Great stay and SPA @ the Cullinan
Pros:

I liked how central and well maintained the Hotel is. Their staff is quite friendly and the beds really comfy. Bathroom was well equiped and the shower fantastic! The Hotel was super full due to soccer and rugby being hosted in the city and a lot of teams staying in the Hitel, but we never heard any noise - so I guess the rooms are quite soundproof. Breakfast and dinnet were very good as well the Hotel Spa. Loved the weekend stay there!

Cons:

We were 3 adults staying in a double room, but they only provided for two all the time. We had to phone reception about 10 times all together to ask for extra towels, water, coffee, mug and glass. They supplied the extras on the first night, then took everything away the next morning and from there on we had to ask for the same thing over and over and over. This was the only annoying part of our otherwise wonderful weekend.

An absolutely superb stay!
Pros:

Absolutely everything was spectacular. The staff, service excellence, warmth and professionalism was amazing. Everyone was super attentive and added beautiful touches for my birthday celebration this week. The food was beautiful and drinks at Stella. I cannot over emphasise what an amazing hotel this is, because each staff member goes over and beyond the call of duty. Hester, Mark, Shaun - just to mention a few were exceptional but every team member, just excellent. The spa treatments at Mangwanani were beautiful. My family truly felt at home and had an amazing time

Cons:

There is no feedback here as everything was spectacular!
