Sandton Times Square Serviced Apartments

“Well equipped room.”

We had to go to Johannesburg for a night since my wife had an appointment with a specialist there. It was a last minute booking. The hotel was easy to find. They scan your drivers licence before you enter the secure parking area (that is a good thing). The receptionist was very kind and helpful. What a difference it makes when the receptionist makes you feel welcome. The room was very clean and well equipped with every kind of appliance you would ever need. Despite the fact that the hotel is located right next to a busy road, the room was exceptionally quiet ( you could only hear the gentle hum of the air conditioner fan). On the negative side…the shower is uncomfortably small. The toilet seat was beyond repairs. This could have been replaced easily before we arrived. The cheap kettle did also not switch off when the water boiled. The two lounge chairs are showing signs of heavy wear. We brought the toilet seat and kettle to the receptionist attention when we checked out, and she apologised and immediately brought it to the attention of Maintenance…excellent. Would we go stay there again…certainly.

Times Square Sandton is clean with a great location in Sandton for accessing the business district or the motorway.

Helps also that Graystone Shopping Centre is 5 mins away.

“NOT What We Expected”

Disliked: I honestly feel like the pictures posted on Bookings.Com are a total misrepresentation of what one walks into. We walked into an apartment that looked empty. The lounge area to be precise looked like our furniture was repossessed or we were new tenants waiting for furniture to be delivered. It looked cold and unwelcoming. The pictures on the other hand showed a fully furnished apartment with carpets and or a table in the middle of the lounge. 90% of the TV channels gave error 48-32, and the channels that play without a problem are kids channels. Apparently, the area has signal problems. The cutlery and crockery was a joke, 1 eating fork, 1 spoon, 2 steak forks, 2 teaspoons, 3 butter knives, no bread knife or chopping knives. 4 pots, only 2 of those pots have lids. Only 1 small serving dish, the other one had no lid. When we checked in, we had to pay R200 damage fees, which we were aware of, however, no one walked us to our room for an inspection, despite having paid the damage fee.....when we got to our room, the kettle lid was broken, the cabinet door on the island was broken... The accommodation is located on Grayston drive. It's a busy street, so obviously, there are no silent nights. So if you are hoping for a quiet day or night l, this won't be a place for you. The same night we checked in, we wanted to cancel our reservation and book somewhere else. Unfortunately for us when we went to reception, the reception was closed and we couldn't be assisted. for a place located in Sandton I had high expectations and they were definitely not met.
