The hotel had everything you needed for a good stay, conveniently located to other restaurants around. However, it was slightly soured by one staff member. The rooms are small and awkwardly shaped on a diagonal.

The hotel's location in the secure Melrose Arch area is perfect for exploring, and the modern rooms with big windows offer decent comfort. The service is excellent but comes at a higher price. Dining options are varied, with some standout choices but room for improvement. The hotel's facilities are generally sufficient for a pleasant stay.

The hotel had a great view of the pool and courtyard from the second-floor room, but the design lacked a bedside lamp or light switch, making it difficult to navigate in the dark. The rooms were clean with good bedding and towels, offering amenities like a coffee and tea station. The service was exceptional, with helpful staff booking reservations and fulfilling extra requests, but they started knocking early in the morning. The location was small but with good facilities in Johannesburg, quick to reach other shopping centers and offering a great selection of food. The dining options were outstanding, with top-class service, though some found it dry and disappointing. The facilities were well-maintained and pleasant.
