Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has some really beautiful pools and nice amenities, which I think are highlights, but there are a few things that hold it back. The rooms seemed modern, but I noticed some cleanliness issues that were a bit off-putting. Overall, it's a decent stay if you're not too picky about the little details.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the pool area and conference facilities looked promising, and the central location was a plus, making it easy to get around. Unfortunately, the rooms weren’t fully ready for guests, which was disappointing, and the slow service when requesting assistance could be frustrating. Overall, it’s a place with potential, but it needs some serious improvements to be truly enjoyable.
The hotel was clean and had a spacious feel, which I appreciated. However, I don't think it deserves a 4-star rating. The dining options fell short of my expectations, and I felt a bit rushed during the buffet. While the rooms were well-kept, I wouldn't say the overall experience matched what I hoped for, especially given the area's safety concerns.
I had an enjoyable stay at this hotel as it offered a well-decorated room that met my expectations. However, the noise level was a concern since it wasn't very soundproof, and I could hear people walking by and the plumbing in the room. The location was quite convenient for exploring Johannesburg, though it felt a bit busy and clustered. Overall, it was decent value for money, but there are some areas for improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was quite handy for visiting attractions like the FNB Stadium and Goldreef City, which was a real plus for my trip. The rooms, however, had a noticeable smell of cigarette smoke, which was quite off-putting for the price I paid. While the dining left something to be desired with some oily foods, there were also a few hits. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some aspects that I really enjoyed and others that I wished were better.
