What guests think

Across recent reviews, City Lodge Hotel Lynnwood is praised for its convenient, safe location near shops and restaurants, and for friendly, professional staff, making it a solid base for short stays in Pretoria’s Lynnwood area.

Rooms are generally comfortable and functional, but several guests reported ineffective air conditioning or heating, very slow Wi-Fi, and a slightly tired feel in places. Cleanliness is usually strong, though a few notes cited dirty carpets, dated bathroom sealant, or, in one case, pests. Parking feels secure (sometimes slowed by licence checks), and many enjoyed the hot, good-value breakfast and on-site meals, although breakfast service and stock were inconsistent on occasion. Overall, expect a convenient, good-value stay with some maintenance trade-offs.

Over all a surprisingly good hotel to be a 3*. Breakfast is with warm dishes as well as fruit and yoghurt and bread. Used the transfer upon arrival and it worked without issues. Fire alarm sounded one evening several times. One good thing is that it actually works, but since it was caused by smoke in the kitchen I didn’t try eating dinner there. In general friendly staff and clean. Close by a two minute walk to a small shopping center area with grocery, sports stores, and restaurants.

Lovely hotel well postioned near shops and restaurants in a very safe area . On site hotel free basement parking . I would have given this hotel best rating all around had the airconditioning in my room worked . The airconditioning unit just blew uncooled air while temperatures outside were sauring. Sleep was impossible !! Complaints to management fell on deaf ears .

The location was safe and convenient with restaurants within a minutes walk. All the staff were lovely especially on check-in and our waiter. The pool is small and was chilly but we arrived in early September. The room was clean but a little tired hence 4 stars but we would stay here again.

Every parking star check my driver licences. Lost a lot of time. Other hotels never check driver licence. Just check car register number to check the car can free parking or not

The staff was amazing, as well as the food. The rooms are comfortable - but the bathrooms need upgrading - the showers always leak, flooding the entire place and the silicone in the shower is old and disgusting black like mould.

Room 565 had two gigantic roach bugs that I was able to unalive with my shoe. However as I begin to relax for sleep I heard some noise near the floor under the window and saw a small mice go from behind the curtain on the floor to behind the desk. I was not able to sleep in a room with all these pests.

Great location (to visit CSIR, and next to restaurants); generally good condition of room and hotel, but bed was not comfortable - I did not sleep well; breakfast was disappointing - poor service and half of the food options ran out an hour into breakfast; Internet was extremely slow; service appears to have become worse over the years.

I liked the area the property was in, I enjoyed the night scenary as well and safety of the surrounding area. I didn't like the fact that my room didn't have a microwave and the air-conditioner was of poor quality as it didn't get hot in a reasonable amount of time.
