Excellent Stay in Johannesburg
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It offers excellent value for money, with modern and comfortable rooms, a very clean environment, and friendly, professional staff.

The breakfast was varied and of good quality, and the overall service was efficient throughout our stay. The location is also convenient, making it a great option whether you’re staying for business or as a stop before or after a flight.

Overall, it exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely stay here again.

Worth it! Great hotel
Pros:

Great location and atmosphere. Helpful staff and large rooms. Only thing that anoid me a bit was that we could hear the noisy guest in the room next to ours. Did not impact on our experience, so no problem.

Ah, also, best breakfast we had in south africa

Wonderful comfortable hotel in Cape Town
Pros:

Wonderful location, beautiful hotel, gracious staff and welcoming atmosphere at this Marriott hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable and ours looked out over Table Mountain while others faced the water. Their dining room has a good wine list and menu, although African game was not on it when we were there. The hotel runs a shuttle to the V&A Waterfront's numerous diversions. From check-in to check-out five days later we were greeted with smiles by everyone who worked there. We give them 5+ stars and highly recommend them
