Golden Comfort in City of Gold.
This place was lovely, I felt like a valued customer and would stay here again when i return to Joburg. Joannah on reception has an angelic nature and excellent communication. Resturant team were immaculate and helpful. Felly took care of cleaning my room and was always extremely polite.

A diamond in the city!!
Had a great stay! The staff is professional but they could be friendlier. It would be nice if they had complimentary condoms in the room. Also, we didn't know which number to dial for reception..it was not displayed on the bedside. Overall: it's a great hotel!
