Avoid. Urban Hip is no longer the owner
Disaster. We arrived to be told that Urban Hip ceased to trade two years ago. Splice Riviera is now mostly residential appartments. We were stranded and had to make alternative arrangements. Expedia were quick to give a refund but this accommodation needs to be taken off the website In order for this review to be accepted I’ve had to rate the hotel but, in reality, it was the experience of being told our booking wasn’t valid that was terrible. We are not able to answer the questions

Disappointing.
The pillows in one of the rooms were dirty. There was also no soap.

2 BDroom apartment
Urban Splice Riviera is definitely an apartment building - so think Air B&B. I think it's all about expectations. We liked the neighborhood and the space set up, but we didn't get much concierge service. Being from out of town, we didn't want to have to call Bernard long distance to ask for the basics, which we likely would have called the hotel front desk for. So, if you know Joburg and you know what you've come for - you're fine. But, if you want more "support" during your stay, this isn't the place for you.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Apartments need refresh and cleaning
Killarney is a great area, next to a mall and faith facilities, it's easy to navigate. The apartments need attention, the carpets are dirty, the towels have lost color and are no longer white, the furniture needs attention. Bernard was great, attentive and willing to help in every way but this is a management issue, Urban Hip cannot link their brand with dirty apartments and run down furniture, and this place is in the right spot, but not worthy of a second visit.
