at customer service, going the extra mile to assist guests. The dining experience offered good variety but could use a bit of improvement. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location facing Mandela Square with all the shops, restaurants, and bars is a real plus. The rooms, though beautiful and comfortable for studying, could benefit from having a bar fridge. While the continuous noise from passing people might be a downside, the manageable room size was a positive experience.
