The room was homely and the reception lady made our stay accommodative.
South AfricaI liked the rooms, the setup, the restaurant, the location of the hotel is so nice and quiet. The staff was so nice and friendly to me and my boyfriend. We never struggled with anything.
South AfricaYou know it’s a good stay when you don’t need an upgrade to feel special. We booked two nights but ended up there 5 nights. It’s a stone throw away from Sandton Mall, our room was full of light, had a beautiful view and was spotless. The housekeeping staff get 5 star - hospitable and attentive to detail. The restaurant was beautiful and the breakfast indulgent.
ZambiaThe location is superb. It's a block away from the mall attached to the Mandela square therefore you can walk at least during the day. The view to the Sandton City is fantastic.

MozambiqueI like the atmosphere, receptionist were friendly.
South AfricaThe room was spacious clean and comfortable bed. With good ablation facilities. A smart TV made it a whole package. The view was also nice, every night I was enticed by people playing tennis. The staff are absolutely fabulous! From front desk to cleaners, bar, restaurant are all amazing, smiling and always helpful. They compensate for the crazy price. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family, not to mention colleagues.
