The room is not big. When there is a water outage, the room downstairs is even smaller. It is cheaper and has a shuttle bus.

The environment is definitely perfect. The location is very central. It's just in Mandela Square, a 5-minute walk. It's very close, but walking is not recommended. It's very dangerous. There is a restaurant and the breakfast is very rich and delicious.

Got the nosiest room, connected room to a guest next door who was talking loudly on the phone and it echoed throughout the room. Staff asked him to be quiet but he jest kept talking. We were also in a room near a staff area and they would slam the door all night and talk while walking through the hallway. Staff would not move us to another room. Bathroom was very dated and not that clean.

BULL RUN has a variety of delicious food besides steak. The hotel is located in the shopping mall, which is very convenient for parking, shopping, eating and drinking. The waiters are warm and considerate.

A good hotel located in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. The breakfast is excellent, I can recommend it. Closed internal territory, everything is clean. A large shopping center is located 7-10 minutes walk away. From Johannesburg International Airport, about half an hour by taxi.
