I had a great stay at this hotel located in a trendy area with cool bars and galleries. The rooms were spacious, well-furnished, and represented a historical period of Johannesburg. However, some areas need renovation. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing various services. The location was awesome, right in the middle of Maboneng with easy access to restaurants and shops.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped for self-catering. The service was friendly, although parking arrangements were a bit problematic. The location was vibrant and artistic, close to great dining options. The dining experience was enjoyable under the olive trees. Overall, a good value for money choice in a hip neighborhood in Johannesburg.
