Unfortunately, I did not get to fully experience this hotel as I flew in to Johannesburg late in the evening and flew out early the next day; however, the hotel room was great: clean, large and they thought of everything including, fully stocked bar fridge, in room movies, and DVD. The grounds looked impressive and relaxing from what I saw... More

This hotel is in a great safe location, lots of cafes and restaurants in short walking distance as well as a decent size supermarket. From the time of check-in staff were very friendly and attentive.

I booked this hotel for my girlfriends 30th birthday. We had an amazing stay, although the hotel forgot to make up the room as requested (with flowers and cake) they made it up the day after by providing complimentary champagne and birthday cake. The staff are unbelievably friendly and accommodating. The hotel itself is a great location and designed very... More
