Will definitely come back
Pros:

Excellent, variety food served. I wanted a poached egg white which they could not make unfortunately. Overall, I was given what I requested. The chef should be taught how to make the specific egg.

Cons:

The gowns are not matching the standard of the hotel. They are supposed to be soft and fluffy but they are hard.

Wonderful stay.
Pros:

The hotel was extremely comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was exceptional, bad for the waistline though! What made this hotel exceptional was its staff, without exception from serving staff, reception, cleaners or doormen they were delightful and went over and above what one would expect. The welcome was so warm it gave the hotel a charm of its own, and stopped it being just another smart but soul less hotel. Would definitely return.

Cons:

Nothing

Wonderful experience
Pros:

The stay at the African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel was a wonderful experience.
Starting with a warm welcome of the friendly staff, the beautifully decorated room was another highlight, and the very good breakfast buffet and menu were excellent as well.
I would love to come back here again and can only recommend this place.

We will definitely return!
Pros:

This hotel met all of our expectations. The room was large and spacious. Spotlessly clean. The bed was perfect for a good night's sleep. We stayed 5 nights. Breakfast was included. The staff at the ADUNA restaurant where we had breakfast every morning, were very attentive and professional. The location of this hotel is excellent. Very secure and walkable area, Melrose Arch. Surrounded by top notch restaurants and high end shops. The staff at this hotel are amazing. I can't say enough about them. We will definitely return to this hotel when we return to Johannesburg.

The Only Place to Book When in JoBurg!!
Pros:

This is truly one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. My visit was my very first time in Johannesburg and it definitely will not be my last. From the moment you step into the entrance of African Pride, you are treated like family. The staff, especially Sherpard & Peter, are extremely accommodating, helpful, and genuinely great people. The rooms are exceptional, clean, and very spacious — bonus points from me since I love taking a nice hot bath & this is one of the few reasonably priced hotels that actually has them! The gym is also well attended to & has the basics of what you need to get some daily movement in. The two restaurants on site (Aduna & Sebule) are also top notch with a wide variety of food options depending on your dietary restrictions. Lastly, the location is outstanding — a lot of restaurants, shops, businesses in the area and only a 15-30min drive to a lot of the popular attractions, museums, and excursions. I 100000/10 recommend this hotel — truly one of a kind!

Thoughtful staff, clean environment
Pros:

This was an amazing beginning to our visit to South Africa. The staff are so friendly and attentive, taking care of details we wouldn’t have even thought of. Thoughtfulness from staff at breakfast and the cleanliness of the lobby combined with the wonderful maid service in the rooms made this stay one of the best I’ve ever had. I even learned a little Zulu from the doorman. Huge thanks to all the staff for such a wonderful stay!
