“Great Hotel, Sans Warmth”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 15, 2012

I stayed in this hotel for 7 days during my business trip to Johannesburg and was intially exhilarated by the view of it, it has very clean & neat rooms, sandwich counter not a in house restaurant, buffet breakfast but the support staff lack warmth in service, some are sweet but over all they can improve by doing things as simple as smiling ! On one of the days we were standed without water but that was issue with entire Sandton not specific to hotel, and don't miss the small lovely pool at the back of hotel !

“Gets the job done...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

I've stayed at City Lodges around South Africa many a time and with very positive experiences. Morningside is no different. Located on Rivonia is a big plus, as it gives one access to pretty much all of Sandton. The hotel has been refurbished - the dining area and rooms look a lot more lively than they previously did, but the "fitness room" as its called is still the same...perhaps more modern equipment could make a difference?

The staff at the hotel are warm and friendly and actually recognize repeat visitors - so that's a good thing! The rooms are clean, reasonably large and very functional. So if you're not looking for luxury but a place that gets the job done, look no further...

“Good experience when away from home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 19, 2012

I found the total experience good. The welcome was superb, the room was small but clean and functional. The breakfast spread was great although I found it expensive! I had a great experience with Nick in housekeeping when I needed to dry my gym clothes in the hotel tumble drier, He personally hand delivered my dry clothes back to my room! Unfortunately the stay was a little spoilt when the supplies were not replenished in my bathroom on a daily basis - this needs to be an area of training for the hotel. Overall though, I would stay there again!

“Met my expectation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012 via mobile

I stayed at this City Lodge with my wife for 1 night. We drove through to Johannesburg to watch Madame Zingara at Montecasino. We booked online via Bid2Stay and got a really good deal as a last minute booking. The hotel is in an excellent location, one robot down from Grayston and Rivonia, easily accessible from the M1 (Grayston offramp), N1 (Rivonia offramp) and even William Nicol Drive. No GPS is needed if you are from a local tourist. The rooms were recently refurbished with excellent finishings and a generous King Size bed with cosy linen. The only negative about this hotel is that due to its location and popularity it was quite busy and I found the service at breakfast below standard as we waited an irritably long time for coffee and the queues at the buffet uncomfortably too long for my liking. However, this would certainly not stop me from checking in again or recommending the hotel to friends, family or colleagues.
