OUTSTANDING

10.0

Outstanding is the only word I can use for this hotel. My husband lost his hearing aid charger and upon arrival we asked if they could take us somewhere where we could purchase a new one. They said absolutely not and proceeded to take pictures of his hearing aids and write down the model. They then located a place that sold the charger, sent a driver to purchase it and the manager delivered it to our room in person. They could not do enough for us to make us feel at home. FYI, my husband always comments on showers and he said this was one of the best he ever had in a hotel. If you’re looking for a location, that’s going to take good care of you and make you feel at home, this is the place for you.

Great start to our safari trip

10.0

We stayed a couple of nights at the Saxon hotel and was very kindly upgraded to the Presidential Villa Suite. Airport meet and greet and transfer was done efficiently, and we were whisked away in a nicely appointed hotel car. Check in was smooth, the room was massive, more suited for a family of 6, and clean. It was modern and comfortable. We also did the hotel organised city tour, and had a lovely driver/guide who showed us around Soweto and the apartheid museum. Dinner at Qunu was also great - good service, food, wine and live music. The only slight negative is that breakfast was not as good as the rest of the hotel, and we were prompted for a tip at the end of the included breakfast service, which was a bit unusual for us. Still, it's a great hotel for a short stay in Johannesburg.

Splendid time at the Saxon

10.0

We found the Saxon a fantastic stay after a long flight and before starting our safari. The Presidential suite was spacious and comfortable for some rest and relaxation. The food was great with many selections at breakfast and we had a lovely dinner service at Qunu. We also booked spa treatments which was rejuvenating and a great way to decompress before our next adventure. The staff and service was exceptional and we wished we could stay longer. Will definitely be staying here again on our next visit to Joburg.
