We are usualy looking for an affordable luxury hotel to make our stay special when visiting Gauteng and stayed at the hotel for two nights. It's a nice small hotel with wonderful quirky decor, but still modern. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It's also located near Rosebank and major shopping destinations and walking distance from the Rosebank Gautrain... More

We stayed at this hotel for a work conference and the venue was a superb location for convenience and catered to all the conference needs, also the staff were extremely courteous and helpful.They were also accomodating to allow for teh late evening "socialising" which ran till the early hours of the morning.Overall a superb smallish, intimate break away venue.

Special design, very relaxed, calm, safe, close to many interesting sites, highly recommended. The only thing, call SA cabs instead of the ones that the hotel uses as the rates are much better.

The hotel really is beautiful with a very distinct homely character. You can tell that a lot of love has been put into the design. It definitely has a great sense of home. The owners are incredibly friendly, passionate about their work and well being of the hotels guests. A very distinct experience, plus beautiful woman work there....
