This was my 4th time staying at the Capital Melrose - I visit frequently from the US to see family …
I love that the rooms are large, spacious, modern with great bathrooms, a kitchenette & bonus washer/dryer in some rooms…
The staff are all absolutely incredible, friendly & go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect!!

I booked two rooms at the Capital Hotel in Melrose for a business trip. Upon arrival, we were informed that there was no record of our booking, despite us having a confirmation for that same day. After presenting the confirmation, we were told that the booking had actually been made at the Capital Hotel in Sandton. We again showed our confirmation clearly stating Melrose.
After some time, the manager came to assist the front desk. Only then were we informed that a group booking had extended their stay, and as a result, our reservation had been moved to the Sandton property without any prior notification.
In over 30 years of business travel, I have never experienced anything like this. The lack of communication, poor handling of the situation, and overall unprofessional approach suggest that management is not adequately overseeing basic hospitality standards.
To make matters worse, no refund, complimentary meal, or even a simple gesture of goodwill was offered to compensate for the inconvenience caused.
A very disappointing and unacceptable experience.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful. The room and the hotel are clean. The bed was comfortable. We had a nice stay.
Jo
We didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment.
Staff excellent, rooms smart, clean and comfortable.
However really bad nights sleep. So advsie for all. Don't take a room that is immediately next door to the gym as we heard music and the treadmills going throughout the night.

Good.
Hayes
Everything was excellent. The only thing I would comment on is that the restaurant was a bit too expensive. Paul's in the Melrose Arch which is one of the most upmarket restaurants in the area was cheaper.

Amazing stay at the Capital
The place is amazing and the staff is super friendly and helpful. I think they have the best staff I’ve seen so far.
Cedric
I moved to The Capital Melrose after four nights in a more uoscale hotel, and I was very pleased by The Capital Melrose's value for the price. Looks like a really well run hotel, as the facilities were immaculate, the room had useful basic amenities, and best of all, the staff were wonderfully warm. I would stay here again!
Marie Yovana
Good hotel, quiet.
Martin
Fair to Middle
It was clean and neat. The room was big but sparse. Service was friendly and the food was nice. TV was limited and for R1700 a night I would have expected more. There was nothing exceptional that made it different from a less expensive option.
Gerrit
Comfortable and well appointed hotel
A comfortable and well appointed hotel and room with very friendly and helpful staff. Very close to the Melrose Arch precinct and not too far off the M1 highway.

Couple stay
Stayed a couple of nights. It was a good stay, clean property including gym. Pool is small and thin and by the dinning area only thing I dislike. Overall great service. Was able to uber/bolt from there and food service was easy. Must eat there atleast once it’s delicious.

Could not pick a better hotel
Very helpful staff.
Ray
Airport shuttles never arrived.
Everything about the hotel was wonderful except arranging airport shuttles. Twice they were ordered ahead of time and twice they never showed up and our entire group of 16 had to scramble for an alternative. We probably will not use this property again because of this issue and that there is an expense to use an airport shuttle if it does show up.
Stéphane
We hardly slept due to parties Rooms next door until 3 in the morning! Nobody from the staff dared to stop the noses, because, according to the front desk it was… « friday »!!
What is the point?

Bad Hotel
Terrible. I did not enjoy my stay due to this hotels treatment. My friend later left for another hotel close by and saw the big difference.
Jo
Always a pity about your neighbours
Firstly, the staff: awesome! Friendly, professional, welcoming. The room I stayed in was small but comfortable; then again, the rate I paid was reflected in this. BUT: the room next door had a balcony and those occupants would stand there and smoke, discoursing loudly. The smoke would waft into my room while their voices were intrusive. Also, the restaurant does not have surfaces that absorb sound and any laughter or so is, to say the least, LOUD! But, the food is good, the location brilliant, the parking secure.

Sebastian
A great modern hotel!
Sammy was great! He met us at the taxi and ushered inside out of the rain and sorted out luggage for us. Thanks so much.
The hotel was situated right opposite Melrose Arch, within walking distance of the wanderers and a short taxi to Nelson Mandela Square, so overall, a great location.
The breakfast was really good, the pool area was well maintained and if it were sunny would have been a great place to relax.
The rooms were spacious, comfortable and very clean. Little things such as British/European plugs in the room made life easier.

Wouldn’t recommend the Melrose Capital
The swimming pool was green and you couldn’t swim in it. One staff member was extremely rude to me, other staff members were very helpful.
Lesandra
I am a Capital group regular and my \"home\" was the Capital Empire. This was my first stay at Melrose and this may just be my new Capital Home! Love the location, the service was great and room service was efficient.
Nick
Good hotel stay....just watch your bags.
We had a very nice stay but left very unhappy.
We checked in very late with 2 rooms and a family of 7. We ordered room service and the food was good. We hired a van to come transport us to our next location and left. Once we arrived at our next destination we found we were missing 2 bags. We had all the bags in the lobby and asked the bellman to our all the bags in the van. Ultimately it was my mistake of not checking. But it’s been a pain to get the bags back.
