    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.

    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 great stay here in the city. The hotel was clean and had excellent facilities including parking and transportation options close by. The location was fantastic, being right next to the mall made it easy to grab anything I needed during my stay. The breakfast provided by this hotel was also great and the staff were friendly and helpful.

    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.
