    • Good location
    • My room was quiet and clean.
    • Helpful staff. Very good breakfastPool

    Cons -

    • Need more lights in room. Too dark, bathroom needs to be lit.
    • As soon as the G20 came into town I was treated like a second class guest. I asked to have lunch in the dining room but was told that there was no room because of a function, but it only started an hour and a half after I asked for a table and they allowed a table of four to sit in the dining room during that time and they were not part of the function. I was relegated to a small area in the corner with no air conditioning. I was recovering from surgery which the whole staff were made aware off. I did speak to the manager of the dining area and he apologized and said that things would be better tomorrow. He also offered me some lunch to take up to my room, but I said that I did not want that, I just wanted to be treated kindly from the get go.

    I liked that the property just as it was advertised online. My room was clean, ready upon arrival and the staff at the front desk was amazing. Special thank you to Thando he was so pleasant and professional. The hotel is located close by the Melrose Mall so that was a plus for me.

    8ibrahimaPosted on: 9-8-2025

    Amazing location near by Melrose and Sandton with all required facilities.

    All necessary systems but nothing related to energy saving or connected room capabilities. Door needs a bit of maintenance.

    9KhangalePosted on: 8-11-2025

    The room service was bad because one person was doing everything so he was impatient and it sounded like he was rude with us and the food took longer

    7ReithabetsePosted on: 7-29-2025

    The location is nice & convenient, the staff is friendly

    The buffet food is horrible, not worth the money - just go to melrose arch for food.A tenant on floor 2 was unbearable

    10SoniaPosted on: 6-16-2025

    The location was perfect. Close to many restaurants and shops. Within walking distant. Staff exceptional.

    9PatriciaPosted on: 6-16-2025

    8OleratoPosted on: 4-18-2025

    Excellent location and friendly staff. Proximity to Melrose Arch was a plus. A very beautiful running trail close by

    The bed was not the best

    6SithembilePosted on: 4-11-2025

    Very Small room, and limited utensils…glasses, condiments, lotions…

    10elisaPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Very well located. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Truly enjoyed my stay. Breakfast was great as well. The pool is really small that’s the only thing I did not enjoy.

    8AbbeyPosted on: 4-7-2025

    We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was well maintained and we appreciated the space. We are not happy about 1. The cleaning of the room was late especially on Saturday when we had to be outside until they finished cleaning2. The attitude of staff at reception regarding the item we left behind after checking out yesterday(6/4/2025), when we came back to enquire. We told by the staff that your policy is that you do not call the client if the client does not come back and claim. That in my view is terrible customer service. A WhatsApp message could do. This is spoiling everything.Becuase of this I am not even sure that I will return and even stay at any of your places anywhere else.

    8MphiePosted on: 3-25-2025

    The room was great and the restaurant was great

    The room door was very difficult to open. Every day opening the door was a struggle even after reporting the door on day 1 it wasnt fixed

    9JjPosted on: 3-17-2025

    Small room and shower, but good for one night. Excellent breakfast. Sufficient safe parking for your car.

    Bigger shower.

    9FemiPosted on: 3-1-2025

    The decorum, understanding, service and respect of the staff

    Check out at 10am is too early, you barely have woken up, especially where check in is so late at 2 or 3pm
