Very friendly and helpful staff! Rooms were small and underwhelming but clean. Breakfast was a great spread! Felt like a safe space and very nice surrounding neighborhood.
Got in late and wish I had more time to enjoy the place. It was comfortable and perfectly located, with easy walking access to the Gautrain and Sandton City. Definitely good value for money.

Not the fanciest hotel, but for the price it was great. So close to Nelson Mandela Square, the bed was super comfortable and the bar/restaurant had excellent food. I also enjoyed the garden area.
