Pleasantly surprised. Very convenient for a next day flight, and a good restaurant and buffet. I saw comments about not having water in the rooms, but there were water stations everywhere, so just a smart way to minimize waste (or costs, duh). It was well signposted all the way from the arrivals hall, and you don’t need to leave the airport at all.
the hotel Amenities are.good but there is no tooth paste...so we have to buy it outside...the foods are good however I only eat some kinds of breads and fruits with.omellet...because I am worry if there are pog on the sausage and others...

Well, it was adequate, the location is convenient to some extend.
Unfortunately, the facilities are aged, and there are some things that ”time”, simply erased, splendor, elegance, and stylish, perhaps fifteen to twenty years ago.
However, this is 2025, and the competition is fierce, at the risk of exaggerating, I simply can not believe that this hotel is worth the price.
The cost to value ratio, is simply not acceptable.
I'm sure that this was the ”place to be”, many years ago, but unfortunately, it's not the case now.
Perhaps, if the facilities could be renovated, it could return to it's initial state, whitout, it's simply just way past it's sellby date.
On a more positive note, the service receiving from all the staff, was excellent, and on standard.
Breakfast, was on international standard, and excellent, to say the least.
And as mentioned, the location is prime, and the complementary shuttle, is an excellent ”value added” service.
This hotel, remains a landmark in S.A. it's my sincere hope, that they would renovate the facilities and conduct routine maintenance.
For the price of the hotel, we cannot demand too much.
It's a good balance for price/value ratio.
We had some problems at check in, but the duty manager solved the issue in a very good and patient manner.
Thank you.
It is a beautiful hotel, close to airport and very clean. Staff are all exceptionally friendly and helpful, the shuttle driver was kind enough to drop me at departures as I had quite a bit of luggage instead of the shuttle parking area which although convenient is a little of a walk away. Rooms are neat, bedding very good quality. Water temperature in shower was not very hot but still acceptable. Will definitely stay there again.
Very good, good breakfast, nice decoration, very new, the room plug has type interface
Great

CCasey BabyLovely quick stop over before my flight. The shuttle service was on time and very kind receptionist who offered me a to go breakfast snack for my early morning flight.
TTrevor_PilotVery disappointed after our stay at The DaVinci Hotel.
I was thoroughly looking forward to this stay as I have not stayed in this hotel before and it had been on my list, check in took quite long, which didn't bother me initially but ended up being a compounding factor after everything else, we had booked online and it took close to an hour for us to get checked in and given our room key, we used this time to look around.
When we finally got to our room, we quickly left everything and went to the mall then had dinner, we got back relatively late and only upon getting back did we notice the bed was 2 single beds pushed together, however we booked and paid for a delux king room, needless to say I spent the duration of the evening falling through the 2 beds as I was trying to cuddle my lady, so I didn't get much sleep to say the least.
When we got up in the morning I quite badly needed a coffee to wake me up after the night I had and Lo and behold, the coffee machine was not working!
By this point you can imagine the frustration.. so we got dressed and went down for breakfast, the process of simply getting a coffee took close to 40 minutes, let alone the food arriving! We actually ended up getting up and leaving because we had plans for the day and did not expect to wait over an hour for our breakfast to arrive! The cold food that was available at the buffet was very dry as well but we scoffed it down and went on our way, it was only while we were walking out that the juice we ordered when we arrived was beginning to make its way to our table, so we were given the bottle and we went on our way
We mentioned the incorrect room as well as the coffee machine to the lady at the checkout desk, to which I was reassured that next time we stay it will be nice
I can very confidently confirm that there will not be a next time from us, as we do expect a certain service when checking into a 5 star hotel and paying the price that comes along with it
On a positive note, the concierge was helpful with taking our luggage to the room
Such a pity for a lovely perfectly located place to put such little effort into the quality they provide
SSlindelo Joseph MlangeniHere is a draft hotel review for Road Lodge Carnival City Hotel based on the details you provided:
Road Lodge Carnival City Hotel Review
Location: Conveniently located near Carnival City entertainment complex in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Room: The rooms at Road Lodge Carnival City are on the smaller side, but well-laid out to accommodate a family of 3 comfortably. Despite the compact space, everything you need is right at hand. The beds were clean and comfortable.
Cleanliness: This property gets a 5-star rating for cleanliness. The hotel staff clearly takes pride in keeping all public areas and rooms spotlessly clean. Our room was thoroughly cleaned each day with fresh towels provided.
Amenities: In-room amenities were basic but sufficient. Free wifi access allowed us to stay connected. The daily refreshment of ice from the vending machine in the hallway was a nice touch.
Breakfast: While we did not partake in any meals here, breakfast is buffet and by the standard of most hotels, was ample and well-prepared.
Service: Front desk and housekeeping staff were polite, helpful and attentive to any needs during our stay. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient.
Value: For the affordable room rate at Road Lodge Carnival City, we felt it offered excellent value. The proximity to entertainment and clean, comfortable accommodations made it a hassle-free base despite the modest size.
