    The facilities at this hotel were a pleasant surprise. Though budget, there were toiletries provided, breakfast at an additional charge of ZAR 110 and there is a full lunch and dinner menu too. The bar is fairly stocked and there is a pool as well. We watched the Rugby World Cup in the dining area (TV is faulty as it kept blacking out). Location is close to Sandton City. The hotel is gleaming and the rooms are spotless - kudos to the cleaning staff.
