Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Sandton Mall and offers very supportive staff, though the room size is smaller than expected. The dining options are somewhat limited, but the service is top-notch.
The hotel rooms were much smaller than those in similar price range at neighboring hotels, but they were really big and proper for working. The staff was good, friendly, and helpful after a short briefing. Overall, a mixed experience.
The hotel offers spacious and modern rooms, but cleanliness can be an issue with long hairs found in both the bathroom and bedroom. The corridors are well-maintained. The service is efficient and discreet, although some staff members could be more kind. The strategic location near Mandela Square and Sandton City, with convenient shuttle services, provides easy access to attractions. The dining experience offers a huge spread but comes at a high price. Overall, the hotel is a good choice for its convenience and well-positioned location.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very clean, but the view wasn't the best. The service was outstanding, but the dining options were just okay. The location was spot on for my needs but lacked some attractions nearby.
The hotel had a bright fridge that 'clicks' on and off throughout the night, which was very disruptive. Additionally, it was next to a 24-hour construction site, not made up until late afternoon. However, the service was accommodating and friendly.
The hotel is strategically located just 10 minutes walking distance from Mandela Square and Sandton City, making it extremely convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are comfortable and clean, although they could use a slight upgrade. The staff is welcoming and went out of their way to assist us. However, the dining options were somewhat limited for vegetarians. Overall, a value-for-money stay with some small areas for improvement.
