…r cruise that was again annoying but not a disaster. I mentioned it to the Hotel Director when chatting one day at reception. He immediately said, “We’ve got another empty cabin up front if you’d like to move”. They have the power to make these decisions and the questionnaire is a direct line to them, usually. So, use it and remember that the Hotel Director are that questionnaire could transform your cruise. But why limit transformation to just on…

…er exploring, we left to head to Belmond Sanctuary Lodge which is the only hotel right at the entrance, to have drinks and snacks also included in the excursion. As we entered the hotel it started to pour down with rain. Perfect timing. We then hurriedly boarded the busses to head back down that winding road to catch the 5:50pm train.

The taxi drivers seem very good natured and helpful but struggled with me trying to explain Grand Hyatt Hotel but got me there with me directing sometimes. One thing I will add is that I felt very safe in the city, and not sure if that was a function of the volume of people or the…
…age, with slow service that feels caught in a time loop from the past. The hotel is always very busy, as despite all of the above due to the lack of anything much better they do a good and strong trade….. one day hopefully some hotel group will try and raise the game in the Princeton area… I always feel like I am being submerged into a pool of beige when I visit here, and am always surprised at how many shades of beige one can get into one space….
…usy, and a fairly well equipped gym that does feel quite dated though. The hotel is not very attractive from the outside but functional inside. It is located near to Sandton city shops and the trendy and popular Nelson Mandela Square with many upmarket shops and restaurants (which is worth going to in the evening). You ideally need a car, but there is a regular hotel shuttle to and from the shops. Overall a safe and fine place to stay if on busine…
…er way is to ask for a high floor and ask for a view over the front of the hotel as some of the rooms on the lower floor have views of a wall. The view across the front of the hotel means you have a great view across to the hills and the magnificent Taipei 101 building which looks even better at night. The rooms and bathrooms are a good size, and the bed is very comfortable (with great pillows!). One thing I like a lot is the air conditioning is s…
