Great Hotel and Location
A beautiful hotel that is so colorful and artsy—we loved it! The only negative is the bathroom. It just had a curtain to pull for privacy for the tub and sinks, which was strange and inconvenient when your spouse gets up in the middle of the night and doesn’t want to wake you. The bathroom also had a one foot gap in the wall, allowing any one who was standing at the door to the hallway to look in. Why do so many hotel bathrooms not have complete privacy with normal doors from the bedroom? Other than the bathroom issue the hotel is fabulous, the staff friendly and helpful, and the location safe and so fun with restaurants and shops just steps from the hotel.

Safety is of prime concern in South Africa, and African Pride is in an island of security in Melrose Arch along with a group of stores, a mall, and many restaurants. An easy drive to Rosebank Sunday Market and the Apartheid Museum. An hour to Maropeng and Prretoria. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed the hotel very much, it was lovely inside and out. I especially enjoyed walking through the hotel doors and finding such a wonderful night life. There were many places to eat, and a live screen TV on the square made it fun to watch the soccer tournament in wide lounge chairs. Walking around the area was very entertaining as there were many sculptures and storefronts to check out. I would stay there again!

Staff are wonderful
The staff at this hotel are wonderful. Before I stayed, I requested an airport transfer and they delivered. Check in was welcoming and efficient as was check out. The location of this hotel is great. It is in a safe area with restaurants surrounding and the Melrose Arch shopping centre a short walk away. Rooms are large, quirky and lovely. The only criticism is that the grout in the shower cubical was mouldy and the hot water took forever to appear. Rooms could possibly do with a deep clean and a little more maintenance but I recommend this hotel for its welcoming staff, quirkiness and location.
