The hotel is really good one to stay in while you are in Johannesburg. It's attached to the largest shopping center in the city that have a variety of everything you can imagine. Also it's location, that is in Mandella Square make it so accessible and you will have a variety of restaurant to enjoy for dinner. Two things that... More

It's so old and tired and they running it into the ground. The door frame was coming off the granite in the bath room was broken. The colour of the titles and paint is yellowing with age. The one phone did not work. Some of the rooms directly look at the car park, look through the honest pictures a previous... More

The hotel is the perfect location for business, a very warming welcome. Its outside appearance does not give it justice but the interior is elegantly and expensively designed with exquisite water features and the gold colour scheme reflected in the warm lighting. Adequate business centre with very helpful staff.

Having breakfast and dinner is easy: just walk inside the mall and you find everything you need. This is safe and simple. The hotel rooms are... More

A v. warm welcome to be had from staff in this fairly monstrous concrete edifice. Yes, it's showing its age due to changes in architectural taste, but the material comforts are good. Spacious rooms, good bed, separate shower and bath, nice toiletries. Free Wifi that actually works. Efficient room service and good food. Also super open air terrace / pool... More

Good location, an easy walk to Mandela Square. Helpful and friendly staff. Good selection in the cold buffet for breakfast Anything hot has to be ordered from the menu. Air conditioning was reasonably quiet and efficient. The bed wasn't as comfortable as I'd have liked, two singles dragged together and although it had a single large mattress you could still... More

Stayed here a number of times in 2010 and 2011 when working as a flight attendant. It's a nice hotel with an excellent outdoor bar/sitting area on a large terrace. Great place to watch the setting Sun. Nice pool and spa. Prices aren't too bad...the Canadian dollar goes further in Sth Africa. Attention to detail fairly good, though occasionally I... More

This is a hotel within a shopping mall but you won't realize until you venture outside. To access the mall, you alight at 6th floor and your world opens up. The rooms are spacious and service is excellent. It's a hotel I can visit again and agaim.

The queen size beds were two doubles put together. It was very uncomfortable and I'd rather have two smaller beds. The rooms are a very nice size, with big safe, small refrigerator and nice bathroom. Nice outdoor patio with good vibe at nice. The drawback: slowest bar/food service ever. Even when there were more staff than patrons breakfast took forever!... More
