Hampton By Hilton Sandton Grayston

Hampton By Hilton Sandton Grayston

8/10 Good

"The room and the property were very clean, safe parking inside the property and staff is super friendly. The breakfast however was subpar. My husband and I rate the hotel a 4/5."

Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank

Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank

8/10 Good

"Great location and very vibey. But suffers from the usual lack of communication between staff as well as lack of visible genuine professional enthusiasm of staff who just seem to be going through the motions and who couldn’t care less about the guest experience. Breakfast is a joke and poorly executed with no quality checks. Nice menu but poor delivery. Also there is a chronic long edit for the lifts because the hotel had about 10 different side functions - speak easy, gym, offices, etc and three tiny lifts. I stayed when it was Voco and now Hyde. Still needs work on service delivery / especially at that price point. Managers need to set standards and oversight and not always just apologise when the guest experience is not optimal. You can and should do better."

Holiday Inn Johannesburg - Rosebank by IHG

Holiday Inn Johannesburg - Rosebank by IHG

8/10 Good

"This was a nice hotel and we really enjoyed the full breakfast that was included. However, when we left, I asked if they would arrange for a shuttle. But they arranged for was a car that cost literally three times as much as an Uber. So we departed, feeling almost scammed ( though declined their overpriced taxi in favor of a nice Uber driver of our own choosing). The location of the hotel is nice because it’s connected to the mall. Though I doubt I would ever stay there again after that little scam they tried to pull at the very end."
