Location is good
Please remember to take pillows. Blanket and everything you need . The pillows and bedding were horrible . Very very bad .disgusting
The check in was seamless, love the fact that we had to use our face ID to get in and go out of the property without any hassle. The apartment was spacious and clean.
Cutlery is very limited but for 2 people we can manage, an addition to what's already there would be better.
Very secure property with 24 hour security at the entrance who were polite & friendly.. Apartment itself was very spacious, bright, clean and had great views to the northern city suburbs.. Confortable bed and a seemingly never ending supply of hot water.. Good value for money..
There were some minor maintenence issues upon arrival however the host resolved these as quickly as they could.. If they had been reported by the previous guests I am confident they would have been attended to before my arrival..

Comfortable bed, great bath & shower and a seemingly never ending supply of hot water.. Property was well maintained and represented very good value for money..
Alas I was unable to take advantage of the inviting looking pool as it was winter !!
The apartment was everything we needed and more. ✨🥂 From the beautiful space to the peaceful luxury, every detail felt like a little taste of the life we deserve. 🤎🏡✨

The property was in a great location, very comfortable, and overall an amazing place to stay.
Nothing worth noting.Everything met expectations.
Top location top facilities
On a 9 day stay I had one day without internet… other than that everything else was top.

Beautiful well appointment
Dealing with someone in the States which you can't call. Though their response wasn't bad at all. I just had to wait longer for authorisation of being allowed to leave bag..😭
It was very nice and easy to access
I did not like that I can stay for a week without change of sheets and towels at least should have told me all this when booking . Even if I wanted to wash for myself and all . No hoover yet there is a carpet in the bedroom yet you only do light cleaning . This needs to change also the security needs to see if one has access as the choice of words of one security guard was not good at all as he treated me like a thief .
Je m’avais pas droit au petit dejeuner
I loved the view. No breakfast services. The Wi-Fi network was poor. nice spacious apartment with balcony. great that there is a washing machine and dryer. Great place to stay for your money value.

Então, enviamos todos os documentos necessários com antecedência para fazerem o cadastro , mas chegamos no local e ficamos esperando por mais de uma hora para ser liberado. A alegação foi falta de acesso ao sistema. Quanto ao apartamento , nada que desabone, o apartamento é amplo, limpo, bem localizado, seguro e confortável. Porém, seguem algumas sugestões. Verificar sistema com antecedência para deixar organizado para o hóspede, Cozinha escura ( lâmpadas queimadas) , esponja para fazer higienização da cozinha durante o uso, informações no apartamento ( informativo impresso) sobre o local do descarte do lixo, comunicação prévia ao usuário de que o apartamento tem serviço de limpeza durante a estadia. Foi um conforto a mais. Mas não tínhamos conhecimento. No mais, foi muito bom! Grata.
This by far is one of my favorite apartments to stay in. Perfectly furnished. Comfortable and clean. Well equipped in the kitchen and if one needs anything we are accommodated with anything short
Very spacious and very clean
The washing machine needs servicing it’s very noisy during the washing process. The microwave oven is not the easiest to use.
I really liked the view, the room we got had the great views of sandton. Y’all should try it out🔥
Nothing. Horrible experience loss of money
Everything. They should be banned from ever hosting
Easy checkin, convenient and safe
Extremely poor customer service. I arrived at 11pm and was only able to check in at 8AM the following day. The customer service team was unable to respond to my calls and messages throughout the entire evening. I waited in the cold for about 11 hours before I could check in.
Been here few times and I love it here since it’s close to Everything.
Microwave was not working, couch was teared and they need new curtains
The space amd facilities.
1. The house keeping stuff don't change towels and sheets, they just do touch ups (not even basic cleaning). 2. It's noisy - there are some permanent residents who live there permanently. They are always making noise.
We will definitely stay here again, the place was beautiful and modern, with stunning artwork. Very comfortable beds and huge bathrooms. Very convenient location close to Sandton Convention Centre.
Clean environment
Lights and microwave not effective
Not applicable
There were a few electrical issues which caused the earth leakage to trip
The bathroom and comfortable bed
Hydro Park has been my go to apartments given the proximity of my other locations when in joburg and security process.
The cleaners need to pay attention to detail, curtains need to be washed, carpet needs to be clean, shower and toilet do need to fixed. When the cleaners come in the morning to clean, they need to communicate well and not just storm into the house when we still packing up and just pace up without allowing us to quickly finish off and vacate.
Absolutely everything was incredible. Seriously I loved staying at this place. Just lovely and I will certainly come back. The staff were fantastic too. Great location. Great security. Room was lovely and warm. Great value for money.

