Good ROI and super location
No nonsense stay for Business travellers or backpackers. Clean property with a small seating area, that also serves as a bar, right at the reception. Spacious Bathrooms that may be old but are properly functional. Balconies attached to the room for getting some fresh air. Good bang for your buck if you are not looking to spend lavishly just for the night stays. Safe surroundings with plentiful restaurants and coffee shops within a 5 minute walk.

Reception staff need improvement
Aircondition wasn’t functioning, loadshedding was also a problem and the hotel doesn’t provide alternative for the guests during these times. The guest is left on his own to remain in the dark rather than turning on a generator to keep their guest comfortable.
Basically, friendly are most of the staffs, from the cleaning staff to the bar‘s.
The reception staff need improvement on their customer service. However, a tall guy in the reception was very friendly and attended to my needs and as him do the same from guest that came from America but the ladies couldn’t be bordered. The ladies are just their for their wages and not to assist the guest.
The park attendant, was a pain inbrünstigere ass! Always wanting money after getting you a space to park and I don’t know if the hotel is aware.
The night wasn’t always quiet as you hear the noises of people ( definitely not guest) around midnight which disturb my sleep.
The area was very okay and accessible to many local stores and shopping mall-Norwood shopping mall.

I have stayed in many different hotels in South Africa. This is the worst 4 star hotel I have ever been to. Here are my reasons :
1. There were no spoons in the room to make coffee or tea.
2. They placed sachets of the cheapest type of coffee in the room.
3. There were no bath towels in the room.
4. There was a loud drilling sound. Extremely unpleasant experience. I was advised there is a factory nearby. So this is a long term issue.
5. Parking is horrible. I didnt feel safe parking car on road.
6. Door leading to balcony was old and very difficult to close.
7. Very noisey, with traffic and I was apparently on the quieter side of the hotel.
I would suggest management also train staff to double check rooms before allowing check in.
I checķed out the same evening. I just told front desk I had a family emergency as i was not in the mood to get into details as to my unhappiness.
This hotel should be downgraded to a 1 star or 2 star hotel. I have stayed in much better 1 star and 2 star hotels in South Africa.
And to top it all off, I was called the next day with a staff member saying they noticed 2 towels missing, implying I took it.
When i saw their number pop up on my phone, I thought they were calling to check on my stay but sadly it was to accuse a guest of stealing towels which was not there in the first place.

Good value for the money. It is a contemporary resort. It has friendly service and a nice little restaurant on the premises.
What I cared least for was the neighborhood and noise.

The Room was clean and neat.
. however there was no water in the room. When we request water it was closed.
The shower drain is blocked. I forgot to mention it to the personnel. They need to give it attention. The parking area in the basin was really scary. I wont recommend that to anybody.
The personnel was fantastic. both when we checked in and when we checked out the following morning. The breakfast was really delicious.
overall we enjoyed the stay.

Stop over
Our stay at Ascot, was comfortable. We had the standard rooms off the main entrance which were initially noisy due to the close proximity to local restaurants, this soon quitened as the night progressed. Breakfast was lovely and the staff most helpful. We found the hotel to be good value for money.
