The hotel had beautifully decorated and very cozy rooms but lacked adequate charging stations for mobile devices.

The dining experience was diverse and comprehensive, offering good choices of cereals, yogurt, and fresh fruit. The facilities left some to be desired and needed improvement in cleanliness.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms made great use of the views and were good, but my early check-in request due to a long flight was not available. The service was generally positive, with the staff being friendly and professional, and the location was really good for exploring Sandton. However, there were some issues with additional charges and bookings. The dining was a highlight with exceptional quality, but there were also disappointments compared to previous experiences.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room exceeded my expectations in terms of space and cleanliness, it was a bit disappointing to find it was missing essentials like water, bath soap, and a directory booklet. On the bright side, the service was top-notch with hospitable and kind staff, although lacking knowledge about some facilities. The location was ideal for my visit to a nearby church, but the dining options were limited, especially the fish and vegetable choices. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel overall provided a calm and friendly atmosphere.
