Hotel berhampiran Essenhout Park, Johannesburg

The hotel is beautiful and situated on a gorgeous golf course very close to Cresta Shopping Centre - however it feels like you are in the country. I checked in for 3 nights - looking forward to baths each night as I have only showers at thome - and was warmly welcomed by the reception team (not my first stay there so I was happy to return). I was given a room close to the pool and at first, all appeared well. The room is well appointed and very spacious with a gorgeous bath and shower. The bath however leaked out all the water and despite adjusting the pop-up plug, the water loss was significant and I eventually gave up the idea of a bath. By the way, the washbasins also leaked out all the water. I then reported it and apparently it was 'fixed' by the maintenance team the following day. Needless to say, the bath still leaked ( but slightly less this time). I again reported it for fixing the next day. The next day, I was moved to a gorgeous suite, the Ernie Els suite, which was truly lovely and much appreciated. I couldnt wait to have a bath! I ran the bath and went to make a cup of tea. I arrived back in the bathroom and .... voila! no water in the bath. Exactly the same problem AGAIN! Both washbasins also leaked by the way as I was trying to revive a bouquet of flowers in one of them and found after two minutes, the basin was empty. A few other things were wrong too - the gas fire in the room wouldnt automatically ignite - you needed a lighter (I'm a non-smoker). The curtain had come off the rail. The TV in the bedroom would not switch off and also only had a very soft volume level that could not be increased. On a positive note, the breakfasts were awesome and the general staff really helpful, professional and service orientated. The maintenance team however, needs to be challenged on the plumbing/water losses in the rooms. So I never did get my bath that I so desperately wanted in all the 3 nights I stayed there...

I can see that this was a great place to stay in its heyday but has declined over time. Positives are it’s location, friendly and accommodating staff (which one would expect in the hospitality industry) and a reasonable price. Negatives that I experienced were that the place was well worn, tired and in need of some investment. Examples are, worn carpets, hole in the dining room table cloth, frayed bath towels, basin not draining quickly due to matted hair in the strainer (fixed same day), broken suitcase rack (fixed same day), evidence of a dampness problem in the plaster on the wall near the window, extractor fan in the bathroom is dark brown with years of dust on the grill in the ceiling, no Barman on duty - was served by reception staff though. Apart from a buffet breakfast there are no meal facilities at all, not even for a light snack. I have to wonder whether this is actually a hotel or just a conference venue with accommodation. If it is indeed a hotel then this is definitely not the four star establishment despite having four stars next to their name on their website. Would I stay here again? Possibly, but only because it’s convenient & I know what to expect.

The rooms are clean,the staff at the reception are very cool. Sihle was very helpful with our booking and she took her time in helping us with being mean and moody. Also the cleaning ladies were nice. I recommend the hotel for business,it's very quiet in there.

The Mercure Hotel in Randburg is our go-to hotel in Johannesburg. Excellent customer service and comfortable rooms. It's also conveniently located at the new Ferndale on Republic shopping center, where there are great shopping and dining options.

Stunning Datenight❤️ Absolutely wonderful evening with fantastic service and exquisite food❤️ We arrived, hoping that they would have a table for us, as we had not made a reservation 😳 They were absolutely fantastic, showed us to the best table that was reserved...and made us feel absolutely welcome, even though the restaurant was full 😊 We ordered a yummy wine whilst listening the fun, LIVE music and thought that it would take a while for our order..

The apartment was clean and very spacious, we enjoyed our stay there, however there was not enough towels for 4 guests.

The Mint Hotel 84 gets the basics right with clean, comfortable rooms and friendly service staff. My room was a standard double with a queen bed, it had everything I needed including a desk, coffee maker, and good water pressure in the shower. The bed was fairly comfortable and the room was cleaned promptly every day. The breakfast spread in the dining area had a variety of options including cereals, toast, fruit, pastries, and eggs. The food was of average quality and freshness, nothing exceptional but sufficient to start the day. The service staff at the front desk and concierge were pleasant, helpful, and efficient whenever I had questions. They provided recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area. The hotel has an outdoor pool and fitness centre, although I did not use the fitness centre during my stay. The hallways and public areas were well maintained and clean. Overall, the Mint Hotel 84 provides good, no-frills accommodations in a convenient location for exploring Katherine. The price point is fair for the quality you get, making it a solid choice for standard business or leisure travel.
