Hyatt House Johannesburg Rosebank

8/10 Good
"We had a great stay here. The hotel was comfortable, modern and in a really good area. The staff were fantastic and we found everything clean and well looked after. The only small thing for us was that we didn’t realise beforehand that the hotel is halal, so there was no alcohol available and no bacon at breakfast. Not a major issue at all, but it would have been helpful if this was made a little clearer when booking. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend it. Comfortable rooms, great staff and a good location."
