Good
Pros:

The staff were very helpful and kind. The location, close to the train station and bus stop. Wonderful place if you are looking for a calm and homie kind of environment…. Stuff can literally get close… the line between helping and being a bit invasive can be thin. Otherwise is perfect.

Cons:

When I was leaving, they asked if I took the hairdryer… that was…… odd. The hair dryer was in a drawer. I was expecting them to apologize.

The location made up for everything
Pros:

The Location is great.

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.
