8.6/10

The hotel is ideally located on the Orange River, near the Gautrain station and museum area, with the city center just a stone's throw away. The service provided, from check-in to interactions with the waiters, was absolutely fantastic. However, the dining options were limited in variety and served mainly fast food.
