Sandton Lodge Rivonia

Almost impossible to find due to poor signage and contortd route. Very basic facilities - only one grey towel in the bathroom; had to request a kettle and a hairdryer. No room service avaiable on arrival at 10.30pm - despite advertising availabilty until 11.30pm. Buffet breakfast very poor in terms of both quality and service (non-existent). Stayed one night and moved on to a Southern Sun hotel which was far better value.

Location convenient to Rivonia business areas. Quiet location in otherwise noisy city area. Garden setting, large comfortable room with underfloor heating.

Service could be slow on occasion. No Rooibos tea in rooms. Playing pop radio station in dining area rather than classy music.
