Friendly staff and a clean place to stay.Got a generator for load shedding which worked perfectly when the power went out,The only problem was that we waited quite a long time for our dinner to be served.

Everything was in order. Clean bedding and fresh bathrooms. The Housekeeping was done well too. My Son's sleeper couch was comfortable and cosy blankets provided for Him, which He loved. It was the highlight of His stay. He loved that He didn't have to share with Mommy. Traveling with Mids can be challenging and demanding but they made sure we're good and comfortable. I did send My Son a couple of times to the reception and He got help. NB: Only challenge was no phone. Having to go all the way up there for help was a turn off. They need phones if not they need to answer their whatsapp line,which they hardly responded to.

Ideally situated...just a stones throw away from Sandton City. We had a pleasant stay... although we checked in late (around 18:30), staff was welcoming and quite helpful. Rooms were clean and neat. The beds were comfy and so was the sofa bed. The hotel was quiet and peaceful and my kids felt quite safe being there.

Maybe my timing was wrong but this is one property i will never book gor myself or my clients (I'm a travel agent). We arrived at 19:00 and it was pouring rain. I cheked in and asked the check in lady for assistance with my bags, she simply handed me an umbrella and said i could return it when i was done. Although there was a trolley and porter. rooms a dark and definetly has fleas. We checked out an hour later but was not once asked why. I wrote an extensive letter to management about my experience with no response received at all 3 days later. They obviously do not care for customer relations. I have stayed previously at Courtyard Rosebank and the staff there try their best, maybe try that property if you want to use a City Lodge property. Avoid this one.

On arrival they could not find the booking even when the hotel voucher was presented. They finally were able to sort that out. Then when it was time for bed the sheets were dirty, i don't mean marked, there was sand , hair , flakes of something. I dare not actually think what. Further to this they say scan the QR code to order food, this is not actually an easy process. You have to phone front desk from your mobile phone (no phones in the room). Then they can't bring you the meal you need to go and collect it. The room is so dated i thought i took a time machine to 1996. its shocking that this place manages to exist. Stay somewhere else, there are plenty more options in Sandton. Be warned.

I stayed here for two nights with business in the Sandton area. The property was well located and the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was also large and comfortable. Wifi was quick and with good signal. The only negative was that there was no fridge in the room. Excellent value for money overall.