Overall: While the rooms are on the small side, this hotel gets high marks for cleanliness, location and service. It provides clean, comfortable lodging for an affordable rate that is perfect for a family trip to Carnival City. I would definitely stay here again.
AAnonymous UserIt's a very fancy hotel. The staff are super friendly and helpful. It's super clean. The room is spacious and has an air-conditioner. It's got food and drink available even late in the night via room service.
TTraveling TanI recently stayed at this hotel which left me disappointed due to their shuttle service limitations. While the overall experience was average, the lack of a 24-hour shuttle service proved to be a significant inconvenience, particularly for early morning flights.
One of the key reasons I chose this hotel was because of its location and a shuttle service to the airport. However, upon checking in, I was informed that the shuttle operated only from 7 am onwards. This was highly inconvenient as my flight departure time was earlier. I approached the receptionist to inquire about alternative options, hoping for some flexibility or assistance, but was met with an unhelpful suggestion to order an Uber instead.
Having previously stayed at other hotels near airports, I had come to expect a 24-hour shuttle service as the norm. It was disappointing to find that this particular hotel did not offer the same level of convenience. Given the additional cost associated with using ride-hailing services like Uber, this unforeseen expense was an unwelcome surprise.
In conclusion, if you have early morning flights or rely on a reliable 24-hour shuttle service, I would caution against choosing this particular hotel. I would recommend exploring other nearby options that prioritize customer convenience and provide a more accommodating shuttle service.
BBrougleI recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful hotel and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by its excellent location, top-notch service, and overall hospitality.
The hotel's location was simply outstanding. It was conveniently situated, allowing easy access to nearby attractions and amenities. Whether it was exploring the city or embarking on a safari adventure, the hotel's central location made it a perfect base for my travels.
The service provided by the hotel staff was truly exceptional. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive assistance throughout my stay, I felt genuinely cared for. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that all my needs were met, including a special favor of allowing me to leave my suitcase while I was away on the safari. Their flexibility and accommodating nature were greatly appreciated.
The hotel itself was a sight to behold. It exuded elegance and charm, with its beautifully designed interiors and well-maintained facilities. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from the tastefully decorated rooms to the inviting common areas. It was a pleasure to return to such a comfortable and inviting space after a long day of exploring.
Overall Rating: ★★★★★
JJASON DENNISFirstly, I was put into a room that I did not book and was told I cannot change to a room that I had paid for because the hotel was overbooked. The front desk, eventually, moved me once I had pointed out that it was a health hazard to stay in the room they assigned to me because they had painted it that very day and I could still smell the paint fumes.
After being moved, I was put into a room that I actually paid for. The toilet leaked and the shower was blocked.
I will say though that the front desk was very friendly and tried to help as much as they could.
All in all, it was not a good experience and I won't be staying again.
RRyun KiatI recently stayed for a couple of nights, and overall, it was an average experience. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff was friendly, which I appreciated. However, the room itself could have been a bit more updated. While it was clean, the furnishings seemed a little worn, and the bathroom, although functional, had some minor issues like a leaky faucet.
The bed was comfortable enough, but I did find it a bit harder than I prefer. The hotel amenities were standard—there was a gym and a small pool, though I didn't have time to use either. The Wi-Fi worked fine, and I didn't encounter any issues with the air conditioning or heating during my stay.
One thing that stood out was the location. It was pretty convenient for my needs, close to a few restaurants and shops, though not overly special. I was hoping for a bit more from the hotel's restaurant, as the menu was somewhat limited and the food was just okay.
In short, it wasn’t a bad stay, but it didn’t blow me away either. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep without expecting anything extraordinary, this hotel will do the job.
GGuest UserIt's giving more 3 than 4 stars? Customer service poor.
Holiday Inn was full so this was a close alternative.
Had amenities but their outlets were in the kitchen far from the bed? Not very business traveller or relaxing traveller friendly.
I booked a queen studio which had a kitchenette which was great for warming food etc. Decor a bit tired so could do with some love. But apart from a very dirty bottle left on the balcony it was clean.
Location is excellent for Rosebank Mall even if you have to play chicken to cross the road 😆
Customer service was severely lacking. I thought Radisson Red staff were slow but at least they were always there. You can't call frontdesk . It's all QR codes and WhatsApp. Late check out would be the cost of another night R1980. Staff had a, I dunno attitude and werent very helpful. 1 security guard and 1 young lady in the lounge are the only exceptions. Outlets in the lounge and office were local only and I had to really ask to get where I could buy adapters / converters.
Next time I'll go elsewhere. They're not customer focused enough for me.
NNK JujuLovely Place. About 20 minutes or less away from the city centre. The stuff was friendly and very helpful. The room was tired and clean. Little noise from the outside because of the highway. But not a bother at all. Definitely coming back the next time I visit South Africa.
Side note. If you are travelling from abroad you might want to have an extension cord or adapter to fit the sockets for your devices. As the ones in South Africa are different from most parts of the world.
