Gem in vicinity of Melrose Arch ”

Absolute wonderful hotel located a stones throw to the Melrose Arch precinct. A short stroll to the vibrant shopping and eating establishments located in Melrose Arch. The perfect location of the hotel ,for commuting to all areas in Johannesburg . The hotel itself is beyond expectation, and the service is superb. Our interaction with the front desk , and especially with Zanele was very pleasant. She is an asset to this lovely establishment. From my numerous visits to Johannesburg, and stays in various hotels , this is by far the very best

Spent the night for our anniversary and it served best. We arrived to a good reception and such a pretty room. Size of the room is a bit on the smaller side but really cozy and the TV is huuuuge with good WIFI to connect to Netflix and Youtube. We thought there was a mini bar with actual drinks but turns out it was just a fridge so that was a bummer. The breakfast was amazing though. Overall, beautiful stay.
