We had a luxury king room with a heating system, an individual safe and a seating area. The entire staff was welcoming. Good food for all meals.

We could see johannesburg zoo from our window. You won't be disappointed if you stay in Rosebank district. The hotel was not far from Gau Sandton train station.

Perfect place for those searching one night in Johannesburg. It was a wonderful stay. Free WiFi was a welcome feature. Even the Rand airport was not so far...
