Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a good stopover with very clean and beautiful rooms, although quite petite. The service is friendly and helpful. The location is central with a variety of dishes at the restaurant, but surrounded by a run-down area. The dining offers variety, but not for vegetarians. Good value for a short stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean but old-looking and the air conditioner barely worked. The bathroom was small and outdated, which was a bit disappointing. However, the service was outstanding, with the staff arranging transport and being efficient with payment processing. The location was ideal for accessing transportation hubs, but the noise from outside was constant. The dining options were varied but seemed more like a quick fast-food stop rather than a proper restaurant. The hotel facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were incredibly clean and smelled nice, although it would have been convenient to have a bar fridge. The staff was very helpful and kind, especially during the taxi riots, but it was a nuisance to be dropped off far due to safety concerns at night. The location was strategic, near everything one would need in the city, although it would have been ideal to have a bar fridge or a small microwave in the room. The dining experience was lovely with warm, well-cooked food, although not catering to vegetarians could be a downside. Overall, the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel had beautifully decorated and spacious rooms, though lacking amenities like a microwave or fridge. The service was extremely professional and friendly, ensuring everything was in order. The location, while lively, was in the middle of the city. The dining experience offered a variety of well-prepared dishes. The facilities were well-maintained and provided a good overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and suitable for disability, which was a big plus. Having a microwave and fridge was convenient. However, the rooms were fully occupied even though I booked and paid online in time. The location had its ups and downs with some uncomfortable aspects and certain restrictions in place, but the different dishes at the restaurant were a real treat for the taste buds.
The hotel room was dirty and full of dust, especially the headboard, but after moving to another room, it met my expectations. The service was so helpful and friendly, even arranging transport for our dinner trip. The location was explained to me well, although a bit noisy, allowing me to relax. The dining experience was good, with a variety of buffet options, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel is a decent choice for a quick stopover despite the rooms being a bit small and looking different from the pictures. The service was a mix of friendliness and some issues with taxi access. The location had its drawbacks, especially in terms of transportation, but offered some good dining options. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel is in a convenient location in Pretoria CBD, near major fast-food and retail outlets. The rooms are tiny and in need of an upgrade to match the neat and clean reception area, restaurant, and conference facilities. Unfortunately, there is no refrigerator in the rooms.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were small, and I had to maneuver my bag through the narrow passage in room 815. Although the second room I was moved to wasn't as good, it was clean, until I later discovered a stain on the bedding. The service was friendly and attentive, particularly the receptionists, but there was a slight issue with patience in one instance. The location, while aggressive towards Uber drivers, caters to a large number of visitors. Despite some cleanliness issues in the morning, the hotel is conveniently situated next to taxis. The dining experience wasn't the best; they served a large volume of low-quality food for the masses, and there was limited space during peak hours. On the positive side, the hotel offers safety for cars in the central business district area.
The hotel seemed promising with a convenient location close to transport hubs, but fell short on certain aspects like room readiness and accessibility features. The service was hit-and-miss with attentive staff but occasional lapses. The dining options were limited, and the area surrounding the hotel raised safety concerns.
