I have stayed in hundreds of hotels, and this was top notch. The property is in excellent condition, it’s got 24 hour security, the staff are all lovely, the housekeeping service is super responsive and did a great job on my laundry, all of the food in their restaurant is tasty and well made and all of the restaurant staff are terrific. I stayed 8 days and it was just perfect on all counts. I was able to put in full work days at the desk in my room and (with the windows shut) I enjoyed a sound night’s sleep without noise. Perfect for a business traveler!

Nice rooms in slightly dated hotel

Rooms are nice and in good condition but the hotel is a bit run down - broken equipment in the gym, slow lifts. Noisy at night, poor noise insulation between rooms. Shuttle to the mall is convenient but only runs once per hour.

Last night of holiday

The helpfulness of the reception staff who sought us out to advise us that our room was ready. They provided information about the restaurant, spa, shuttle bus and late checking out. The room was clean with all facilities. The pullows were a bit too hard for my luking but that was personal to me. We had a couples treatment in the spa and the staff there were very attentive. The shuttle bus takes you to Nelson Nandela Square and shopping centre and brings you back. All the staff were friendly but akso professional. We would come vack here again.

Staff not service minded

I go to Joburg once a month for 5 days for work. I've been staying in different hotels until I came across The Catalyst in April. In May, I decided to book there again. The service is so horrible. Most of the staff is rude and shows no customer service whatsoever. It's like they are forced to be there. When I call reception for them to transfer me to the kitchen or elsewhere, they seem irritated. I cannot wait to get out of this place and I am never coming back. This is such an uncomfortable stay.

Ótima opção.

Os quartos são espaçoso e novos, alguns com cozinha e saleta. O café da manhã é bom. O estacionamento é grande e pode levar a chave. O restaurante do hotel é bonito e os pratos que escolhemos estavam bem feitos e fartos. O hotel oferece van gratuitamente para o Sandton Mall na Mandela Square.

Lovely property. The location is safe and very convenient. Proximity to the malls and restaurants is great. Very clean facilities. My only issue was with the shower in our apartment. The water didn’t drain well while showering so the water would flood up.

All Around Excellent Service

This stay was an addition to my previous stay off 30 days. I was extremely please with the service of all the areas in the hotel. The professionalism of the front desk staff, housekeeping, and dining room was excellent. I always felt the friendliest and dedication of all the staff. The entire facility was always clean and secure. I would certainly choose this location for all future visits to Johannesburg.
