We enjoyed every moment of our stay at this hotel. The room, service and food were all divine and made for an excellent weekend away. The suites are particularly gorgeous, offering wonderful views of the city and a very spacious lounge (not to mention two lovely en-suite bathrooms with a heavenly porcelain bathtub!). I would recommend it to anyone!

The hotel was clean and very well staffed by helpful and friendly people. The rooms were very spacious and airy. It is an ideal hotel to stay at if you have children who like the excitement of fun fairs as there is an extensive one on site. Our room was very secluded and peaceful. There was the added bonusfor people like me who adore cats, the hotel has an extremely tame and friendly cat who will think nothing of following youinto your room without invitation! (it does not complaim when it is time to throw him out) . For those who are interseted in museums the Museu of aparteit is situated next door to the hotel.

Enjoyed the old fashioned atmosphere of the hotel; the four poster bed, and the balcony...
Could not beat a Johannesburg sunset in this hotel! doors wide open to the balcony, a symphony of birdsong - what seemed like an army of birds! - drifted into the room, with me lying on the bed, sun rays bathing the me, nice cool September breeze. Nothing more I can ask for! It was incredibly relaxing; being there on business, it was quite a bonus to return to such a beautiful unfolding evening and a long day...

We spent 3 nights in this hotel, which was the start of our tour through South Africa. Arriving at about midnight after a delayed arrival of our flight we were quite amazed about the atmosphere of the bustling casino hall which could be watched from the balustrade connecting the hotel lifts and the rooms. Fortunately, once we were in our family suite (with stylish decor), there was no sound or other disturbance from the casino.
The front desk staff of the hotel is very helpful in organising the stay.
The hotel is opposite the Gold Reef City Theme Park, which seems to be interesting but is barely operative during rainy days (bad luck for us); the historic gold mine is definitely worth visiting.
While the hotel is not very close to central Johannesburg it appears to be a very safe option for staying in the Johannesburg area.
