    The beds were very uncomfortable, I had to ask for firmer pillows which they provided but the bed itself was very hard and not what i expected from a 5 star hotel

    Staff were very accommodating and friendly, rooms were clean and well appointed, we had a lovely stay

    Check in staff were uninformed about our group which caused problems with our check out. PR lady responded instantly.

    They give you a Ducky for your bath. Rare to find management with a sense of humour. When I saw that bath after a week in the bush in Zambia, i nearly wept! Quirky decor. Bang on the best location. Food was excellent. I dont think we stay anywhere else in Joburg in the future.. And it is the little things that count. A make up mirror near a window. Much appreciated. Bath that easily takes 2. Proper coffee. Quality iron and ironing board. Crispy linen. Crazy fast room service. Breakfast was bang on. The statue at the bathrooms makes using a public toilet, my pet hate, amusing and intriguing. Oh and Melrose Arch rocks.

    The rain shower was trickling and pressure was poor. Would’ve been better with a shower head instead.

    Great location and trendy looking hotel. Spacious and clean rooms with comfortable sheets.

    There was a fire alarm around 3am on the morning of 17th that woke up all the guests. It was really loud, and we weren't sure if it was a real situation or a false alarm. Some guests proceeded to exit the building whilst others waited outside their rooms. It was all confusing. There was no communication during or after about this incident. Baring this experience, it was an enjoyable stay.

    Room was spacious, there was both a bathtub and shower. Staff was friendly. Location was great, was a short walk to restaurants and shopping mall.

    I love everything about the hotel and the surroundings.

    Easy to get the place, parking safe, the staff at the reception are so friendly and make sure you are comfortable. The rooms are very clean and I was so happy to find it's a wooden floor not carpet. I'll come over and over again. Keep up the good work.

    Very disappointed that as a loyal Prokard member of many years their dining is now excluded. A slap in the face for regular diners there.

    TV is from Noah's Arc, and your gowns are so thick and small that my wife had to help me get out of it. It was fun, I suppose

    I had requested early check-in because of long traveling from Brussels via Heathrow landing in OR Tambo to begin meetings at 9am. When I came to the hotel after 12pm, we could not get to even have one room ready for us to have a good shower and change of clothes so we could attend a braai festival one of our clients have invited us to attend at 3pm in Pretoria. We were 2 hours late as a result because we only got the room around 2pm and were caught up in traffic. I believe they could have provided us with an alternative.

    Great location and pleasant staff at reception, house keeping, meal times and bar.

    The service was great with plenty of staff present. The breakfast selections were the best I have encountered during my visit to South Africa. The hotel room was large and well appointed design. Loved the mix of modern with traditional colors and themes.
