The bed was comfortable with very nice bed linen! Like the proximity to Sandton City and Mandela Sq! All in all I thought the Raphael was very good value for money! I did not like the view from my room.. faced the wall (but at least it wasn’t concrete and plain, but would have preferred a city view! ##### Alice Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Gerrit 9 Aug 2024 This hotel could be a pearl in Sandton, however, the photos of the property hide investment in maintenance. One of only a few hotels we’ve stayed in which has so few sockets for charging a laptop or indeed a phone. We found blood on the tiles in one of the two bathrooms in the 2 bedroom suite. The pigeons enjoyed our jacuzzi on the enormous balcony. We certainly weren’t going to get into that tub. A disappointing stay which didn’t meet our expectations. ##### Gerrit Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Karen 13 Mar 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bedbug City hotel My stay would have been good if we were not eaten up by bedbugs. We did not sleep the entire night as I was itching uncontrollably by the bites. I caught one bedbug and took it to the reception desk. The receptionist was very nice and brought me a clean sheet and blanket to sleep in the chair as I could not sleep in the bed anymore. The next morning I was told by the morning receptionist that someone would contact me from the hotel. No one did not even by email. I reported it to my credit card company, and they refused to refund my payment of $283.45 for the nights stay. My biggest fear was bringing bedbugs back into NY with me. I think it was ridiculous that the hotel did not did not refund me as I did not want to write a negative review because I was waiting for them to do the honorable thing of refunding me. ![Bedbug bites](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9A55A33E5266CBADAEB8957F7A8B899628E0745E1741879325424.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C31548B3BC5B8E2F22BB77804BCA71DF917375FB1741879325573.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/63DB321763058CC707B5F166D7716F2F3E72526B1741879327717.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6BB8DE672D0C5251FB488698A174B5056D1967DD1741879466224.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### LOPHEE 24 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything about Raphael Penthouse Suites is excellent: great location, clean and comfortable room, courteous service and very reasonable price.

Good breakfast served at nearby hotel. Spacious rooms. Mold in the rooms, poor and not very friendly service, many technical issues, for example they could not make keys for our rooms and wifi worked only half of the time. Tried to charge extra for breakfast that was included.

Unmöglich, dort zu sitzen wegen Lärm von Gebäude-Maschinen wie Klimaanlage. Nicht einmal ein Fenster oder Türe konnte man offen lassen wegen dem Lärm.

I'm traveling on business and booked this property because I thought I might benefit from the lounge area and kitchen but the carpet was soaking wet from leakage from the patio, the sofa was beyond worn out, the wardrobe doors didn't slide / close properly and the bedroom still has a square CRT TV as if it's 1994! Really a terrible shambles of an experience, not to mention lifts not working on the day I arrived. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/65F75D5851FD3E564A55271406A54E074F810A4D1575611756678.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC9CC96039295C25A97F1DEF6B1A3BBBBBFBC7BE1575611770450.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9A893F1C93194115CA220C3F7B1524851C9B97361575611775155.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/A602D174A676A4F7F62AD38C126848FB72F661CF1575611785042.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Justin Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kenton 21 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### HIdden Gem, Great Location Great location, great apartment, only one slight criticism and that was there was no iron or ironing board in the apartment. ##### Kenton Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Markus 30 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Zentrale Lage beim Nelson Mandela Square Um es vorwegzunehmen, die zahlreichen Restaurants am Square sind nicht so lärmig.
