Guest Reviews

Orion did an excellent upgrade to this Hotel,nothing was left out.Go and enjoy lunch here, real 5 Star food.Everything is really well done here,their Management is not scared to sort out anything.The area is really rising to be the best in Johannesburg.

Travelling on business to Johannesburg , decided to settle at a hotel close to the cbd. The atmosphere was very good reception staff friendly and always ready to help. The rooms were not bad at very good value for money. Beds big and comfy.

Came here on a Saturday for drinks with a friend and to watch the Kaizer Chiefs vs Pirates game. The staff was very friendly. And their wine selection was superb. Love the place...

The property is in the middle of the city center. It’s a walking distance to everything, banks ,restaurants ,shopping and lots of beauty shops.The front seat was professional and helpful, breakfast was very good and the wait staffs cater to all your needs!Free parking and internet too.Will be back again.

I enjoyed the time I spent at this hotel. Nice hotel, comfortable bed, unfortunately there is no air conditioner, so you feel hot at night when it’s summer but it’s just a detail, you will enjoy your breakfast. Nice service... 1
