Our second stay at the Palazzo due to needing to be in this area of Joburg. Hotel is very good, friendly staff, nice rooms, lovely (but cold) pool and good service. The hotel is also very near to home decor shops (which is why we need to be in this area). It is in no way african style if this... more

Great rooms and facilities at a cheap price from an european point of view. The staff is extremelly nice and the hotel is just beautiful. more

Expectations for the hotel were big due to Intercontinental brand and pictures I saw. The reality was as good as the brochures, except the rooms which were quite tiny and nothing special.

From check to check out, this hotel is absolutely poor. The hotel itself is nicely designed, spacious rooms (deluxe room which we stayed in) and is aesthetically appealing but has the worst service i have ever experienced in a "5 star" hotel.The room we received was a deluxe room but was smaller than the one we were allocated. When this... more

This is a nice hotel: comfortable; clean; good and pleasant service. Lunch on the terrace was excellent (Caesar Salad and veal) and breakfast was the usual high South African standard.
