The room was very spacious with simple, beautiful designs. Liked the idea of heading out to the recommended restaurant for breakfast option available to guest and it was a walking distance.
Staff was suppose to come connect the TV and provide an extra mug. After she checked us in, she might have forgotten to come back for those but than again wasn't much of an issue coz we were there for a night.
The room behind ours was a little bit loud, not sure when they stopped that night. Not sure about the noise regulations of the place.

The rooms are very spacious and clean, same as the bathrooms. The location is spot on with access to varieties of social and night life clubs within the famous 7th Street in Melvile.
The fact that driving guests always need
to get out of the car to draw attention of the staff for the gate to be opened. It poses a risk of getting robbed or hijacked especially at night. Driving guests should be given a remote for the gate.

I believe I left my small iphone in the room and I haven’t received a call from the property on when can I come and collect it.

We forgot jewellery in the safe. They not only find it but send it by way of courier back to us. Such honesty is rare to find.
Replace the soap and shampoo more often. We stayed there 7 nights and it was replaced only once

The location is spot on. Just at the heart of the famous 7th Street in Melvile. The room is very clean, spacious and comfortable...
Firstly some of the male staff lack proper etiquette required to treat their guests. You can't get mad at guests for requesting you fix the electricity after 30-45mins of power being back.
Secondly the issue of power going off when there is no load shedding needs to be addressed. This I have experienced for more than two occasions I have lodged there. It is always either the prepared voucher is finished which takes time for them to recharge it or something is wrong with the electricity box.
Thirdly guests that are driving should be given remote for the gate. Not every time you have to go look for the staff to open for you. Sometimes it is raining but you have to come out of your car to go draw their attention. This really needs to be sorted out.

Great staff always willing to help. Breakfast was mouthwatering. The room was tidy. The place felt like home, I would pay a visit again.
There was no mop, after taking a shower the water was all over the floor, it would have been great if the mop was provided.

Location is great, room is nice
No breakfast, no one at night actually within the facilities (employees are actually strolling outside having fun).
Transportation to airport is very expensive and service unclear and arranged in a doubtful way.

Very comfortable rooms and good security. Close to Maboneng action and sheltered from it.

Fast, friendly check in and helpful staff.
Overall happy with my stay. If I had to be super critical I would say the decor and furniture are somewhat dated but of a good quality nevertheless.

This is an excellent location, with clean, secure rooms, helpful staff, and great breakfast nearby.
It gets a bit noisy on the weekend, but that's part of being in a bustling area. The rooms are highly variable, so more consistency with Netflix, etc. would be welcome.

The room is spacious and clean, and the beds are comfortable. Actually, the room is super spacious and allows for free movement. The kitchenette in the area is clean with all the necessities available.
Nothing. The place is well kept, and close to everything.

Excellent location, all needed around us. Room was very spacious, comfortable, modern and clean. The interior was so beautiful. The bathroom was so neat and tidy. Most friendly staff and a big thanks to Emiley (reception) for her warm friendly and caring attitude towards us. Our stay was so pleasant, we felt very safe. Definitely a highly recommendation to all my friends and work colleagues.
