Hotels near Excell Park, Johannesburg

I can see that this was a great place to stay in its heyday but has declined over time. Positives are it’s location, friendly and accommodating staff (which one would expect in the hospitality industry) and a reasonable price. Negatives that I experienced were that the place was well worn, tired and in need of some investment. Examples are, worn carpets, hole in the dining room table cloth, frayed bath towels, basin not draining quickly due to matted hair in the strainer (fixed same day), broken suitcase rack (fixed same day), evidence of a dampness problem in the plaster on the wall near the window, extractor fan in the bathroom is dark brown with years of dust on the grill in the ceiling, no Barman on duty - was served by reception staff though. Apart from a buffet breakfast there are no meal facilities at all, not even for a light snack. I have to wonder whether this is actually a hotel or just a conference venue with accommodation. If it is indeed a hotel then this is definitely not the four star establishment despite having four stars next to their name on their website. Would I stay here again? Possibly, but only because it’s convenient & I know what to expect.

Very good, has stayed at Marriott Hotel many times

The hotel is beautiful and situated on a gorgeous golf course very close to Cresta Shopping Centre - however it feels like you are in the country. I checked in for 3 nights - looking forward to baths each night as I have only showers at thome - and was warmly welcomed by the reception team (not my first stay there so I was happy to return). I was given a room close to the pool and at first, all appeared well. The room is well appointed and very spacious with a gorgeous bath and shower. The bath however leaked out all the water and despite adjusting the pop-up plug, the water loss was significant and I eventually gave up the idea of a bath. By the way, the washbasins also leaked out all the water. I then reported it and apparently it was 'fixed' by the maintenance team the following day. Needless to say, the bath still leaked ( but slightly less this time). I again reported it for fixing the next day. The next day, I was moved to a gorgeous suite, the Ernie Els suite, which was truly lovely and much appreciated. I couldnt wait to have a bath! I ran the bath and went to make a cup of tea. I arrived back in the bathroom and .... voila! no water in the bath. Exactly the same problem AGAIN! Both washbasins also leaked by the way as I was trying to revive a bouquet of flowers in one of them and found after two minutes, the basin was empty. A few other things were wrong too - the gas fire in the room wouldnt automatically ignite - you needed a lighter (I'm a non-smoker). The curtain had come off the rail. The TV in the bedroom would not switch off and also only had a very soft volume level that could not be increased. On a positive note, the breakfasts were awesome and the general staff really helpful, professional and service orientated. The maintenance team however, needs to be challenged on the plumbing/water losses in the rooms. So I never did get my bath that I so desperately wanted in all the 3 nights I stayed there...

From the check in to the day we left, it was one thing after the other. 1. The team that was checking us in was not consistent, the one half was not willing to go the extra mile to solve our request (being moved from a 2 single bed, room to a double bed, room) and the other half made promises that they could not keep (said that we would be moved the following day, without checking for availability first). 2. My colleague asked for the iron numerous times over the period of our stay, and it NEVER came, she had to go get it herself. 3. We ordered room service, and the food came after an hour plus, AFTER i made an enquiry about my order, which was when they were only assembling it. I do get that it might take time however communication on ETA is important. 4. When the food eventually came, there was no cutlery and no condiments. I could write more, but you get the picture.

Stunning Datenight❤️ Absolutely wonderful evening with fantastic service and exquisite food❤️ We arrived, hoping that they would have a table for us, as we had not made a reservation 😳 They were absolutely fantastic, showed us to the best table that was reserved...and made us feel absolutely welcome, even though the restaurant was full 😊 We ordered a yummy wine whilst listening the fun, LIVE music and thought that it would take a while for our order.. We were happily surprised, when our food arrive in record time🌹😊 I ordered the beef Espetada, rare, with their seasonal veggies. 🌹 It was delightful and perfectly prepared🔥 My husband ordered the Pork ribs and wow😍 Equally succulent, melt in your mouth, exquisite 🌹 We finished off the night with their delicious chocolate brownies and Ice cream and a second bottle of wine🔥 Our server, Sharon was respectful attentive, thoughtful and extremely helpful🌹Loved the way she looked after us❤️ I would highly recommend their restaurant. Ps...cannot wait to experience their Datenight, Couple special 😊😍😊

Located approx. 30-45 mins from JNB airport, apposite Ferndale Mall. Room is definately VERY small, ok for a stay as single, for couples it would probably challenge your marriage :-). Aircon, tv with limited channels on the table, why not put it on the wall, strong wifi, coffee/tea, safe in the bottom of the cupboard. Bed was comfy. Finally a hotel who offers smoking rooms, however its in need of a scrub and the chair should be removed, its dirty and it would make some space. No water provided !? Bathroom is also very small, soap dispensers, good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Cleaning and towels provided every day. Breakfast served from 6:30 (7am in weekends) good selection, fresh and tasty. Premises well kept and clean. I found staff to be very friendly and helpful, and my stay was comfortable. I am still waiting for my invoice the check out lady promised me.

The apartment was clean and very spacious, we enjoyed our stay there, however there was not enough towels for 4 guests.
