The stay was excellent, only the challenge was the TV that was not clear with stars.

The staff is very friendly and always willing to help. The parking was secured and very safe too.

Parking at the bottom where I'm enjoyed park there, due to the pillars the security was thereto assist with the parking and can you imagine that both male and female was helping to park. We're used to male doing that but it was amazing to see a lady helping directing me to park and other members too.

It's my wish that the Hotel convey my thanks and appreciations to them all.

Neat, squeezed, and parking nightmare

The place was neat and clean. However, the shower and bathroom are too small. As a couple, we couldn't take a shower together, and the fan noise in the bathroom was unbearable. Overall, it's a nice place for just one night; staying longer would make you feel quite suffocated because the room and everything else is small.

The parking and lift situation was quite inconvenient. The basement parking was closed, requiring me to use an alternative parking area that was further away from the lift. Additionally, the service lift was not available for guest use. As a result, I had to navigate long distances with my bags, making multiple trips to the car. This caused significant inconvenience and took away from my relaxation time.

It has gated underground parking lots with guards. The room itself was ok and clean. Fairly small but manageable however the bathroom is relatively small, but warm water came out instantly. Although I had no breakfast and dinner booked, I could easily go and pay it after finished.
Somehow they made a small mistake about the reservation of the room. So that someone else knocked at my door in the middle of the night what has cost my sleep. That was not ok.

? Breakfast included

Our stay was great. The only problem was that I booked for 4 people. 2 Adults and 2 Children and on the confirmation letter it said breakfast included. However when we went for breakfast (we were 2 adults and 1 child) there was only 2 on the breakfast list and i had to pay for 1 extra. The breakfast was delicious.

A pleasant Stay that offers great value

Hotel 224 is a good value accommodation option that is a pleasant experience nothing more - if this part of the city is where you need to be then you cannot beat what this Hotel provides for what it costs. rooms are small but comfortable and have all that you would require. The Bathroom is tight and the door will not stay open unless you put something there, so you feel a little claustrophobic when you inside. the complimentary Shuttle is a great feature.

Upon arrival I tried to pay for the room, as it was new years it was very busy at reception, the gentleman said to not worry about it this second. When I checked out the next morning, I returned my room key and asked how much I owed. The gentleman charged me R25 for the parking which I payed. I asked about the bill he said it's taken care of. I assumed it was automatically deducted as I made my credit card details available apon booking. Afterwards they called me realising the bill wasn't settled. They treated me a criminal for a mistake on their behalf. I settled the bill as soon as they contacted me. I contacted many people on their adress book in this regard without any response. It's unacceptable that a hotel would treat it's clients this way. Very disappointed in Hotel 224 and its failure to follow up on this case.

The hotel offers complemetary breakfast and I liked that. Howver, I had a very bad experience. In the room that I had just checked in, two drunk gentlemen accessed the room at night. I was shocked when they unlocked the dooor and came in. Fortunately I was still awake and dressed up properly. They then advised that one of them had been booked in the room the previous day and was supposed to have been allocated another room that day. He had not been checked out of the room and he still has access and had left his bag in the room ( which I had not seen). Fortunately, the gentlemen did not have any evil intentions even though they were drunk. The issue was sorted out by the hotel. However, I thought the Hotel should have compensated me somehow for that unfortunate incident. I may not book in the hotel next time.

Loved it but smallest room ever

Hotel 224 is very safe. There is security everywhere in the hotel starting from a parking lot. The elevator is operated by a room key, so no one from outside can enter hotel and come to your room without your knowledge. You will have to go to the reception to collect your visitors because they cannot operate the elevator to come up to your room. This is good security.

If you book through Hotels.Com, make sure you e-mail them a confirmation e-mail because they are gonna need it. That's the only hotel that ever needed a confirmation from me but they have a strong Wi-Fi, so, just make sure that your tablet, cell phone, or laptop is on for you to access your e-mail so that you can be checked in.

Water is hot, tea/coffee, bar fridge, breakfast was great, and staff was helpful. This place is 5 minutes walking distance from the Union building of South Africa, banks, Sancardia mall, police station, gas stations, clubs, hospitals, and scientific institutes.

Negative
Smallest hotel room ever. There is literally no space in the room. No walking space in the room, so if you are planning to spent a longer time and probably host visitors, you will have to think twice. American hotels have plenty of space, and if you are coming from other countries on international flight and a lot of luggage, just be warned.

THE HOTEL IS VIRTUALLY WALKING DISTANCE TO ALL CENTRAL PRETORIA SITES SO I MANAGED TO SEE SEVERAL MUSEUMS AS WELL AS THE LOCAL ZOO - THE GORILLAS THERE ARE MAGNIFICENT. THE HOTEL STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL AND SORTED OUT ALLTHE SMALL ISSUES I HAD PROMPTLY AND EFFICIENTLY. THE SECURITY WAS VERY GOOD AS WELL AND I STORED MY LUGGAGE THERE FOR HALF A DAY WUTHOUT ANY CONCERNS. THE OUTSIDE BAR SERVED GOOD FOOD AND DRINKS AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. EVEN MY LOCAL SOUTH AFRICAN HOSTS WERE IMPORESSED WITH THIS WHEN THEY TRIED IT ON MY SUGGESTION. I RECOMMEND THE STEAK SANDWICH AND FRENCH FRIES AT ONLY 59.00 ZAR.

I should have known by the price….

The hotel room is the size of a shoebox. This place looks like a tenement on top of a dive bar. I feel like I was tricked by the high reviews for this place. Is it well situated? Sure. But is it nice? Not at all. If you can bear a very humble shoebox for one night, ok. If you are looking to actually enjoy your time in Pretoria and stay in your room for anything other than just sleeping… spend a few more bucks and go some place that has a real door on the bathroom. And never in a million would I bring my children here… adults only, in cases of emergency w/ no other accommodation option.
