I had a delightful stay at this charming hotel in Johannesburg. The location was perfect for exploring the city while being in a quiet neighborhood. The rooms were beautifully decorated in a traditional British style, although my request for specific bedding wasn’t fulfilled. The staff made me feel like royalty with their friendly and professional service. I did find the breakfast options somewhat lacking, but overall, it was a hidden gem worth visiting.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hidden paradise in the heart of Johannesburg! The hotel offers extraordinary value for money with spacious and tastefully decorated rooms, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. On the downside, my request for no feather duvet and pillows went unaddressed, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy the view!
