I have stayed here several times in the past on business and have had mixed feelings as the rooms didn't seem to justify the high price. Particularly in the past the top floor wasn't of the same standard as the other floors and was mainly for airline staff and overflow guests. Thankfully it is now the same standard as the... More

I spent one night at the Michelangelo and was blown away by the service and the standards. Firstly, the best part about it is that it's smack bang in the middle of Johannesburg, you really can't get a better location. The service was friendly and professional and the room was amazing, with views over the city. I had breakfast in... More

The hotel is well located and convenient with the mall attached to it. The services were mediocre and keep informing them of your time of arrival time and time again to ensure that your room is ready. Though they wanted to charge an extra half day charge for a 2 hour later departure, they were unable to provide us with... More

Excellent location, generally good service and friendly ambience. The hotel has allready a few years, and that is evident in the rooms where carpets and furniture needs to be renewed. This hotel also needs a richer breakfast, little variety and juices should be much better. More

Very nice efficient hotel but just too overpowering, I do not need anyone to press the elevator button for me. Rooms very clean and functional plus if you face into Mandela Square very nice. Food was average but choice of fruit and juices was good. A bit overpriced for what you get and maybe just beginning to look its age More

We stayed for two nights with a tour group. Room was comfortable with effective temperature control. Breakfast was good, if not spectacular. Location in Sandton is extremely convenient, just a block or two from the Gautrain station, offering rapid service direct to the airport. One feature of the hotel we especially appreciated was the "residents lounge." a place you could... More
