“A large hotel with great breakfasts and good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

I have stayed here a few times, the hotel is spread out and the furthest rooms are 10 minutes walk from reception with limited cover. This time I was in 208, which is quite near but out of reach of the wireless internet, unless you opened the door, wireless is free in reception but was down for about half the time I was there.

Rooms are large and well equipped, coffee flat screen TV, air con. Breakfast was included and is a magnificent buffet spread.

Room Tip: The hotel is very spread out, the ones furthest away are 10 min+ walk, so unless you like walking as...

“Great location, amazing spa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

Ew Mowana spa is terrific. It wasn't the best massage I've ever had, but the local products did a huge makeover on my skin, and the set up is like have treatment in an oasis.
I've stayed at the Indaba twice, both times with great success. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the location makes for shopping and whatever one may choose to get into at the casino.

The only downside is the food. I found it to be a bit bland and lacking in freshness or creativity.

The rooms in the newer sections are much better than the older ones. The 900 block rooms have French doors and a terrace.

Also, if you love birds, this is the place for you. Somehow it attracts quite a variety.

“Fantastic Value for Money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 18, 2012

We checked out of Indaba yesterday at 4.30am to head back home after 2 days in Gauteng.

I cannot fault this hotel at all. We had a great time!

The room was excellent, modern, new and very spacious.

The facilities were in a very good condition and everything was as it should be.

The best part is that it didn't cost that much. The location is great with lotsa of eating and shopping places nearby.

I highly recommend this establishment and it's not very far from Lanseria airport.

“No hot water”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

The new Mowana Spa is situated at the Indaba HOtel and offers great value for money. We stayed over at the Indaba Hotel after the Spa treatment. We had no hot water in our room, after waiting an hour for maintenance, they disputed our complaint and we checked out without having hot water.
The reception area smells terrible.

Room Tip: Request block 5, as this is closest to the infinity pool. It is private and secluded.
