This was one of the best properties I've ever visited in all my years of world travel.
Unathi checked me in and was a complete delight. Pete at the bar was wonderful as well. Every team member encountered was lovely and engaging.

Pros:

The staff really make this hotel wonderful. They are so welcoming, friendly and always try and help. From arrival, check in and breakfast service, I cannot remember better service.

Over the top customer service
Pros:

Being a lifetime Platinum member we have stayed at many Marriott properties over the years. The customer service at this Africa Pride hotel was the friendliest, most helpful and accommodating staff of almost any Marriott we have stayed. The safety and security within Melrose Arch is also a bonus and the included breakfast was also top notch.

Friendly safe excellent place to stay
Pros:

Dingaan welcome, bless with his friendly, beautiful smile as we walked in and made sure that I are entire time. Here was a joy. If I could give 10 stars I would.

All of the staff was friendly and helpful. I always felt like I was walking back into my home when we came from being out and about.

Speaking of that, the location here is wonderful as it is a very safe and clean area where you can go to shopping and restaurants galore!

I highly recommend staying here if you’re going to be in the area!
