Könnte ein schönes Hotel sein, ist aber ungepflegt
Das Hotel könnte schön sein. Wir haben uns aber leider überhaupt nicht wohl gefühlt. Unser Zimmer (Executive-Suite, 2 Schlafzimmer, Gartenblick) war sehr gross und geräumig. Aber leider wird nicht gereinigt und auch sonst nicht zu dieser Unterkunft geschaut: - die Sofas waren so schmudelig, dass sich niemand drauf setzen wollte - am Boden fanden wir Essensreste von unseren Vorgängern - die Bettlaken waren an den Enden gerissen - beim Check-in war kurz jemand vor Ort; als wir die Probleme mit dem Zimmer melden wollten, war bereits niemand mehr da - beim Check-out war ebenfalls niemand vor Ort - das Morgenessen war extrem dürftig (z.B. nur Toast-Brot) Wir können diese Unterkunft definitiv nicht empfehlen und werden auch selber nie mehr hier buchen. Eigentlich schade, denn von aussen sieht die Unterkunft sehr schön aus.

Disappointing. Bed linen not ironed. Duvet hanging out of duvet cover. No blanket provided. When I asked for one, it was damp. White curtains and blinds in bedroom and bathroom were black with dust. Only one towel each provided. Soap container used by many before us. Towel rail broken. No coffee provided, only many packets of sugar. Poolside furniture not clean. Definitely not 4 star!

We enjoyed our stay. Checking in was a breeze.. The pool is refreshing and clean. One staff member refused to help me with carrying a chair. Said her leg is painful... Staff members need to give guests some sort of privacy, they sat and watched us swim and passed comments it was uncomfortable. The room is nice and big. We really enjoyed our stay... Will be returning for sure

NÃO É UM HOTEL
Ficamos apenas uma noite nesse hotel. Ficamos muitas vezes em hotéis boutique pela qualidade que tem. Escolhemos a suíte executiva para uma melhor acomodação Esse apartamento que nos apresentaram tinha cheiro de mofo. Acho que nao era usado a algum tempo. Quarto frio. Gelado. A noite NAO TINHA ÁGUA QUENTE. Não havia ninguém no suposto hotel para dar atendimento. O guardião nos passou que a falta d’água era por conta de muito uso dos outros hóspedes. 3 banheiros no quarto e não tinha agua quente. Pedi para chamar alguém e uma hora depois apareceu um menino de chinelo Sem identificação que não entendia nada. As tvs com fios expostos. O café da manhã não existia. Era uma senhora que cozinhava o que vc pedisse. Pedi um misto quente. Mas não tinha presunto. Básico do básico. Pior que hotel de beira de estrada. Trata se de air bnb disfarçado de hotel. Não recomendo estadia. De boutique nao tem nada. Foi lamentável. Deveria ser classificado como 2 estrelas no máximo.

Hi Francisco I have discussed your review with the staff involved in the above comments - Regarding the temperature of the room, July is winter in Johannesburg and the temperature on the 24th July was 15deg..very cold. Each room has a fully operational airconditioner for hot and cold temperature settings and underfloor heating in the bathrooms and each room also has extra blankets for these particularly cold nights. 2. The hot water situation was a plumbing issue - we contacted our plumber immediately and when we asked you if we could send our plumber to you to sort it out - you declined. We also offered to assist with alternative bathroom in room 10 so you could have a hot shower, you also declined that offer. The MAN who came to your room to assist was off duty - which is why he was in flip flops but he came to try and help and assess the situation so we could help you. 3. Our breakfasts are made to order - we ALWAYS have bacon which is standard on an English Breakfast. In closing- we do understand your frustration regarding the lack of hot water and apologise for that profusely, as per a conversation you had with our Manager earlier that day - you were impressed with the Hotel and your actual words to him were - you and your wife loved your suite. You do not mention in your review that the Manager personally drove you to take you shopping for wines which you were grateful and impressed with the level of his service. Whilst we do not usually go into such detail with our review responses, we do feel that this review was uncalled for and is not a true reflection of our establishment or our service levels and commitment to our guests.

Not so good experience in nice setting.
I will first share the negative and then the positive. I did not feel welcome on arrival as the check in was just taking me to the room and saying there is the wifi password and no further explanation or details. The airconditioner is too small for the room and struggles to cool down the room, the towel rail is broken, the desk lamp is broken and the coffee capsule machine is broken. After about 3 hours of arrival I noticed there was no water, I went to management and they informed me that a pipe burst in the neighborhood. Off course this is not in control of management, but communication is. The next morning I again went to management to ask whether they can not provide some way for us to flush our toilets - I would at least have expected communication in this regard, but none. I ended up using the dustbin and water from the geyser to flush the toilet and had to pay for a gym close by to take a shower. When I sat down for breakfast the first morning, I honestly had no idea what to do to get coffee as no staff approached me, althought there was a number of staff members in and around the kitchen. I eventually approaced them and asked where do I get coffee, to which they replied: hot or cold milk? The positive, the size of the room and bathroom is nice and large. The shower is nice as well as the towels and bedding. Setting with swimming pool is nice. The breakfast was well prepared and tasty. Fast internet with great connectivity.

Amazing room, slow service
The room was amazing, very spacious and lovely, the garden was beautiful and the location was perfect, although i was out the whole day my room was not made up when I came back and ther was no phone in the room to call for house keeping, I was not given a remote for the front gate and the service for opening the gate was rather slow

Great hotel, excellent service, but that Jan Smuts Road is just too busy, and it makes it slightly unpleasant to get in and out of the place, but overall a good experience, I would visit it again.
