薩克森飯店別墅及水療中心(Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa)

Went for just Spa & Dinner and both were horrible. My pedicure was bad almost nothing done in terms of scrubbing. I then ate Dinner a Lobster Thermidor. It wasn’t fresh plus very dry and got sick when I got home. The hotel is now outdated in almost everything except the art and landscape. The worst value for money in my life.

The Saxon is a beautiful place, with a fine collection of African art and well tendered grounds. What sets us apart, however, is the quality of the service. Staff felt like they were really focused on ensuring guests got just what they wanted from their stay, service was intelligent and personal. This really moved what would anyway have been a better pleasant stay up to an exceptional experience. The Saxon isn’t cheap, but I’d say it’s actually good value given the overall experience. Would definitely choose it when staying in or passing through Jo’burg again.

Wirklich ein 5 Strne Hotel. Alles sehr sauber und gepflegt. Kleiner Pool. Wir hatten es Glück dass wir ein Upgrade für die Presidental Suite bekommen haben. Es war gigantisch (200 qm) Ausgezeichnetes Abendessen mit gutem Wein. Vorzüglicher Service

Superbe expérience Nous étions dans une chambre de 80m2 Splendide la deco un mélange d Afrique et de contemporain Très bon goût. Champagne chocolat fruits sec. On se sent bichonner comme rarement. Magnifique. Je crois que c est le plus bel hôtel de notre voyage. Restaurant délicieux.

Ein sehr abgeriegelter ,sicherer Ort.Eine Oase in Johannesburg. Das Hotel ist von einem schön angelegten Garten umrundet , mit mehreren Pools,Schwimmbecken .Alles wie im Märchen ,Sehr nettes zuvorkommendes Personal. Wir haben eine grosse Suite bekommen , mit einem Wermutstropfen ,Der Ausblick auf dem Zimmer war quasi nicht vorhanden .Wir hatten Blick aufs Restaurant und Küche. Gefühlt ein Downgrade. Da aber sonst alles wirklich gestimmt hat Küche,Frühstück ,Dinner der Service es war wirklich alles perfekt, trotzdem alle Sterne.

Stayed here for 2 nights at the end of a long safari in Botswana. The majority of the hotel was under construction which included the main pool, outdoor terraces, lounge, main restaurant. There was only one small area for a guest to go outside around a small lap pool but services were non existent there. The restaurant GREI was in a small cramped space with average, overpriced food and no convenient restroom to use. You have to go downstairs past reception and into the banquet hall. Breakfast was a hike through a tube over to the other side of the property into what looked like a corporate meeting area. The rooms were outdated with threadbare and worn furnishings. There is no coffee maker in the room. The place lacked any charm, nothing to do there and service was mediocre. Something must have happened here when you read other reviews. I would not recommend this place nor would I return. BEWARE of construction as it says finished approx May 31 and there was no way it would be completed.

Rooms are all spacious and well fitted, although the light controls and especially TV controls take a bit getting used to. Service was OK, staff at restaurant sometimes seemed a bit frazzled by simple requests. For example ordering two of the same drink at the same time but having them delivered 10-15 minutes apart. That being said food was pretty good once it arrived. Internet went out during our stay and it was impossible to reach front desk at times. Not sure how this happens but not answering phones for in house guests is unacceptable. A lot of constriction also going on, indoor restaurant non existent and one of the pools closed. Food is served in what seems like a temporary space. Not sure I'd recommend this hotel unless you must be in Johannesburg and specifically in that area.

We only stayed here for one night. The hotel has an interesting history associated with Nelson Mandela who stayed here after his release to write his memoirs. The hotel is beyond luxury with the excellent service which goes with it hand in hand. The drive to the hotel from the airport is interesting and I will say no more. It is only in relation to the difference between the townships and the unbelievable luxury next door. Having said that for luxury and service worth a visit.
