Convenient transportation available. Great employees.

An added bonus was a free mall shuttle service. Our room was clean and spacious with a lovely view of the lush courtyard setting. Downsides: no early check in availability (especially for guests that have travelled more than 36 hours); no free coffee in the lobby; no free breakfast (especially for other guests in our group that paid for a premium suite). ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### SUJEE 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Safe and comfortable stay in Joburg I liked the bed a lot, very comfy. But I thought there would be shower gown, not to mention more of amenities like shampoo and conditioner. They only offer a small soap bar, body cleanser, lotion and a shower cap. Overall staffs were really kind, breakfast was also good (nothing special). Beautiful garden. ##### SUJEE Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Omotayo 28 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was my first time and wasnt sure what to expect but i was very impressed with the staff and the whole ambience.

On this occasion I found the pricing at the hotel to be excessive and on asking being told that due to low availability prices have been increased. This was a short notice extension of trip and expected some amicable assistance that was flatly being refused. ##### David Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [ibis Paris Tour Eiffel Cambronne 15ème](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Ibis-Paris-Tour-Eiffel-Cambronne-15eme.h16049.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Johannesburg Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Johannesburg-Rosebank.h75005468.Hotel-Information) > > [City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-At-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h8403573.Hotel-Information) > > [The Houghton Hotel, Spa, Wellness & Golf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-The-Houghton-Hotel.h34157423.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard Hotel Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Courtyard-Hotel-Rosebank.h485195.Hotel-Information) > > [The Boleyn Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Staines-Hotels-The-Boleyn-Hotel.h1668043.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Hotel, Johannesburg Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel.h68929782.Hotel-Information) > > [African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-African-Pride-Melrose-Arch-Hotel.h915100.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun O.R Tambo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Southern-Sun-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h48843.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Bournemouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d654-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Akihabara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Akihabara-Tokyo-Hotels.0-n553248635919968253-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Portsmouth Marriott Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portsmouth-Hotels-Portsmouth-Marriott-Hotel.h18989.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-The-Westcliff.h438443.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Voco-Johannesburg-Rosebank.h56231385.Hotel-Information) > > [Area Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Area-Hotel.h24309580.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Filey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Filey-Hotels.d6141836.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [San Roque Only Adults](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garachico-Hotels-San-Roque-Only-Adults.h518684.Hotel-Information) > > [Peermont Mondior At Emperors Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Peermont-Mondior-At-Emperors-Palace.h1400366.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Darley Dale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darley-Dale-Hotels.d3000451990.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [InterContinental Johannesburg O.R Tambo Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-InterContinental-Johannesburg-OR-Tambo-Airport.h664568.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Emirates Punjab (ISB) to Birmingham (BHX) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/emirates-from-islamabad-intl-to-birmingham/ek/isb/bhx) ### Activities ### Packages > [Switzerland Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Switzerland.d174.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals ---
