The hotel is located in Sandton near the major shopping mall, the room rates are very reasonable. It is a very comfortable place with the staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel is also family friendly the way rooms are designed.
The hotel allows people to go in the pool at all times of day and night making it very noisy especially when people went in at 1.30 am. The concierge is not very with it so make sure you double check what they do. We...More

Hey
To answer your questions:
1. The hotel is safe to stay with family and I’ve seen families in the breakfast buffet.
2. Room is clean
3. Bathroom is clean
4. Mandella Square is a nearby place that have lots of restaurants and a mall. You can choose the healthy menu that you like since lots of varieties are available there. You can walk. However, it wouldn’t be safe to walk till there in the evening.
5. It’s a big and a double story hotel.
6. That hotel is considered the best in that area.
7. I was able to pay with my debit card in the hotel and in a restaurant in Mandella Square
Johannesburg has one of the best Safaris. You will enjoy that with your family when you experience the wild life in a much closer way. I loved the Safari experience.
I hope I have answered your questions. I wish you a great trip with your family.
