Beautiful property in a prime and safe location close to many dining options. I didn't want to leave my beautiful suite. Savon has excellent service overall. Their spa is an experience worth staying at this property for. Amazing hospitality by all the staff we encountered, from the GM to the butler. They even left us treats for our Anniversary celebrations with delicious chocolate-covered strawberries. We just missed their 25th anniversary celebrations the next day, but the preparations looked grand. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

Amazing hotel and staff; beautiful throughout - incredibly well designed and maintained. Staff is very attentive and responsive. Special thanks to Kea Sapanya. Also a call out to “Sticks” at Quno - for providing a Michelin star dining experience on Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay in our villa.

Decline of Saxon Hotel

breakfast service was VERY poor. Orange juice was not fresh - asked for ginger to be added. Did not happen. Cappuccino was cold. Eggs Benedict took 50 minutes to arrive, was cold and not on ciabatta as requested. Waitresses had no idea how to set the table and remove plates before they bring the next course. a real bad experience. was not like this a few years ago.

Bel hôtel pour visiter Joburg

Bel hôtel qui se trouve dans un quartier résidentiel très chic. La chambre est très spacieuse et confortable avec plusieurs rangements, commodités… Le service est impeccable. La restauration est de très grande qualité. Nous sommes passés par l’hôtel pour l’organisation des visites, réservations… tout s’est très bien passé. Service personnalisé. Seul inconvénient: la chambre est sombre à cause de la végétation et il fallait allumer la lumière la journée.

SUPERB EXPERIENCE!

We asked to be picked up at the airport and they were waiting for us when we arrived! The ride and the chauffeur were perfect. We were greated by the manager at our arrival who introduced is to our concierge Lyndsey and she attended to all our needs perfectly. We asked for late checkout the next day since our flight was at 8:00 PM and they let us have the room till 3:00 PM graciously! The room was exceptional, the service and facilities superb. We were there on our last trip to JNB and we will be back on our next one!
