Recent reviews
Very good 8,0 From 138 reviews
Overall the hotel was not bad. When we had dinner on Friday evening, it was unbearable to eat in such a cantankerous restaurant. That made us not to enjoy the meal at all. The shuttle driver between the hotel and Nelson Mandela Square had such a negative attitude. Could hardly greet passengers and open doors for us. If this person works for me, I would get rid of him on the spot. Has no clue what customer service is all about.
All was good, the walk to my room was quite long though. Also the hotel would like for guests to reduce their carbon footprint, however reception prints 4 pages of information that could be printed back to back and easily be reduced to 2 pages, as in most cases the extra pages is a single sentence that didn't fit on the first page. Also a complete page for a drivers license copy, when this could easily be stored on their system.
Our stay at the Marriott Balalaika Sandton was wonderful. Great service, the check-in too less than 5min. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I didn't like joint single bed to makeup the King size bed, would have loved to get a proper King size bed. But overall our stay was great!
Took too long waiting at check in counter Almost one hour to get the room key
I enjoyed our stay at the Balalaika hotel. Well priced and great staff.
