I had booked a night at this hotel before reading the reviews on TA. And then I got scared. It sounded like a hell-hole. But let me assure fellow travellers that its not. Its the equivalent of most Garden Courts in Johannesburg. I booked and paid on line. The staff were friendly and check in was efficient and quick. My... More

Stayed here recently on a business trip and hated every minute of it. The rooms are old and outdated and the hotel itself can do with a complete makeover. The breakfast is weak and the location is dark and dangerous. You never feel safe in this area. The smoking rooms have a stale smell as if they were not aired... More

Arrived here at 11pm and it took reception staff 25 min to check us inn. First they could not find our reservation even though we had print outs of confirmation from online booking, then the printer was not working. Rooms were dated but clean. Breakfast was good.

Well, I am not really sure how to rank this hotel (thus the three star "average" rating). It is so far the only hotel I have ever stayed at in South Africa so I have nothing to compare it to. The front desk office staff was very accommodating and helpful. Some of them went out of their way to help... More

Stayed here for 1 night. I've had good experiences at garden courts before, but this wasn't that. isolated feel, outdated rooms with old fashioned aircon - room service food was terrible...AND they don't offer a port service from the car park across the road so you have to lug your bags yourself.. At breakfast they offer you a coffee to... More

Thank goodness I was only booked here for one night! I've had good experiences at other southern sun and garden courts before, but this wasn't that. Institutional feel, dated 70's rooms with Formica etc urgently needing refurb, poor food, luke-warm shower, horrible lobby,... I could go on, but you get the picture. It would be more acceptable if the price... More

I would not recommend staying there as the hotel is too expensive in terms of what you get for the money. The nice things: a water boiler, tea and coffee and cookies in the room, the breakfast is nice also. And there is an AC/heater in the rooms. Not-nice things: The service is unprofessional. When making the reservation I was... More
