7.6/10

The hotel is conveniently located in the Sandton area, offering easy access to most parts of Johannesburg. The rooms don't have a bath tab, which could be a downside for those seeking relaxation after a long day, but overall, the weekend special rewards program provides some value. The lack of interlinking doors made the rooms feel a bit stuffy at times.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms could use bath tabs for added convenience and relaxation, but the limited self-catering features are handy. The absence of interlinking doors made the room feel stuffy.

Service

9.0

The service was excellent with friendly and competent staff, from the Security guard to the male receptionist, always ready to assist. The room service, housekeeping, and paid airport shuttle were all efficient.

Location

8.0

The location in the Sandton area offers great convenience for business engagements at universities and other places in Johannesburg. However, traffic congestion in the mornings can delay breakfast plans slightly.

Dining

6.0

The dining options could be improved with more inspiring choices including vegetarian and vegan dishes. Despite several options, the vegetarian selection was not excellent and service could be slow at times.

Facilities

8.0

The facilities are well-maintained, offering everything you need for a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience could be enhanced with more variety and prompt service.
