    Review by hotel critic

    My recent stay at the Residence exceeded every expectation I had, leaving me utterly impressed with its unparalleled quality and attention to detail. The spacious private garden suite was a sanctuary of comfort, featuring a delightful sitting area and a charming patio that allowed us to immerse ourselves in the serene gardens right outside our door. I particularly appreciated the luxury of the electric kettle and tea facilities-perfect for enjoying a quiet morning brew while soaking in the tranquil surroundings. The dining experience was exceptional, with breakfast served beside an open fire, creating a cozy atmosphere that invited relaxation. Lastly, the warmth and professionalism of the staff truly elevated our stay; their willingness to ensure our comfort was evident in every interaction, including the late checkout that allowed us to savor our last moments in this remarkable hotel. The Residence is undoubtedly a haven of luxury and comfort, and I look forward to returning on my next visit to Johannesburg.
