The service is non existant. No one answerred the "preferred" whatsapp messages or calls for 2 hours and there is no other way to contact reception as there are no phones in the room. The only place the aircon cools is 30 cm RIGHT in front of it and then it only works for 5 mins and swich off for 15. Then there is the mini fridge from 1950 that is producing so much heat you can cook your breakfast on it. One look inside the fridge, you can see the ice has completely coverred the freezer compartment, it clearly is not maintained. After finally getting hold of reception, the security guard was called to inspect the aircon. Could not get it working any better either. The room is uncomfortably hot in this hot weather. The espresso machine has not been cleaned in years and i am sure one will get violently ill if you had to use it. I was offerred another room upstairs, as it was safer??? to open the windows and get natural air in the room as the aircon is still as weak in all the rooms apparently.| I would not recomend Courtyard Rosebank to ANY person under any circumstances as it is uncomfortable, ill equipped, no maintenance staff and no working aircons(which ironically was the reason i booked this hotel as the other suites in the area had no aircon). Maybe City Lodge Group should renovate this aging hotel and get proper working equipment and give their guests some value equal to the room rate...

Read moreIt's giving more 3 than 4 stars? Customer service poor. Holiday Inn was full so this was a close alternative. Had amenities but their outlets were in the kitchen far from the bed? Not very business traveller or relaxing traveller friendly. I booked a queen studio which had a kitchenette which was great for warming food etc. Decor a bit tired so could do with some love. But apart from a very dirty bottle left on the balcony it was clean. Location is excellent for Rosebank Mall even if you have to play chicken to cross the road 😆Customer service was severely lacking. I thought Radisson Red staff were slow but at least they were always there. You can't call frontdesk . It's all QR codes and WhatsApp. Late check out would be the cost of another night R1980. Staff had a, I dunno attitude and werent very helpful. 1 security guard and 1 young lady in the lounge are the only exceptions. Outlets in the lounge and office were local only and I had to really ask to get where I could buy adapters / converters.Next time I'll go elsewhere. They're not customer focused...
