Home Suite Hotels Rosebank features accommodation set in Rosebank and situated less than 1 km from Rosebank Gautrain station, Home Suite Hotels Bristol Rosebank offers accommodation for any discerning guest travelling for either business or leisure.

This design-hotel was artsy, elegant, comfortable, with nice views and in a great location! (It was even featured in the New York Times). If you’re planning to stay in your hotel room for a good amount of time, then I really can’t recommend it enough. It was made with such good taste that you can hardly find a better hotel anywhere, and the food they offer is healthy and delicious. I simply loved it and will be going back!

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.

I absolutely love the mini self kitchen they provided, electric kettle and a microwave which most properties don't have.
