Okay overall.
Pros:

Nice location. The breakfast was very good, and the staff at the restaurant are the best.

Cons:

We had requested an early check-in. The staff at the reception did not give us the impression to care at all. Only, a young lady by the name of Mamello tried to accomodate us.

Wonderful
Pros:

The bus service to and Sandton Mall were such a bonus! For a solo traveler this made my life very easy and safety was not a concern.

Cons:

nothing. Maybe with time, the hotel can consider modernizing the look and feel of the rooms. The feel is quite outdated
