• Rhodes2025 (1/5): Not a safe space for women and children. Perhaps men. I got physically assaulted by staff member. - Nothing. My experience was traumatic. I got physically assaulted by staff members/security guard infrobt of my child. I'm in the process of initiating a lawsuit. My child is very traumatized, we wouldn't be allowed in our flat because the security guard couldn't get hold of the hotel owner. The owner did nothing about our attack. Please don't go there.

• Lehlohonolo (8/5): Very good -
• Simelane (8/5): Very good -
• Luis (10/5): I will for sure stay at the same place when I go back to Johannesbourg. Trust me you will have the most welcoming ever. - First of all, the location is right in the middle of the city. The apartment is very big, it has a massive balcony where you can have BBQ with your friends. The room is very clean with nice American kitchen, bed is comfy, toilet is clean complete with everything. However, what I like from this place is the owner, Vincent. He was very helpful even before my trip. He provided all information that I needed. I was worried after my flight was delayed to 10 pm, however he said don’t worry my friend McDonald (who is an Uber driver) will pick you up from the airport. The next day early in the morning he already turned up to the apartment and asked if everything was fine and told me what I should do and shouldn’t. To be honest, I have travelled to more than 60 countries but haven’t met an owner of a hotel or hostel like Vincent 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. I would also like to thank McDonald for taking care of me during my stay in Johannesburg. N/A

• Sakura (1/5): The place was unsafe for family and the area was very dangerous, due to the presence of drug abuse. - Regarding the employee who was communicating with me, he was good. Unfortunately, it was a very bad hotel and area, because the place was unsafe for family and the area was very dangerous, due to the presence of drug abuse. I could not inform the official out of fear. we left the hotel calmly and could not ask for the remaining amount to be refund, because I only stayed with place for one day and I could not stay longer because of what I saw. Posters were put up stating “No Smoking”, but the residents of the hotel did not comply and the staff did not reprimand or warn them.
• Khumbudzo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nsovo (8/5): Very good -
• Nsovo (8/5): Great place, highly recommend. - I loved that the signing in process was very easy, the owner communicated all the sign in details effeciently and on time. The apartment was very clean and every facility was working like it should. We always had hot water, the TV was always working properly and also the Wi-Fi was great. The kitchen has most things I needed. I didn't like that it is a little far from shops. If you don't have a car everything has to be done using bolts/ubers. There aren't many shops within a walking distance. Secondly, there was just: one toilet paper, one small shampoo bottle, one used small lotion, one used small shower gel, very little dish washing liquid, worn out kitchen sponge and no pot scraper. Given that I had signed in for 3 nights, having 3 bottles for each night would have been a great thing. I would have appreciated having a wooden spoon in the kitchen.
• Nyiko (10/5): Exceptional - The host made sure my stay was super. He made sure he was always available for assistance. Thanks Vincent. The apartment was clean.
• Bryan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kioko (9/5): My friends and I had a great time - Everything Nothing

• Biyela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mthembu (10/5): My second home - No noise .just a walk to most places e.g. Newtown Juntion.Ghandi Square and it was safe to travel at night I loved everything
• Lusanda (8/5): Very good -
• Shumirai (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sphiwe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sipho (10/5): Exceptional - The room was amazing everything included inside the room you did not have to request for anything it was a complete room with all the necessary things that we use daily where always available. I cant say I was impressed
• Charles (7/5): The hotel was great, from the host down to the stuff everything was just great and it felt like home - The room was spacious and had almost everything you'd need and how quite the whole place was. The stuff there was also good, coming to make sure that everything is well and also the host met my needs by allowing my early arrival at the place. Nothing actually, besides the norm of load shedding and the water crisis in Johannesburg which is kinda not on anyone but the state government. Everything was perfectly fine.
