“Relaxing stat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012 via mobile

On a recent business trip to JOBURG I decided to rent an apartment rather than stay in the normal hotels and selected a Penthouse apartment at Hydro. The apartment was superbly furnished and spotlessly clean. The location is ideal and close to the Benmore Mall if you've decided on self catering. The block is a mixture of privately owned and serviced apartments so it feels like a home. Laundry and Internet is included in the rate. Will definitely stay here again.

“Ideally situated, good views”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012

My husband and I recently spent a night in the one bedroom penthouse suite.it is close to all amenities. The living area is well appointed and the kitchen is fully equipped with all mod cons. Unfortunately the bedroom is a disappointment, the aircon was noisy and didn't switch off, the sliding door was unable to be closed fully so the wind howled the entire night.
The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were too hard. The bathroom is open plan.
The front door is frosted glass and the light front the corridor shines through so the apartment is not fully blacked out.
There is no one at the front desk if you need to check out before office hours.

“Loved this place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 23, 2012

Stayed here last month for a week as I was in Jo'burg for work, I'd previously stayed at the Westpoint Apartments across the road and was not prepared to go back, and a girlfriend had recommended Hydro. So glad I took her suggestion! I turned up without any notice, and they were able to put me into a 2-bed apartment the next day on the same rate as a 1-bed, thanks!

The 2-bed apartment was lovely - clean, spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen incl washing machine and dryer, plenty of cooking utensils which I appreciated given I like to cook. The bed was very comfortable, enjoyed the deep bath in the ensuite and taking my coffee on the balcony each morning. Parking downstairs is free and abundant and supervised by Security, they give you a pass key to the entrance when you check-in so once you've got that it's hassle-free. A maid comes in and cleans on a daily basis, and even did the ironing for me if I left out some bucks. there's a small shopping centre 5 mins walk away, wtih a couple of supermarkets to choose from, as well as a few cafes and restaurants, so plenty of local choice. Also close to Mandela Square where there are piles of cafes, huge shopping centre open 7 days a week etc etc.Small gym downstairs has a coupla machines and weights, and didn't appear to be busy. The apartment was also nice and quiet, very little noise from the busy road, and zero noise from other apartments.

All in all, would definitely recommend this as a great stay in Jo'burg.

“Luxurious Apartments in Sandton”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 8, 2012

As a businessman, when I travel I want my accommodation to be sophisticated and convenient, which is exactly how I would describe Hydro. My room was spacious and had all the modern facilities I needed, including DSTV and a phone. I also had a private lift to my apartment which made a big difference. I made full use of the gym facilities and the hotel’s central location made getting to my conferences easy and stress-free.

“Excellent location and value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

We stayed one night in the two bedroom apt. The apartment was clean and well appointed. The staff was friendly. Very close to Mandela Square for goods hopping and eating options. I would recommend this apt to other families.
