The place is so relaxing and calming. We came for 4 nights after a Safari in the Kruger and was made to feel at home from the start. The compound was very safe, and the staff were very friendly. We got to know some of them quite well. We frequented the spa and the ladies thay worked there were so nice, offering us recommendations for meals. Talking of the spa, we had our fair share of treatments, and each time we wanted to come back for more. We would recommending using Uber to get around the city as that seems to be the safest option, and would recommend a meal at 'And then there was fire' which is an experience in itself. If (when) we come back to J'berg, we will be stopping at the Wesley again.

This hotel is outstanding. After visits to the USA, Panama or Europe, this can clearly be described as follows: Rating 10 out of 10 possible points. The entire staff is empathetic, honest, exemplary in their dealings, attentive and helpful beyond measure. Such a service to people (and to hotel guests) was previously unknown to me and this gave me (positively!) a lot to think about. The hotel management is to be congratulated on this staff, because the staff is the heart of a hotel. A special thanks to the general manager Mr. Tim for the pleasant exchange in the lobby. It was my first visit to South Africa and I will be back in 2024 due to the staff experienced at the hotel. (Room 225 - 08/20/2023 - 09/01/2023)
