I think it should be updated with the current pictures as the current picture online does not reflect the true picture of the property. I prefer low-income earners rent the place and smoking should not be done in public.

Ryanne

The staff was friendly and the property looks like it was once gorgeous but it is rundown and needs a facelift. Shower tiles falling off and cutting out feet, mold and mildew in the shower, floors dirty and sheets questionable clean? Wouldn’t book again unless work was done. The area was beautiful and felt safe.

Not a hotel to stay in Johannesburg
We stayed for one night and it was the worst place on our entire trip. The apartment/suite we got was spacious but everything was dirty and dusty. There were ants crawling around and the place was not cleaned properly. The cushions on the sofas looked like someone just used it. There was hair in the shower and on the bedding along with stains. Outside everything was dusty and it was clear that because it was low season they weren’t maintaining it, in which case they shouldn’t rent it out. For breakfast they didn’t have tea or coffee as the machine was broken. We asked for some napkins to wipe the dust on the chairs and the table and they didn’t have that either. All together it was a terrible experience and the pictures in hotels.com are misleading.

Könnte ein schönes Hotel sein, ist aber ungepflegt
Das Hotel könnte schön sein. Wir haben uns aber leider überhaupt nicht wohl gefühlt. Unser Zimmer (Executive-Suite, 2 Schlafzimmer, Gartenblick) war sehr gross und geräumig. Aber leider wird nicht gereinigt und auch sonst nicht zu dieser Unterkunft geschaut: - die Sofas waren so schmudelig, dass sich niemand drauf setzen wollte - am Boden fanden wir Essensreste von unseren Vorgängern - die Bettlaken waren an den Enden gerissen - beim Check-in war kurz jemand vor Ort; als wir die Probleme mit dem Zimmer melden wollten, war bereits niemand mehr da - beim Check-out war ebenfalls niemand vor Ort - das Morgenessen war extrem dürftig (z.B. nur Toast-Brot) Wir können diese Unterkunft definitiv nicht empfehlen und werden auch selber nie mehr hier buchen. Eigentlich schade, denn von aussen sieht die Unterkunft sehr schön aus.

Disappointing. Bed linen not ironed. Duvet hanging out of duvet cover. No blanket provided. When I asked for one, it was damp. White curtains and blinds in bedroom and bathroom were black with dust. Only one towel each provided. Soap container used by many before us. Towel rail broken. No coffee provided, only many packets of sugar. Poolside furniture not clean. Definitely not 4 star!

We enjoyed our stay. Checking in was a breeze.. The pool is refreshing and clean. One staff member refused to help me with carrying a chair. Said her leg is painful... Staff members need to give guests some sort of privacy, they sat and watched us swim and passed comments it was uncomfortable. The room is nice and big. We really enjoyed our stay... Will be returning for sure
