Pros:

Sehr gutes und empfehlenswertes "Business Hotel" in Joburg. Hervorzuheben ist das sehr gute Frühstücksbuffet. Die Zimmer sind zT nagelneu renoviert, sauber und komfortabel. Sichere Parkplätze sind gegen geringe Gebühr verfügbar.

Used to be a great hotel and experience, recent renovations caused issues and had to change rooms
Pros:

The breakfast selection and the location was good. Restaurant and bar within the hotel is high end. Staff were friendly and responsive.

Cons:

The room I was given was indicated as an "upgrade". However, the floor that the room was on had recently been renovated. The power saver device in the room was broken, it took an hour to repair on the first night and I had to change rooms on the second night because it stopped working again.

Chill Vibes
Pros:

Was a nice location, and very convenient that its located right by a very nice shopping centre. The room was nice. The bed was nice. Service from room service was good. Our room also had a very nice view. The bar and pool outside was also amazing.

Cons:

The room service food and the breakfast food was very bland. The room service food is very expensive for what you get. I would definitely relook at the food of the hotel. our aircon also did not work in our room.
