This hotel is very convenient to me when I visit Johannesburg, however they are consistently let down by the poor attitude from the reception staff. Every request is greeted with a lack of enthusiasm, a surly uninterested attitude and an apparent desire to say no. Compare this to the team in the adjacent restaurant, the Bull Run, who are friendly and keen to provide service it makes you think the hotel should spend a bit more and recruit better staff.

Beautiful, impeccably maintained property in a convenient and pleasant location. Everything was perfect. The staff without exception could not have been more helpful and welcoming including Cynthia who checked us in efficiently and was able to answer all of our questions. We really enjoyed our dinner at the Bull Run which is the hotel restaurant. Will definitely return!

While this isn’t the most luxurious or contemporary hotel, it feels very homely and public spaces are charming - as are the staff, who made us feel vsry welcome.
