Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel was comfortable and clean with a nice view, located in a quiet area suitable for our needs. The rooms are generally small but well-appointed. The service was exceptionally attentive and helpful, making it the best part of my stay. The location is ideal for my purposes, and the dining options were fresh with a good variety. Overall, a great value for money experience.
The hotel is conveniently located near the Mall of Africa, making it a perfect spot for my needs. The rooms were clean and quiet despite being close to the highway, featuring a lovely view of the pool and a mini Juliet balcony. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, even when I mistakenly booked a smoking room.
My stay at this hotel was lovely overall. The rooms were comfortable, well-appointed, and very clean, with an excellent walk-in shower. The service provided by the staff was exceptionally attentive and helpful, which truly enhanced my experience. The location was beautiful and perfect for my needs. However, I did experience some issues with the room key cards which was a bit frustrating. The dining was really good, though a little expensive. Overall, a great spot to consider for your stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of pleasant and not-so-great experiences. The room, while comfortable for an extended stay, lacked a bar fridge, and the quiet location was somewhat marred by noise from the parking lot. The service was exceptional, although inconsistent at times, and the location was convenient for my needs, being near the Mall of Africa. The dining options were satisfying but not well-aligned with the room rate.
The hotel rooms were tidy and neat, suitable for our needs, although lacking a fridge. We appreciated the friendly and accommodating service, but there were moments of attitude and arrogance. The location was excellent, close to the Mall of Africa, offering convenience for shopping. The dining experience had delicious food variety but was overpriced, leading us to opt for meals outside the hotel.
