Second Review”
I wrote a very good review for this place a few days ago. My second visit to this hotel was less pleasant. The place is still nice enough but our check-in was rough. The woman who checked us in was very unpleasant and the hotel had lost our reservation. We waited about 15 minutes and they eventually “found” it after reviewing our confirmation emails showing we had already paid. Once we were checked in after a long day of traveling the woman handed us our key with no instructions and no apology for losing our pre-paid reservation. Her rudeness disrupted our whole stay with a feeling of being unwelcome.

Okay”
Lovely rooms! Location is nice. Close to Sandton mall, walkable. That was why I chose the place anyway. Cons - Breakfast is just there, very bland. Ugh! The Staff, only Sammy, the concierge guy was friendly and nice. I had already booked the hotel before reading reviews, most of the bad reviews I read were about the staff and had nothing to do with the hotel facilities. I arrived at the hotel and I wasn't disappointed. The lady I met at the reception was just outright rude and uncaring. I greeted her and I barely heard a reply, she was just chewing gum. The staff at the restaurant too were always just staring, no smiles whatever. I am just here wondering if it's a Jo'burg thing. I will only recommend this hotel because of location and nothing else. I don't feel very welcome there.

Absolutely Amazing Stay”
I cannot say enough good things about this place. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are well furnished and clean. The appliances, gym and bar are all great. They even offer free laundry and dishwashing service should you want to cook a lot. For the price and location this is a great place to stay. About 12 min walk to Gautrain, and 5 min walk to Sandton City Mall.

Potentially Superb, struggling consistency”
Arrived 27 Oct morning and luckily able to get room to rest before meetings. But... the hotel had works being done to change its name and signs which meant lots of drilling in the afternoon, coincidentally in the wall of the room allocated. Complained, it stopped and we managed to get some rest before meetings. 27 Oct around 11pm drilling started again, staff were unaware there were contractors there and thought we were hearing the noise of the construction site across the street, so took photos and videos. Every day was some little issue that arose that was just irritating such as being locked out of room, door being left open by housekeeping when returning late at night raising security concerns then noise of other guests and staff "ALL" night on our last night Friday 31st. Manager offered some compensation for some of the inconvenience but even that wasn't delivered until we had to show the email to reception staff to prove the offer, no follow through. They offered to comp our last night stay but we declined trying to be nice about the few inconveniences but then when departing the reception informed that our cash deposit would be sent by EFT to us or credited to a credit card. We gave cash, we get cash back, its that simple and to trust a hotel with no international backing with our cash deposit wasn't going to happen. Overall we would say its a good hotel but needs tightening up in management and staff performance to be consistent. Local staff are just not up to handling issues well or following up with them.

Lovely place”
Great place to stay, good location, everything is new, excellent managers, front office staff and restaurant staff. One small point on the house keepers, they came into the room without knocking on more than one occasion however they did a good job cleaning the room. All in all fantastic place will definitely stay there again! Highly recommend!

Good choice”
It a fairly new and clean hotel with all basic amenities and comfortable room size. Just 3-4mins walking distance to a massive mall incase you want to grab a quick meal or look around. Hotel staff was very helpful and good at goving tips of places to visit. I didnt have meals there or use gum/pool but gym seemed not bad. Would definitely r commend!

The stay was pleasant. We arrived early in the morning and the staff gave us the room right away with a warm welcome. 10 min walk from the Gautrain station and it runs a shuttle every 30 mins. Good breakfast.

Very nice hotel up in the business district. They let us check in early which was extremely helpful”
The pool is a little small and right beside the bar so a little too public for me to me walking around in a bathing suit.
