I liked the convenient location next to the mall. We had a great time moving back and forth enjoying the shopping, visiting the sites and swimming in the pool. The best thing about the property are the people who work there. They are helpful and work hard to make your stay pleasant. The wait people in the restaurants are fabulous. I highly recommend this hotel for weekend visits or for conferences.

Excellent Service all round, highly recommended

This hotel has come a long way since covid. We stayed here during covid and again now after 2 years and we were extremely impressed all round. Service is 10/10, so is the food quality and variety. Enjoyed breakfast daily and everyone who works here are pleasant and go out of their way with a smile to ensure your stay is pleasurable and you get what you want. Best location in all of Sandton, simply stroll into Sandton City!
