Alan Australia

i really like the hotel great value safe location. Room wasnt ready in arrival. in an hour they had sorted it

Alex United Kingdom

Fantastic view of the park and parliment from our Bedroom window. The secure parking under the hotel is chargable but worth it as the area around the hotel was not safe at night. They upgrade our room as it was our wedding anniversary. We ate in the hotel one night, the food was good and reasonably priced.

Andrew United Kingdom

The rooms are clean, wifi works well. The staff is very friendly

Thandeka South Africa

Helpful, friendly staff. Very nice, spacious room. Plenty of good toiletries, great bar for happy hour, good meals in restaurant. Great start to the holiday! Good breakfast: fruit, yogurt, juice, hot and cold buffet, pastries, toast, tea or coffee. Staff arranged private minibus tour to Soweto area: Surprise gift of gateau for evening dessert for our belated 50th wedding anniversary holiday! Convenient for site-seeing of historic locations. Lovely garden, pool and environment. Convenient for onward car travel to Kruger.

Paul United Kingdom

Excellent value for money . Felt very safe on the property, well positioned for golf and cricket with the wanderer’s sports club available a short, safe , walk away . Great for car parking too .

Anthony United Kingdom

I liked my room, it was like a suite. I liked the sofa, where we could relax watching TV. The Dinner meal was great, well prepared, and delicious to eat. The hospitality of the waitress was great. It was hospitable to be in that environment, and we wished it was a longer stay.
