Rolling sliding bins! Everything was fine, but we were in room 133 and below us was the constant rolling and sliding of what sounded like bins, went on until after midnight. Kept waking up with the noise.

The hotel room was quite comfortable. It was very easy to get an Uber or taxi to and from the hotel. There were very nice restaurants nearby and I even found a Pilates class at a hotel nearby along with a spa with a sauna, steam room, nail, and massage services. For massages at the Capital Empire you can ask in advance and they will have someone come to the massage rooms. The in-room a/c worked very well and the wifi was great for personal and business use. I do want to note that the pool is right next to the restaurant and bar, more exposed than what I'm used to, the standard room does not come with a tub (photos are misleading), and while the rooms are soundproof, you can still hear street noise if you're on the side facing the street. The water pressure was fine, but just on the lower side. The food at the hotel was good overall, but the pizza left more to be desired. Also, the gym does not have a treadmill. I did enjoy my stay overall. I chose this hotel because a friend that I was visiting was staying there.

Beautifully located and short distance to my appointments. Warm welcome by Hendrick and the team. I had a problem with room access after checkin , the team swiftly moved me to a senior room because the door mechanism wouldn't be fixed right away. Would like more options for vegetarian meals. Warm and friendly staff throughout . Innocent is the best waiter. Every evening when I arrived from work, he made it his priority to take my dinner order so my food would arrive quicker . Thank you for your dedication and service Innocent .

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the staff at The Capital Empire for making my stay truly exceptional. Traveling alone on business in Johannesburg for two weeks could have felt lonely, but each morning and evening, the team greeted me by name and remembered my order without fail. Their warm hospitality made me feel at home, as if I were among friends. They brought laughter and smiles to my days, turning my trip to South Africa into an unforgettable experience. A big thank you to Gugulethu, Michelle, Innocent, Sthembiso, Sibusiso, Tsholo, and Roitani – you all went above and beyond to make me feel at home, and I really appreciate it! I hope to see you all again!
