Not the greatest experience
Firstly on arrival staff were friendly so no complaints there. That’s where it ends. Room itself was ok. However aircon was exceptionally noisy so couldn’t sleep with it despite it being a warm night. Sadly the wifi kept going on and off and it took me a long time to get urgent work done. When I went downstairs to look for someone to help there was no one at the reception. Next morning at breakfast I also had to look for someone to order eggs. Rest of food was ready. It seems it’s a hit and miss as other people were offered breakfast on arrival where others were not attended to. Walls in room also very thin or not properly insulated with the result that one can hear the neighbours noises quite easily compared to other places I’ve stayed at. Sorry I won’t be coming back for above legitimate reasons.

Expected a little more...
I think for an international traveller the "boutique hotel" and 5 star tourism grading is probably a misnomer. Room allocation is a bit of a lottery in terms of how restful your stay is, and if you are in one of the rooms along the main thoroughfare between the parking area and upper section accommodation/restaurant, you have departing guests at 4.30am moving their luggage over the cobblestone paving to check out. Rooms are on the small side and service is quite average so probably around a 3-star equivalent overall.

Take note
My overall experience was not good. The parking space is extremely limited, our room was too small, the bathroom had ants and no bath for 4 girls and the floors were dirty. We had no outside view - the view of the windows was directly into the walled fence. Definitely not 5 stars!

Nice Hotel - Close to Jo Burg airport
Great hotel close to Jo Burg airport. Does not have a full restaurant - only available for breakfast. There are a lot of stairs to haul up your suitcase, so not ideal if you are not able to lift your suitcase up and down the stairs. Has a lovely pool, we did not have time/weather to use it.

Excellent beds....
We stayed at Lakeview for an overnight as we were flying out of OR Tambo early the next morning. Since we arrived late at night, our initial impression was that it was a bit tired. Probably not a "boutique" hotel but a small hotel/motel as the rooms open to the outside. The front desk was very quick to get us to our room as he knew we were tired. We had a family room and it was cozy and clean- perfect for what we needed. Although the interior was a bit dated, the beds and linens were as good as the top hotel chains (we loved it) and the shower was excellent and bathroom was large. Since we had an early departure, we didn't try their breakfast but the lounge looked nice. We would stay again for the beds alone.
