Great hotel, excellent location with a modern sharp style. The staff were super helpful and the rooms were great. I think all standard rooms have an interconnecting door to the adjacent room, so convenient for families but might be a negative if you have noise/security concerns. The superior rooms have no such interconnection, so might be worth paying for an upgrade if you it’s an issue for you. Great price, only a stones throw from all the restaurants in Melrose Arch. It is located just outside the gated part of the Arch complex, but this shouldn’t put you off.

Nothing, it was a great hotel, especially at the price point.

I really like the Capital hotels, i stayed in this one (melrose), in sandton and in rosebank and I like this the most! Staff is super friendly, price for what you get is really good, gym is good, and i really enjoyed having the shopping mall in front with so many options available! the apartment was very well equipped.

I like everything, but just to say something i would recommend to add to the rooms: a blanket for the sofa/coach a mini dish soap and laundry soap to do at least one or two washes! a nesspreso machine

It’s proximity to Melrose Arch, very professional reception staff, big lounge- kitchen open plan and serenity of the place. Lastly general cleanliness of the rooms and cleaning team does an amazing job. Thank you for having me. I’m sold you’ll definitely see me again very soon.

Nothing..just a recommendation… perhaps a change of closet door hinges for soft close similarly to the kitchen cupboards ones, current ones turn to bang terribly when closing. But that doesn’t take away from the beauty of the place.

The ability to upgrade ur stay/room to. 2 bed apartment much cheaper,rooms are always fresh and neat,location is directly across melrose arch,staff always wiling to give late check out when available,i like the water bottle top ups each day and left in fridge

Not major but just things to make it perfect,The air cons have a mouldy smell they should service them more often,the exit with vehicle is very narrow if u have a large car/trailer u can see all the marks of cars that have hit that wall

The facilities and utensils are excellent in the panthouse. Service at reception OK was almost threatened that booking was suppose to be canceled because we didn't check in on time but because we fully paid it wasn't. Rather send a sms or email when u see a late check in to advise. Imagine if I had No where to go late at night.

Myself and my husband got sick after our stay there we think the beacon that was served was faulty or off. We had stomach flu and had to visit the Dr. We suggest the food gets checked please. Either than that we really enjoyed our stay and the staff at the diner where extremely Profesional and nice.

Cleanliness: cleaning and linen change was done everyday.

The place was a bit too noisy and clouded the first few days I was there, possibly because of some junior football teams they were hosting.

The staff were amazing, very friendly and efficient. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was good too.

The fridge in the room had a constant humming noise so needed to be switched off, the aircon wasn't working but was fixed by maintenance and the TV channels were not great - there wasn't anything worth watching other than News and Sport.

Clean. Comfortable rooms. Warm staff. Hearty breakfast.

I was not informed that breakfast is not included in the room rate. So when I finished my breakfast, just was surprised to be given a bill - poor communication on this part.

It has various of facilities, and we were able to have easy access once checked-in.

Other rooms are not build-in the hotel when we go outside from our room to restaurant we could feel cold. My room 124, didn’t have a thrower blanket. May please available that for clients, also gowns. May you please provide food menus in the rooms.
