Decent Place to stay in the heart of Sandton
overall, great stay. The staff are amazing and very helpful, willing to go the extra mile to make your stay memorable, that's what I like the more I believe. The room was decent but it could definitely use a little finesse and extra attention. Some of the furniture in the room I was in could use an update. Also, whenever taking a shower, water would go out through the bottom, in the bathroom... I couldn't understand. Breakfast was great, decent with a large selection, I enjoyed it. I would probably go back again, but perhaps choose a different type of room to compare with what I had.

Stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment and the room setup is great. However we consistently had problems with water not being hot and the bathrooms have signs of wear and tear. The biggest problem was the noise level. There was a party on one night and church on another. I think it would be great if they warned guests in advance. There was also no concierge when we arrived and had to move our own luggage.
