Davinci Hotel on Nelson Mandela Square

Sandton|0.14km from Nelson Mandela Square
Very disappointed after our stay at The DaVinci Hotel. I was thoroughly looking forward to this stay as I have not stayed in this hotel before and it had been on my list, check in took quite long, which didn't bother me initially but ended up being a compounding factor after everything else, we had booked online and it took close to an hour for us to get checked in and given our room key, we used this time to look around. When we finally got to our room, we quickly left everything and went to the mall then had dinner, we got back relatively late and only upon getting back did we notice the bed was 2 single beds pushed together, however we booked and paid for a delux king room, needless to say I spent the duration of the evening falling through the 2 beds as I was trying to cuddle my lady, so I didn't get much sleep to say the least. When we got up in the morning I quite badly needed a coffee to wake me up after the night I had and Lo and behold, the coffee machine was not working! By this point you can imagine the frustration.. so we got dressed and went down for breakfast, the process of simply getting a coffee took close to 40 minutes, let alone the food arriving! We actually ended up getting up and leaving because we had plans for the day and did not expect to wait over an hour for our breakfast to arrive! The cold food that was available at the buffet was very dry as well but we scoffed it down and went on our way, it was only while we were walking out that the juice we ordered when we arrived was beginning to make its way to our table, so we were given the bottle and we went on our way We mentioned the incorrect room as well as the coffee machine to the lady at the checkout desk, to which I was reassured that next time we stay it will be nice I can very confidently confirm that there will not be a next time from us, as we do expect a certain service when checking into a 5 star hotel and paying the price that comes along with it On a positive note, the concierge was helpful with taking our luggage to the room Such a pity for a lovely perfectly located place to put such little effort into the quality they provide

Sandton|0.28km from Nelson Mandela Square
We stayed here for a total of 4 nites, beginning of March, two nites we had booked for some rest before joining a group tour of South Africa and Victoria Falls. Two more nites were included in the tour. We arrived very early on the first day, and our room wasn’t ready (no surprise), so we walked over to the mall via the 6th floor access. (Sandton mall), and had a very nice breakfast/lunch at the cafeteria in the Woolworths. When we returned to the hotel, our room was ready, and a porter brought our bags up right away. The room was of a good size, king size bed was comfortable, bathroom had separate shower and bath, and was nicely decorated. We were totally exhausted after almost 24 hours of travelling, and were fast asleep within minutes. Upon waking, we had a very nice dinner at the hotel’s San restaurant. Breakfast in the morning (included) was amazing- there was a cold buffet spread, and in addition, you could order an a la carte dish from the menu - no going hungry here. Honestly, the only thing i could complain about was how cold the water in the pool was.. Besides the easy access to Santon mall, you can also walk to the Nelson mandela square which flows into the sandton mall, which had quite a selection of restaurants - we ended up eatin 2 very nice dinners there. This would definitely be our hotel of choice, should we ever return to Johannesburg..

I visited TL a few times and I’d like to just make a few notes based on my own experiences. Readers discretion is advised! Firstly this building is state of the art with the newest of technology & the views are UP there next to God! 😃 The apartments come in 3 colour schemes and have marvellous marble table tops and flooring! I have stayed in 3 different residential apartments so I know they definitely changed a few elements as they went up each floor.. The 2 bedroom apartment was fully equipped. The only hack upon sitting in the living room is that you will think the remotes don’t work because the decoder is closed in the tv stand drawer and has to be opened when you operate the tv ( I don’t think they thought much about that element when they ordered the tv stands as it’s an element that kinda makes the ergonomics in the space look weird) Long story short, I had to call reception for assistance only to find that the trick is just to open the drawer .. and then bam.. TV starts working! 😕 -I mention this because it’s definitely happened to someone else! I can bet on that! One little personal touch that I loved is that the cloths in the bathroom were wrapped in a lavender stick which is quite refreshing for hotel towelling that is used time and time again! ( I’m yet to still come across a hotel that bothers to put sta-soft on their hotel towels 🤔) - weirdly I only found this on the apartment in the 31st floor and it was sad to see that this doesn’t occur in the 26th floor! Hehehehe ... “we getting lazy in housekeeping as we move up the floors aren’t we ?! 👀 “ Speaking about the housekeepers.... they are loud. Will answer phones while cleaning and their behavior was very unbecoming as they get especially excited if the other room in the apartment is not used as it’s less work for them (which I understand) but it doesn’t come as very professional when said out loud. One of the bathrooms had a drain on the floor next to the shower door that really gave off a bad peel smell. I don’t know if they are aware of that or have any intention of fixing it though but it would be bad to make guests sleep through that kind of problem and expect a great review. I remember just blocking the drain with the bathroom bin but it was a bit frustrating as it got in the way of the door of the toilet. They definitely did not have this kind of a problem on the 26th floor though so I don’t know if it’s an oversight when they were tiling as they moved up the floor. The air conditioning control in the 26th floor is conviniently placed near the bedside light whilst the controls on the 31st floor is by the door of the room.. a bit of hack to get up and switch things on an off by the door if you ask me.. Also , Whyyyyyyyy is there no bed turnover service with chocolate on the pillows in the evening???? I thought the idea is to pamper guests 😌 Or better yet just a lovely fruit basket to welcome guests in the apartment (or wine for that matter) 😤 - I’m starting to thin

