Categories

Cleanliness
6
Mixed signals: several guests praised cleanliness, but there are multiple serious negatives (dirty couch, reports of poor hygiene and a cockroach in breakfast, tired linens) that lower this score.
Service
9
Generally strong: many reviews highlight friendly, helpful and ‘amazing’ staff and smooth check-in/out; isolated reports of very poor customer service and slow WhatsApp responses slightly temper this.
Location
9.2
Consistently praised: central Sandton location, close to restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and malls; frequently noted as a major positive.
Room Quality
8.7
Mostly positive: many guests mention modern, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and good layouts; a few complaints about odd TV placement, small shower/box and inconsistent room condition.
Amenities
7.5
Mixed/limited: breakfast and basic amenities are often fine, but issues include no phone in room (WhatsApp reliance), tag/key problems, and some guests noting the absence of a rooftop bar.
Value for Money
8.8
Perceived as good value by several guests; positive comments about price-to-quality and repeat-stay intent support a rating above the target.
Food and Beverage
7
Mixed: some guests praised the breakfast as ‘super’ or adequate, while at least one severe hygiene incident (cockroach in yogurt) and inconsistent breakfast experiences reduce the score.
Overall Experience
9.4
Leaning positive overall: many guests describe an amazing stay and intend to return; notable negative outliers (very poor service or hygiene incidents) exist but the majority sentiment is favorable.

What I didn’t like is that the room 1004 is so close to the reception area and the noise from the guys downstairs especially in the morning definitely not my thing black brick 2 has much needed quietness and my tag kept on locking me out I constantly had to have it unlocked

É maravilhoso, você vai se surpreender!
Pros:

Quando abri a porta do quarto, não acreditei: que incrível! Decoração estupenda, amplo espaço, sala integrada, sacada, uma cozinha ótima, banheiro amplo e moderno. Cama macia e confortável, qualidade da roupa de cama e banho maravilhosa. Gostei de absolutamente tudo neste hotel: o staff simpático, pude deixar as bagagens para pegar na volta do passeio, muito bem localizado, lindo por dentro e por fora. Nota 10!

Cons:

Mesmo que eu tente, não consigo encontrar nada para falar mal deste hotel, minha experiência lá foi maravilhosa.

Comfortable stay
Pros:

All was good

Cons:

I am not sure why but it wasn't easy reaching your buildings entrance.
My room's TV was in an odd place, kind of around a corner. I couldn't watch TV in bed.

Pessima … a barata foi a cereja do bolo.
Pros:

Nada

Cons:

Só havia uma toalha de banho no quarto e o aspecto era sujo;
O boxe é minúsculo
Café da manhã tinha uma barata no yogurte caminhando. Chamei os funcionários discretamente e sai do hotel , pois colocou uma dúvida em relação a higiene e manipulação da comida.

Excellent Stay in Sandton
Pros:

I had a great stay at BlackBrick Sandton One. The location is excellent, in the heart of Sandton and close to restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, and shopping malls. The room was modern, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, and the property offered great value for money. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Johannesburg.

Cons:

The only minor issues were that there is no phone in the room to contact reception. Guests have to communicate via WhatsApp, and sometimes messages are not seen promptly, which meant I had to go down to reception for assistance. Also, on the second day of my stay, complimentary bottled water was not replenished in the room. These are small details, but improving them would make an already great stay even better.
