    The City Lodge Newtown in Johannesburg is clean, and the location is convenient - being close to the nearby station. The chef at the hotel prepares gourmet burgers that are out of this world, and the ribs are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The chicken pizza is also a real bargain - with a thick topping full of chicken and cheese. Special thanks to the barman - Jacob - for his excellent service, and the manager - Bongani.

    Totally recommend.

    The room was not only nicely furnished, but beautiful too, and had central heating, a laptop-size safe, and flat-screen television. It had exceptionally comfortable bed and the staff were great people from security to receptionist...

    I chose this hotel for attending a business forum because it provides a secure electronic safe that was large enough to accommodate my laptop. It gave me peace of mind knowing that my valuables were protected during my stay. The staff were friendly and the location was convenient, making my business trip a comfortable and efficient experience.

    The only service that I missed for my work was a dedicated business center or office space where I could set up my laptop and work in a quiet and professional environment. This would have been beneficial for any last-minute preparations or important tasks that required focused attention.

    I had a pleasant stay at City Lodge Newtown and found the room to be clean and well-maintained. The modern property was equipped with convenient amenities such as USB charging ports, which I found to be a nice touch. The staff were friendly and helpful, making my experience even more enjoyable. Despite occasional load-shedding, the hotel had a reliable generator in place. I also appreciated the ability to store my baggage in a secure room after check-out. I would recommend this hotel for a comfortable and convenient stay.

    There were a few drawbacks during my stay. The area surrounding the hotel seemed to be experiencing urban decay, which affected the overall ambiance.

The basic amenities were all in place, and I appreciated the availability of hot water at all times. The breakfast served was delicious, offering a variety of options to start the day off right.

    I recently stayed at this hotel and was pleasantly surprised by the value for money it offered. The prices were reasonable and the attention to detail was noticeable. The hotel's location in the middle of the city, next to a mall, made it convenient for exploring. The staff provided excellent service and the basic amenities in the rooms, including twin beds, were comfortable. The breakfast spread was impressive and I thoroughly enjoyed starting my day with a hearty meal.

    My stay was more than okay. One minor improvement that could be made is to have bathtubs instead of showers in the rooms.

    The food at the hotel was great, with a variety of options to choose from. The chef was skilled and made really tasty burgers and ribs. We also enjoyed the thick toppings on the chicken pizza. the hotel had excellent security measures in place.

    The area surrounding it was very dangerous with loitering individuals. Even Uber drivers warned us against the location.
