Could not fault this Hotel. We were upgraded to a suite. Our flight from Sydney was delayed 24 hours and we were well within our free cancellation time but without charge they moved our reservation to the next night. Archie the concierge was the best! Thank you Michelangelo.

Very convenient hotel

I have been back 3 times now, always enjoy the Michelangelo, the area around the Mandela Square are just great for shopping and dining. One issue that must be addressed and that is the very poor toilette flush. ZA has extreme water issues yet a leading hotel cannot sort out a decent toilet flush and this with 'one flush'

One of the best hotels I've stayed at

One of the best hotels I have stayed at. The position is great on Nelson Mandela square linking with Sandton City shopping complex. 5 minute walk from the Gautrain that takes you to the O. R Tambo international airport. The rooms are spacious and have an old world charm. The facilities including the gym and indoor pool are impressive. BUT the most impressive thing about this hotel is the staff. Friendly, efficient and helpful. It's worth going back just for them

No Business -Check if Full

We booked a room for two inclusive of Breakfast @ £220. The Hotel is a very high standard and based on a previous stay I wanted to take my wife. The hotel staff are very amenable. We had two points that disappointed us; 1. Limited Wifi Data as free Wifi 2. Breakfast room was full and had breakfast in main bar area. No breakfast menu was offered.

Excellent Location, old stylish hotel!

2 nights on a promotion at this hotel....thank God as I do not think is worth more than US$250/night! Great location within the sandton city retail paradise. BIG and comfy room with free good wifi. Gym was OK but really the aerobic equipment must be renewed, they are below the supposed standards of the hotel! Great breakfast. I was really not impressed by the service at the hotel though: e.g. - check-in was too long; at the check out, no more concierge to help with the luggage; you actually have to ask to be served at the breakfast area..... Still, one should try this landmark "luxury" hotel at least once in Jozie!

Bit Disappointing

I have stayed at the Michelangelo before and had a fantastic time and decided to go back. This time however I was let down. I was given a room for a wheelchair which wasnt requested. I then moved to a smaller room and finally 3rd time lucky I received the room I paid for. I was them charged R4000.00 & had to call to request my money back as I had paid in fulll for the room. Next time will give it a miss and have let my Colleagues know, who also frequent the hotel that it was dissappointing overall. The Concierge was fantastic as always
