It was a lovely stay
Pros:

I really loved the food, it was absolutely delicious, fresh and well prepared. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. The service was excellent and the warm atmosphere made the experience even more enjoyable.

Cons:

The bathroom towels are quite worn out and need to be replaced. The threads were coming out around the edges of all the towels, making them look old and poorly maintained. I would recommend replacing them with new, good-quality towels to improve the overall experience.

Despite these issues, we had a very enjoyable experience. The setting was beautiful, the food was gr
Pros:

Sunday morning the room phones were not working, so I eventually had to leave the room to arrange breakfast in bed.

Cons:

Cleanliness was not at the standard I expected from the property. I noticed cobwebs around the windows, some floors did not appear properly cleaned, and the guest toilets felt more like public mall facilities than hotel restrooms. I also noticed members of the housekeeping team sitting together chatting in a corner, which stood out given some of the cleanliness issues.Service responsiveness could also improve. We waited approximately an hour for an iron despite following up

Pros:

Like the overall concept and look but very dated.

Cons:

Dated, no good lighting in the bathroom or anywhere to do make up. Noisy. There was a party going on and although I was told it would be over by 10 pm ish at 1130 pm it was still going in full swing. Nobody answering reception desk so had to get out of bed and cover my pyjamas to complain. Finally around 0030 it became quiet but then at 6 am noises start

Disappointing Property
Pros:

Location is good if you want to have easy access to highway, be central to get to Sandton or Centurion. Restaurant are close, less than 1 km and Mall of Africa is a 5 min drive. The staff are extremely helpful and aim to please.

Cons:

The environment is cold, not well maintained, and definitely requires a clean up. The room decor is dark adding to a lack of coziness. Air conditioning barely works, curtains do not close properly letting light in early in the morning. Room corridor is noisy from around 6 am due to poor sound dampening in the passage.
