Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral in Johannesburg. Sehr viele Jugendliche sind dort nachts unterwegs, daher ist eine gewisse Lärmkulisse vorhanden. Es gibt eine bewachte Tiefgarage, in der man beruhigt und kostenfrei das Auto abstellen kann. Die Zimmer sind ein wenig abgewohnt, aber dennoch sauber. Das Frühstück war sehr gut!

Centrally located with very friendly staff

My room was comfortable and reasonably priced, although it was warmer than what I would have preferred. The staff was really friendly and helpful. There was quite a variety of items available in the breakfast buffet and it was very delicious. There was a Hop On Hop Off Tour bus stop right in front of the hotel, which was really convenient for me. My only real complaint was with the beggars who hung around the street block and tended to harass tourists waiting for the bus.

Nice Hotel in the lively heart of Jo'burg

I stayed in this hotel only one night after coming back from my Kruger safari but I wish I could have stayed longer! The rooms are nice and quiet, with WiFi in the room and a big flatscreen-TV. The location is perfect, near Park Station and the Saturday Food Market. If you are looking for noise, bars and restaurants, Braamfontein the right place to be! You just have to be aware of the fact that you are in Johannesburg and you might want to take a taxi/Uber (R 60/30) from the Gautrain Park Station to the hotel, especially at weekends and at night (it is only 1km but not very safe to walk)

Poor experience - significant decline over a year

I visited this hotel last year, had a good experience and looked forward to staying there on my visit this year. It was relatively affordable for me. However, the facilities seem to have taken a nosedive in a year. Internet never seemed to work consistently in the Hotel despite this being one of the points of advertisement. When it did work, it was only in the reception. Likewise, there was a musky smell on the corridors of the hotel.

The hotel was under major renovation and the key card machine was broken, so hotel staff had to escort people to allow them entry to their rooms every time they came in and out. Wifi was inconsistent. The conditions of the stay were frustrating, but front line staff were friendly and supportive.

Horrible experince

Really bed when I got there there was no one but the security guard at reception because the receptionist had gone drinking at the close by night clubs... he eventually got there but couldn't check me in for another two hours, he was so drunk he kept on sending me to a couple of rooms that were not cleaned and one of the rooms looked like it still had guests because there were personal belongings. after the search for the room ended eventually I had to wait for him another 45 minutes to open the garage for the parking area because he was busy attacking my friends physically. when I got to the room it had no towels whatsoever. his name is Lebo
