Perfect place to stay in Johannesburg
Pros:

We had a wonderful time staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Johannesburg.
Everything was perfect: the rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable, the restaurant terrace offered an outstanding view, and the staff were extremely kind and professional.
We have great memories of our short stay at this hotel and would certainly recommend it.

Cons:

Nothing at all!

Excellent
Pros:

Une excellente expérience au Four Seasons, qui nous a permis de terminer nos vacances sur une très belle note.

Un établissement magnifique, avec un service à la hauteur du standing, une équipe attentive, professionnelle et particulièrement à l’écoute de ses clients.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la qualité de l’accueil, les attentions qui nous ont été accordées et surtout le grand professionnalisme de toute l’équipe. Ils ont réellement à cœur de satisfaire leurs clients et cela se ressent.

Une très belle adresse que je recommande sans hésitation. Nous repartons ravis de notre séjour et reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Cons:

Un service un peu lent au restaurant la Flamme

Pros:

Красивый отель и прекрасный вид
Очень милый ресторан
Персонал выше всех похвал

Обязательно сюда стоит вернуться из-за вида и сервиса.

Cons:

Ценник неоправданно завышен, номера просто крошечные. Кровати неудобные.
