So easy to get to and to travel to the airport and Emperor's Palace. Facilities including the restaurant and bar were nice. Room was tidy but too warm, no way of controlling the temperature (no air con and couldn’t open windows). Comfy bed though and TV functioned well

Hotel was nice. Starting to show its age a bit. Beds were nice. Check in was very slow, lots of pple standing around and hotel staff was not helping to get folks checked in. Breakfast was great and the bar was nice and well stocked.

Safe didn't work, called reception 4 times requesting assistance, after 15 minutes no one came, so had to take all my sensitive items out with me which is not safe in JHB. Room smelled. Place needs a serious refresh. Wouldn't recommend or stay there again.

Very good hotel for overnight stay; However, there is not enough staff at check-in. Arriving on the shuttle creates an influx of guests to check-in, which they can't cope with.

Should have read the reviews
How this property has an 8.6 rating is beyond me. Reception staff need to check their attitude and no choice of pillows. Only flat feather ones which was extremely disappointing considering we are vegetarian and completely against animal cruelty
