We stayed in a family room for a weekend. Nice hotel - good buffet breakfast. Room was spacious, but not the cleanest. Other than that, all in all a nice hotel

There are 2 hotels, one above the casino and the other is inside the theme park. I stayed at the theme park hotel for 3 weeks. Living inside the theme park was a cool thing, always a festive mood. It was just a bit awkward for me then being alone, walking around the theme park on weekends or holidays. But... More

I stayed here in an executive room for four nights during a conference which was held on site. The room was spacious and wonderfully decorated with all of the facilities you would expect. The place itself is the site of an original gold mine which has been restored or re-created to give an historic atmosphere. The room was quiet but... More

We stayed at the Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel, as I had planned a surprise party for my husband's birthday, and had booked the venue at Gold Reef City. We had booked a number of rooms for family members. The hotel setup was a bit strange, as I was expecting a hotel building. But the reception area is in... More

First off, the staff insisted it was on the N3 highway each of the 5 times we called, even though I kept saying "are you sure it's not the M3?".