Sandton|0.79km from Nelson Mandela Square
Located in Sandown, at the heart of Sandton meant traveling around the district was convenient and time-saving so it’s great if you want the best of everything in Johannesburg. The hotel is relatively new and very clean, they seem to adhere to high hygiene standards and their rooms are fresh and well stocked. They have a fantastic pool and jacuzzi area and this was where I enjoyed spending most of my time, just wish there wasn’t an obvious fence immediately after the infinity pool as I feel this defeats the purpose. Not a place I recommend for high-profile guests simply because coming and going was too easy and there wasn’t much privacy outside of the room. The breakfast buffet as well as the food menu were quite a disappointment except for their steaks and cocktails: the breakfast range was limited so forking R240 pp each day felt like a rip-off. The service was generally incredible, with warm and friendly staff ready to greet you at every corner.

Johannesburg is not as safe as Cape Town so you need to put yourself somewhere safe when traveling there. Sandton is a better area and there is a big shopping mall right next to this hotel and you can find everything there including a supermarket, shops, & lot of restaurants if you don't want to eat in the hotel restaurant. They have parking in basement too with metal gate for an additional R55 per night which I found it reasonable. In general, staffs are helpful and nice, great location, great food in the hotel restaurant too. I will definitely stay there again if I would go to Johannesburg again.

This is my second time staying that the Maslow hotel and once again I am very pleased with the service I have received from the staff and I was very impressed with the view I had from my room this time. Definitely going to be a regular stop when I fly to Johannesburg. The centrality of the hotel makes it a perfect stopover for people flying in from other countries because everything you could need is within walking distance and the area is very safe for those who are not familiar with South Africa.

I loved the location. It is really near the visa centre which was why I was there and the trip from the airport was quick and seamless. I was able to check in early which was amazing. The manager on duty and Porter where so helpful and sweet. The food was really not great at lunch though. I had a ceaser salad which was literally just tired salad leaves and some cheese was very disappointed. Breakfast was OK not wonderful not terrible just OK. The bar staff were super friendly but also didn't have stock to make cocktails was a bit disappointed by that. The room itself was clean and comfy. I would stay here again just over eats or go out for a meal.

One of THE BEST stays we have had in Sandton of late. Firstly, on arrival, you will be pleased a covered parkade with state-of-the-art security, and plenty of space for your car. Then you work your way towards a stunningly designed reception on ground level WITH SELF SERVICE CHECK-IN or a more traditional check-in at the counter if you prefer. I you do self service check-in, I highly recommend taking two access cards. One for you to access the room and another for the electricity in the room.... Some of my favorite highlights: -I absolutely LOVED the wallpapers in the hallways -Loved the LED strip lighting and Wallpaper headrest in my room -I loved the Jacobs cappuccino available in the passage to all guests. The only bad lowlights: -The bathroom sink situated in the main doorway is very poor design and is very out of place. -The walls are very very thin and our neighboring guests annoyed us all night long by opening and closing stuff. -There are no plates, no knifes and forks,only two drinking glasses. --  Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Good place to stay while in JoBurg. Rooms need a serious update, our room was not even close to the pictures on the hotel website. (Expected a room like the ones on the website, especially as a Titanium Elite guest) Check-in was good, Kaya was very helpfull during our 3 day stay as was Happiness. The hotel and rooms are clean, good bed. Hotel has a convinient shuttle to the Mall of Africa. The on site restaurant and bar are excellent, dined two times and enjoyed the dishes (steak, kudu and chicken) and the presentation of the food. Sydwell was both times our waiter and made our visit memorable.

Mint Hotel 84 on Katherine

4.5/571 Reviews
The Mint Hotel 84 gets the basics right with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly service staff. My room was a standard double with a queen bed, it had everything I needed including a desk, coffee maker, and good water pressure in the shower. The bed was fairly comfortable and the room was cleaned promptly every day. The breakfast spread in the dining area had a variety of options including cereals, toast, fruit, pastries, and eggs. The food was of average quality and freshness, nothing exceptional but sufficient to start the day. The service staff at the front desk and concierge were pleasant, helpful, and efficient whenever I had questions. They provided recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area. The hotel has an outdoor pool and fitness centre, although I did not use the fitness centre during my stay. The hallways and public areas were well maintained and clean. Overall, the Mint Hotel 84 provides good, no-frills accommodations in a convenient location for exploring Katherine. The price point is fair for the quality you get, making it a solid choice for standard business or leisure travel.

We had stayed at Prestige two and half years ago pre-Covid. Then the apartment was okay, but now, shocking. The shower door was broken, oven door was broken, the lock to the door half falling off. Holes in the wall, dirty as well. Grime in the bathroom and mould in the showers. The linen to the beds dirty and had holes in them and same for the towels. No shower mat so take care as the tiles are very slippery. Grime around the basin. No hairdryer. Our key was left in the door by the cleaners which was very bad form as anyone could have gone into our room and taken what ever they wanted. The sofas were very used and needed replacing. One positive was the staff were so lovely. Always had a smile and happy to help. Such a pity about the property. Sadly won’t be going back.
