Hard to say what we liked, much easier to point out what we did not like: the Service was horrable. Not interested helping us E.G. with an already paid not working wlan access. Unfriendly and exhausting. Don't go there. The Service was horrable. Not interested helping us E.G. with an already paid not working wlan access. Unfriendly and exhausting. Don't go there.

It has a lovely atmosphere and the staff was very friendly. We were in room no7 and the wooden toilet seat was so old that the paint was peeling off and I could see the wood. There were no bathroom ropes, the shower did not have a soap holder, towels were never replaced and there was no extra blanket (the area is freezing cold in the early hours).

We were woken rudely at 720am to give us fresh towels as the previous day the towels had not dried. However when we tried to contact what is suppose to be a 24hr reception the night before for towels there was no reply. The breakfast was terrible and you couldn't even have a decent cup of coffee as it tasted like mud.

I liked the fact that it was not far from town. I didn't like the attitude of the staff and their service. I had to wait on the gate for too long for them to open, everyday.

Rooms are advertised as having king size beds - they are in fat two 3/4 beds pushed together. Very uncomfortable. My confirmation also confirmed the room having a bath and shower. The room we received only had a shower.

Surprisingly and shockingly excellent value for money. The facilities are amazing and the staff more than polite and accommodating in absolutely every way. I am booking in every year for the rest of my life. If u don't stay here you will never know a fantastic holiday. My compliments to the owners of the establishment and especially to the staff. Could they move the beach nearer?

Price and location were both excellent. The particular room I stayed in could be described as 'old fashioned'. The (double) bed was very comfortable,; the room had a Tv and a desk and a private bathroom, also coffee facilities. There was a very large built-in wardrobe/chest-of- drawers/cupboard, but only two coat-hangers. Outdoors there was a beautiful pool and a shaded lounge area, plenty of car-parking (shaded). All entry to the property, whether on foot or by car, was through a reception- controlled electric gate There was a comprehensive range of options for breakfast whether 'full' or 'continental', but the choice of cereals and fruit and fruit-juices was limited. Located on the fringes of one of the most expensive areas of Sandton it was conveniently placed for reaching Sandton City, Rosebank and Hyde Park shopping malls by car (all were within a mile or two). The hotel needs a better handyman, to fix sundry items like picture hooks, curtain holders and shower heads.

The location/parking/grounds are very nice. Kitchenette with Fridge & Microwave always useful in a room and aircon is also appreciated. No major complaints but sad to see that a once very luxury guesthouse is now showing signs of being run down, and all the small nice touches throughout the place & in the rooms do not feature anymore.

This place is terrible! The staff are rude & unhelpful. Breakfast was included in the room rate but we could not get it because of a church service being held in the dining area (which woke us up very early with their loud music) and none of the staff bothered to tell the guests about this the day before. When approached, the receptionist was cold and couldn't answer us about the situation. Management was not available at the establishment to help. We have never been treated so badly at any hotel/B&B...definitely will never return!

It is a homely Guest House with very down to earth staff. Adrian. However, my greatest disappointment was that we arrived Jorburg at midnight and there was no transport from the hotel waiting for us. We had to risk and take a strange taxi amidst all our fears. On two mornings we had to eat dry bread at breakfast as we were informed that tghe supplier did not supply the hotel. I have booked thru booking.com on holiday to Dubai, Istanbul and the hotels I stayed in were wonderful as they offered what they promised. Villa Vittoria had better know that 1st impressions are lasting impressions. Let them learn to offer what they promise and not otherwise. They will lose good customers. Regards, Adrian

A terrible and run down accomodation. The paint was peeling off everywhere, mould all over the place and a bad stench. Not to mention the absolutely worn out carpets and upholstery.
