A surprisingly good stay.Im used to a mini bar of some alcoholic beverage in the room but great!
Pros:

The breakfast was just ok.. A buffet might have been better as an option.

Mixed bag, I like the place, treatment could have been better.
Pros:

The rooms are spacious and well decorated.

The hotel offers a ride to the nearby restaurants.

The food was amazing. Kudos to the chef and team!

Cons:

The check in was unpleasant. I waited a good 15mins before someone came to assist us. Check in was cold and unwelcoming.

Needless to say in the morning, our room didn’t have any hot water - the receptionist then gave us access to a nearby room with a condescending tone only use the bathroom. The shower didn’t drain quick enough!

The passage to go park one’s vehicle is quite narrow.

When we left, we were given a bottle of Olive Oil as a token for the supposed issues.

Best decision we made in Johannesburg.
Pros:

Everything about this hotel was perfect for our short stay in Johannesburg. The hotel itself is beautifully adapted from a historic building with large rooms, high ceilings and comfortable furnishings. The rooms were quiet and the art and wallpaper create a homey and creative space. The best thing about the hotel is the amazing staff - every one is professional and ready to be of service. Nare made an extra effort to help us with last minute bookings for three rooms and to get us oriented to the Rosebank neighborhood. The restaurant is excellent.

Cons:

Everything exceeded our expectations.

Pros:

It was clean good location.and room was spacious and lovely

Cons:

We didn't get to eat the breakfast even though it was included in our price. We order room service the night before and had to send it back. . It was terrible. We were refunded and we were skeptical of having a cooked breakfast. The manager on duty said that we should speak to the shift manager in the morning and arrangements will be made. Unfortunately ,we got a whole lot promises and nothing wa s done.

A really enjoyable experience and very attentive and polite staff. Would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Beautiful historical building well suited to a boutique hotel experience. Location was very central to where we needed to go and transport links to the airport are excellent when using the Guatrain. I would recommend the Gautrain - it is safe, clean and fast all at a very reasonable price.

Cons:

Not much to dislike. Perhaps the surrounding area abutting the property are in need of a good power wash. It didn’t bother us but the hotel does not serve alcohol.
