During my stay at Davinci Hotel on Nelson Mandela Square, I enjoyed the beautiful decor and excellent location. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with breakfast options that felt limited and not fresh. While the service had its shining moments, such as supportive staff, there were also hiccups that made the experience uneven. Overall, it's a mixed bag but worth considering for its prime location. 🌟

My stay at the Davinci Hotel was overall quite pleasant. The location was excellent, being connected to the bustling Nelson Mandela Square, making it easy to shop and dine. The rooms were clean and well-presented, although the open-plan bathroom design was a bit unusual. While I liked the breakfast spread, it could have offered more variety. However, really good service from the staff made my experience nice.

The standard room was spacious and well-appointed, but the bathroom design was a bit too open with sliding glass doors facing the bedroom area. I appreciated the daily housekeeping service, though it would have been nice to experience more of the turndown service typically offered at luxury hotels.

Dining options felt limited, with a basic breakfast buffet and few choices on the menu. I found the selection could definitely be expanded to meet the high expectations of a five-star hotel.

Facilities like the swimming pool and gym were available, but the pool seemed more for aesthetics than actual use. Room service was decent, though I think they could enhance their menu variety.

While the hotel has decent facilities, I found the gym to be quite limited, and the pool wasn't heated, which made it less appealing for a swim. They offer handy services like laundry and shuttle options, which were useful.
