Historical site (Mandela’s house during his presidential years, beautifully renovatex). super exciting to get to stay there and see all of the carefully curated pieces of art around Nelson Mandela’s life and history.
Easy to get cabs and uber around it.
Very comfortable beds,
AMAZING food and bar.

Attentive staff with sweet & extremely thoughtful personalised touches for our stay. Our room and bathroom were great. Breakfast (included) and dinner were super delicious and Mandela’s previous chef was part of the team - how amazing is that!? Talk about eating with history. The hotel itself is full of history and we loved the tour around residence. Highly highly recommend this hotel!
Nothing!!

The staff member’s smile with the words “ Welcome Home” I travel a lot and never have I been welcomed like this. I felt like I was home and my family & friends were welcomed exactly the same way hours later after my check in. Throughout our stay the staff’s professionalism was impeccable. Their love for people is commendable, the food is on another level👌🏾
I love everything about this gem. However it will be great if they can consider to have rates for locals, unless their niche market is Europeans /Foreign nationals who pay with💰and £

Arriving into Sanctuary Mandela one feels a sense of peace.
A beautiful home with large rooms, secure, clean, and tastefully decorated with art and photographs that reminds us of Mandela and his life.
Everyone in the staff was amazingly welcoming, warm, making sure I felt “at home”. Beautiful people all around, who engaged me with kindness, and respect, making sure I had anything I needed.
Delicious food at the restaurant, following Mandela’s own favorite meals. Full bar including coffee with wonderful bar tenders who made sure drinks were just right. I loved watching the mentoring of new interns that I saw happening at the hotel. Kindness all around.
Library and music.
Kevin, the manager, went out of his way to make sure my stay was perfect, and also reached me at the airport to hand me a tube of pictures I had bought from a Soweto artist and had forgotten at the hotel when I checked out to go to the airport, "I brought them because I knew they mattered to you" he said. His gesture was the final touch on an amazing stay.
The only feedback for something to improve is the speed of the restaurant at breakfast time. The food is delicious, but if one is rushed to get into a meeting or tour, then needs to plan well ahead. Coffee, cappuccino and lattes are made right away but eggs and other items took to long.

Nothing, everything was amazing

Great room very well appointed. Loved the naming of the different rooms
The nighttime treat with a message of what Madiba did on that date in history was special. Well done
We had to ask the staff about the connection between Nelson Mandela and the house. They were happy to tell us but a write up would have been good.