Apartamento espaçoso, muito confortável e moderno, muito bonito, bem localizado, organizado e limpo. Tem uma vista maravilhosa da cidade. Os funcionários são atenciosos e muito solícitos.
Gostei de tudo.
False advertisement, views are ridiculous I’m so pissed Looks nothing like advertised; the air conditioner isn’t even working well
It is safe, clean and exactly like in the pictures. A good value for money. They provided quick cleaning service and WiFi, Netflix..
Very rude Host/Hostes honestly I will never recommend the particular apartment. The sad part is its different host's for the same apartment so its hard to know who's who
Absolutely nothing
The cold
Apartment spacious n beds were comfortable
Very bad hospitality and very rude host and staff. Unclean apartment. A real waste of money and time. They have no decency or respect for guests. If there was a MINUS rating then I would have given it a -1 rating. There are hundreds of better properties in the same area. There were several guests there that were dissatisfied, at the same time as us. These people have no consideration for others nor do they value human beings. Its all about just getting the payment. Their rules are bullshit and they are cheats. They are cheapskate. Their business should be shut down in my opinion.
They force you to buy electricity. This is completely unacceptable. Read all the other reviews with the same comments. The apartment name is misleading and purposefully hides this electricity issue. This is not normal for South Africa. I made every effort to contact letting agent, they refused to acknowledge any responsibility. Look for better options in Sandton. There many.
The location
The towels were damp and there is maintenance required. There is a persistent marijuana smell on the 12th floor where the unit is located. Very rowdy neighbours. Not a safe environment

No DSTV
The apartment needed some maintenance with the shower cube and bathroom door

It was perfect for our family, everyone enjoyed their stay.
I liked that the location of the Apartment ,the places we went too were so close to the place.The view of the Apartment was amazing .The place was just beautiful.
I didnt like that we found some cockroaches in the Kitchen upon arrival and later we even found some cockroaches in the bathroom.The air conditioner was not working properly and the place is very cold.
Nothing,
The whole experience. I tried to change the room and i was unsuccessful at that. Had i known that a discount gets you a trash room, i wouldn've been sure to do what was required. The hosetaway, also trash and full of nonsense texts. There was a room available online in real time and I was told there are no more rooms available. Blatant lie false advertising and I left the key after viewing the trash room.
Great location
We stayed for 3 nights and the fridge wasn’t working the whole time. We had to throw away a lot of food. The TV remote had dead batteries. No AC in the room and it was freezing. The toaster was very dirty.
It is so spacious, and beautiful
Bed sheets and couch wasn’t clean. The room service or cleaner did not pitch up, so we had to clean up on Saturday
Nothing.
Bedding was wet. Room smelled. Our host was not receptive.
Easily accessible next to the road, security, unit bigger and spacious, two rest rooms, insuite shower and bath tub👌
Aircon not was not heating to feel warm
Emplacement parfait... Service Cleaners bien assuré quotidiennement...
L'heure de remise des clés (10h), souvent les vols sont des vols de nuit. Donc de 10h à 18h, sommes abandonnés à nous-mêmes avec nos bagages
I like the small apartment, felt like home
The electricity went off for about 2 hours at night, I was confused because they have a generator, unless they really don't. The following morning there was no water at all so I couldn't shower but they had water bottles that I used for the toilet. The place looks too nice to be going through all these things honestly.

Average
Check in
The property is safe and close to all amenities i.e. Sandton City, Hyde Park Mall, surrounding by great restaurants and Uber is within less than 4min
Check in was not easy as they couldn’t find my details on their system. Electricity switched off for 4hrs even after I purchased the electric and added pin no one was fixing the issue, I kept being told to contact the owner. The electricity thing was a huge turn off for me as my phone battery was only left with 2% and for almost 5hrs the issue could not be resolved.
Le calme, l'espace du lieu La proximité avec les shops
La règle trop stricte sur les visites quand on vient en vacances on ne sait pas prévoir qui viendra ou pas Le problème d'électricité pour un appartement avec cuisinière je trouve peu de recharger que pour 500R

bought an artificial tree left it there no one says there saw it
The unit was really clean and also ideally situated - in the heart of Sandton.
Our iron didn’t work, the bottle opener is broken but these are minor things that the owner can sort out.
Rickety coffee table Sunken couch Flickling downlights

Everything, it was my second time there.
1. Really Spacious Apartment 2. Exactly what we saw on pictures. It’s really value for money. 3. In a great location. 4. Other occupants welcoming and offers their assistance when meeting on the basement, elevators & hallways
1. Malfunctioning Aircon, during winter they should always be checked if they are fully functional 2. Cockroaches by the kitchen area, they need to fumigate. 3. Bio matrix by the parking entrance/exit were giving me a hard time, every time I had to wait for the facility guard to come open for us. 4. Cleaning staff seem to be overwhelmed, they just browse through, not thoroughly cleaning. Some drinks caps, tiny papers and droppings that we found when we checked in were still there after our second night of stay there.
The security and location
You have to pre-book a hairdryer. Mismatched glasses. The fridge had a bad odour. To milk or water on arrival. No hangers.
The rooms are very comfy
The parking are very tiny
Mostly location,the view yoooo,
There was a cockroach and couch was not comfortable
The help desk was ready and waiting for our arrival

Nothing. It was the ghetto and it’s advertised as luxury.
Everything. The decor is horrible. There was a smell ok the room and the door is see through.
The apartment is good(room 106), you find it clean and neat and security is good, with very helpful security personnel.
The apartment doesn't have a heating system or even an aircon and it was really cold. The cleaning team, even though they come, the don't actually clean the floor, make beds or clean the bathrooms. On all the days I spent there, they just move one or two things around but don't clean
No breakfast BB
Too strict tone of the hosts
Everything
Mhhh couch is small
Had an excellent two night stay with my wife and two infant daughters. The host communicated well, tje check in was smooth, and the place was clean, quiet and safe. And excellent location very close to all the best of Sandton
It looked exactly as the pics
The apartment was not clean. There was hair from the previous guest
