NH Johannesburg Sandton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel in general. Lovely rooms, friendly staff, good amenities. Lowest service point I experienced was asking for a takeaway coffee from the baristas at breakfast and being sent to fetch my own cup at a different location. Why don't they have takeaway cups ready for guests on the move? Why don't they fetch the cup and bring it to my table when it's ready like they would if I ordered a coffee to go? Ongoing maintenance was a bit of a menace when working from my room during the day. Once that's done, I imagine it'll be better."
