This is a designed to meet the needs of the customer. The staff work very hard to make you comfortable. Breakfast was great. I always felt safe there. Unfortunately, the neighborhood is risky, and you can't just go exploring

Nice place, clean, good shower but no wash cloths provided. Check in staff was excellent. Food was good at the restaurant but service was lacking. Server did not check on me the entire meal.

The staff were nice and I was even able to check in early, fantastic after a long flight. The entrance is gated which is for safety and I saw lots of hotels like that, but it made me uncomfortable about the safety of the area, but then I was told that’s what Johannesburg is like.
