Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had everything you needed for a good stay, conveniently located to other restaurants around. However, it was slightly soured by one staff member. The rooms are small and awkwardly shaped on a diagonal.
The hotel offers spacious and well-furnished rooms, ideal for relaxation, although a bit noisier compared to other locations. The service was friendly and accommodating, yet some maintenance issues were present. The central location provides easy access to various dining options and shopping areas, with a quiet ambiance at night. The dining experience was gourmet, albeit repetitive. Facilities were generally good, making for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were extremely clean and very spacious, offering an excellent array of amenities. However, there was no option for a shower after check-out. The service was top-notch, with a very caring and professional staff. The location was ideal, nestled in the secure and tourist-friendly Melrose Arch area. Dining was a delight, with fantastic options to choose from. Overall, a great experience with minor inconveniences.
The hotel's location in the secure Melrose Arch area is perfect for exploring, and the modern rooms with big windows offer decent comfort. The service is excellent but comes at a higher price. Dining options are varied, with some standout choices but room for improvement. The hotel's facilities are generally sufficient for a pleasant stay.
The hotel had a great view of the pool and courtyard from the second-floor room, but the design lacked a bedside lamp or light switch, making it difficult to navigate in the dark. The rooms were clean with good bedding and towels, offering amenities like a coffee and tea station. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff booking reservations and fulfilling extra requests, but they started knocking early in the morning. The location was small but with good facilities in Johannesburg, quick to reach other shopping centers and offering a great selection of food. The dining options were outstanding, with top-class service, though some found it dry and disappointing. The facilities were well-maintained and pleasant.
