We enjoyed staying at Michelangelo Hotel. Big room, big bathroom and very helpful people taking care of all our needs (we also found a greek man in the personell speaking our language!). We enjoyed an excellent breakfast and we loved the swimming pool area . We also found great restaurants at the plaza next to the hotel, Delicious food! more

During our recent vacation to South Africa we stayed ay this wonderful hotel for an overnight stay on two separate occassions. The rooms were large, bright and clean and most importantly ready to check-in after our overseas flight.. Large updated bathrooms with a wonderful walk-in shower and separate tub. The hotel staff was very efficient and friendly. Any requst was... more

The rooms are old but this hotel has the best location in Sandton. Its pricey and bit pretentious, but service is on par with other hotels in the area. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant though, there is too many great restaurants in the area! more

The Michelangelo is described as one of the foremost luxury hotels in the Sandton area of Johannesburg. It enjoys a good location off Nelson Mandela Square with good and easy access to all the shopping malls, bars and restaurants and appears most suited to the business/professional traveller, rather than those looking for family accommodation or a more personal level of... more

This property which WAS a GREAT HOTEL at one time is READY for a TOTAL OVERHAUL.... Staff requires more training, Service is BAD, Property is OKAY, needs urgent re-furbishment, The internet vouchers need to be collected from the lobby desk without which you can't connect, Food is OKAY.. Just a AVERAGE HOTEL.. Surely not the worth the price we paid...... more

We had some reservations about staying at the Michelangelo based on Trip Advisor reviews. We ended up staying here because it was the only major hotel in Johannesburg which would guarantee us two interconnecting rooms for our family. The hotel has a great location for the first time visitor. It is part of large shopping and entertainment complex in the... more

Besides its excellent location, this hotel does very little to justify its price. Service was very poor and not helpful. Rooms seem old and not specially big. Asked for a late check-out which was denied and instead offered to SELL me a tour of Jo'burg. Definitely won't be staying again. more

This hotel looked good on the surface, but the service was really lacking. The hotel messed up and had 2 reservations for us. In trying to figure this out, the clerk gave me a room to begin with, then took it back and gave me a different room. all the while acting as if I was messing up her day.... more
