I booked on Expedia but there must have been a glitch in the system.The booking reflected one instead of two occupants. That meant that only my husband could have breakfast. Even through the room was expensive the staff didn’t try to resolve the issue so I could have breakfast. When we went to grab a Bolt downtown for 200 Zar, the front door staff tried discouraging us saying it could be dangerous and wanted to hook us up with a taxi for 600 Zar. We declined and took a bolt and felt like the staff were trying to scam us. I would give overall customer service between 2 and 3 stars.

We booked Superior rooms and instead go family rooms, breakfast was ordinary and coffee service poor from the automatic machines and not much better from the barista. We stayed in 4 seperate hotels this past week, Metcourt was the most expensive and our least favourite.

Reception staff were friendly and very efficient.

The rooms/hotel are no longer in their prime and could use some updating, but they are clean and had everything we needed for our layover.

Complimentary airport shuttle was on time. The breakfast buffet was also complimentary which wasn't clear when we booked.

Overall, we'd stay there again, mostly due to the close proximity to a wide range of restaurants and the airport.

When we arrived we were told we were upgraded to a five star hotel room in the hotel as there were water leaks in the booked suite king sized bed room. The bus driver then told us they needed the suites for the convention. The rooms we got in the hotel instead had 2 single small beds too small for me and had to kettle etc. I told the person who brought the cases to the room and the house keepers just came and Made the single beds again! Was a joke and I booked this king size bed the night before an 18 hr flight to Hong Kong and I couldn’t get sleep with the small bed - I demand a refund ! Damien Heffernan

The breakfast was the same daily. The omlette was good. It needed to be labeled better. There was no hot water for tea as the machine was out of order. Staff was not helpful with assistance, under normal circumstances it is self served. The room was clean. The wifi may be better if it is password protected. Most times the signal was too weak in the room. The shuttle service was top notch.

They claim to offer 24 hour shuttle service from the airport but that was not my experience cause when I called at 3am looking for them to send the shuttle for pick up so I could check in I was told to call a Uber. Also upon check out I requested the shuttle to the airport and once I was in the shuttle (which was some guys SUV with the hotel name on it) I was asked how I was going to pay. I told the driver I was unaware that I had to pay as I was under the impression that the hotel offered free shuttle service which turned out to not be the case. The driver then tried to overcharge me so I got out and took a uber back to the airport. Before pulling off in the Uber the concierge lady who had called the shuttle for me asked me what the problem was and I explained to her only for her to say well it says it on our website there is a fee I told her I didn’t book through the website but through Expedia and that they should specify that there is a charge for the shuttle service. Other then the shuttle issues the hotel wasn’t a bad stay.

We booked a night but only needed the room for a short layover — about 5 hours — to shower and take a quick nap. It was exactly what we needed! The room was large, spotless, and very comfortable. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the free shuttle made everything super convenient. Perfect option for a quick stay near the airport.

Do not waste your money to stay at this hotel. Hotel is very noisy over weekends. Rooms smell and don’t look clean. Room next to me had more than 4 people staying in it and made so much noise that I had to move to another room at 12:30am, security did nothing. Breakfast time was a disaster. Waiting time was more than 1+ hour wait, hotel was over booked and people fuming and leaving. Standards of this hotel have dropped drastically, will not stay there again.

First night in Johannesburg

The hotel stay was good, but at the lower end of good. The gentleman who checked us in presented as very indifferent. Within 30 min of checking in we noticed that bathroom sink/face basin was not draining. Complained about it to the same person who checked us in, he assured us that he will get maintenance to fix it and after 3 hrs or so it was not fixed. Went back downstairs and complained to another worker who gave us instructions on how to fix the issue, but we were unable to do it. He came upstairs and said one of us should put our hands in the sink “filled with dirty water” to unplug the sink. I then asked him to do it instead of asking us to do it, and he said it was unsanitary. I then said well if its unsanitary why are you asking us to do it. Anyway maintenance came and fixed it. The maintenance worker was pleasant and engaging. I paid for a party of three but only got two bath towels, another story but at the end we got the towel. Breakfast was included which I wasn’t aware of. I am not a breakfast person but the breakfast was buffet style and it was amazing. The restaurant staff were pleasant and attentive. Will I stay there again, probably yes!

Not very good and expensive.

Dont get me wrong this hotel is not the worst I have stayed at, but I have stayed in many that are 3 times cheaper which are better, cleaner have better brekfast doors that do not slam shut all night, cleaners that do not try to enter the room at 9 am on a Sunday and have breakfast sauces, such as tomato or brown sauce.
The room was generally clean and I only found one beatle crawling along the floor.
The line in the morning for brekfast was about 10 to 15minutes. Then there was rhe line for the omlet or fried egg. The toast took around 4passes through the toaster to get even a light brown. Most bread ws dry and the chocolate croissant could have been used to break windows. This was the case most days not just on sunday.

If you're looking for friendly or half decent service, don't stay here. The staff are shockingly rude & customer service is non-existant. I wrote a 12 point essay to the hotel about what went wrong in ONE night. I've traveled the world, every country in Africa included, and this was the worst customer experience to date.
