Dirty apartment, uncomfortable beds, stained sofa, stained linen, broken kitchen bics, staff doesn’t clean your room even when you request you have to follow up, no bathroom amenities, definitely not as advertised. Not luxury at all- far from it. Waste of money.

Not as expected

The apartments are gated providing a layer of security which was appreciated. Upon arrival when using the showers it was apparent they haven’t been cleaned in some time and the towels were dirty, refolded, and still wet. Not like the pictures.

Not the best

Unit was very dirty, floor in bathroom covered in hair, and a lot of maintenance is required in the unit.

Bath towels are so tiny, and very stained and had hair embedded in the towels
Shower had no pressure, shower head attached with tape.
Where tiles are broken in the shower the problem was resolved with silicone.
Walls and ceiling very dirty and aircons dont work

Great Place, good stay but false Advertising

My stay was a mix bag, let me start with the bad. I booked a Standard Twin Room which showed a Couch, nice big balcony and a Washing Machine. When I arrived they gave me a narrow room, with a 60cm desk, a stool and a 40cm wide balcony. After a long discussion the 'Manager' told me that I was correct with seeing pics of an Apartment and not the Twin but the description was correct and I should have seen it. Totally false Advertising on their part. They asked now for an extra fee, which I wasnt willing to pay. Long story short: Hotel.com compensated me with a voucher and the Manager gave me a better rate for the room on the pictures I booked.

Now the good after the first bad impression.

The room were BIG. Nice view, good bed, the cleaning lady, the inside and at the gate guards are very lovely.
I spoke to the manger about the deposit issues mentioned on the reviews and she said its a problem with international cards, so I gave them cash which I received back on checkout (exactly the same notes I gave them).

What I want to mention to their benefit as well. They have updated the pictures now, which reflects the correct room. I only can recommend the upgrade to the bigger apartment. Its worth the extra money.

Overall. If they would have upgraded me based on their mistake it would have been a fantastic stay, The initial discussion and suggestion that I did a mistake by not reading the description even tho the pics showed the bigger room, was just a bad start for a great stay

A potential SCAM

I just wish I had paid more attention to what some of the other reviews said about Odyssey. It was a terrible stay for my family and I. There also seems to be a scam with the rooms. What you see in the pictures is NOT what you will get. Really, it was just a terrible experience through and through.

Not recomended for female guests.

The experience was really bad and I would seldom if ever say this about any accommodation in Johannesburg. Apartments of this nature needs to have 24 hour access to skilled management. This was not the case. Noise by other guests is not managed appropriately and the security guard is your last line of defense when things go wrong. They are unapologetically unprofessional and not even close to expectations.

the worst place ever never to go back

Bad security, worst service that anybody can have plus i was robbed at gun pointed right at the gate nobody did nothing to help because they took forever to open the gate (superior orders) so that allowed the thieves time to do their job, they took my phone, watch and some shopping bags i made that had shoes, sneakers, that was a inside job because i could track on my laptop and see where was my cell phone (iphone) and was inside property on the other side that i was staying and i even said and show that the police but nothing was done, funny thing they even ask me where that place was, yeah i'm the tourist, well i have check out and so far they didn't even return my security deposit it has past more than 15 days i already sent e-mails asking that but no even a word, yeah this was the worst place i ever been in my life besides being robbed thanks God i'm alive thats the only think i can see good in all this

The place is very beautiful and i enjoyed my 1 night stay. The only thing which it didnt suit me well was the holding deposit because they said is for breakages but when u check in no 1 goes in with you to check if all items are there on ur arrival but they inspect when u check out.

Great place to stay

The check in was not brilliant as email confirming my booking was only received by Odyssey a few minutes before I arrived... So I had no room booked at the start.. The manager Debbie worked her magic and I got a room in the end. The Apartment was beautiful. Very clean, quiet and very modern.

Worst experience ever

My family’s stay was very very horrible, horrible customer service, power outbreak, lift(elevator) not working for days, only one air conditioning working.
Please stay away from this property.
They saw my complaints and didn’t care to answer.
I have never seen such in a 4 star hotel . Owner of property needs a fresh management, if not this property will crash ..

Check-in was awful, I had paid upfront but the lady could not find our booking. Eventually I saw my name on a printed page lying on her desk. The Hotel is very noisy, Friday Morning we were woken up to staff screaming and shouting to one another at 7am. Friday evening, when returning to the hotel we found the door open with the keys inside...the cleaners left it for anyone to help themselves! Then, when checking out the hotel has the cheek to check that we didn't steal anything (after leaving the room open for all and Sundry)!!!!

The room was neat and clean and the location was good. I guess it is a cheap hotel so you get what you pay for.

Will give this place a miss in the future

Not very accommodating of international guests, no flexibility of early check in or late check out - these had to be by prior arrangement at high cost. No one is available to assist in the evenings - I needed a hairdryer, which I found strange that the room did not include this, as it standard in every hotel that I have stayed in. No one could assist me until the next morning, and I was late for my appointment as result of this. No carpets were in the room, in the middle of winter, it is not pleasant to get out of bed and place your feet on cold tiles. No complementary water. Driving in through the security gate late one evening I was tailgated, the security at the gate did nothing to stop the car behind me and question them. Not good in a city where hijackings are rife. Was not good value for money at all. On the positive side, it is centrally located and given that it is a fairly new building, the apartment was clean.

Safe and secure

Despite being assured we could have late check out, I was told by another member of staff that we could not stay unless we paid. I told her that I was surprised, after the last two nights we had put up with leaking air conditioners in both the main bedroom and lounge. Just as a matter of good will, I would have thought she would let us check out later. She then said that we could stay till 12. I persisted and she said she would phone the manager.
I returned to the room and proceeded to wash and dry some clothes, as I thought I had plenty of time. Yet again another call from reception to say the contractors would be arriving shortly and we needed to vacate the room ( no mention of the managers response).
Such a lack of communication and empathy.

Not what was advertised

There is a problem with customer service here, I met this front desk staff with attitude like I shouldn't be there. Most certainly the rudest person I ever met in hospitality business.

They shouldn't advertise a gym and swimming pool cos they don't really exist there, completely non functional.

A great deal - 50% weekend!

A good weekend at the 50% rate.
But wi-fi was basically non existent.
Would have liked 2 chairs for eating as well as 2 bed side lights and tables.
Perfect situation for our weekend visit to family in Morningside. Did not know we would have to pay a refundable deposit upon arrival. We were told it would be refunded after the room was checked and an email would immediately be sent to confirm the refund. More than 24 hours later and no email received. Cause for concern perhaps?
