Die lekkerste plek om te oornag. Sal dit aanbeveel vir almal.

Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek sal enige nag weer daar gaan oorslaap. Ek beveel dit vir almal aan.

Baie unieke hotel.

Ons het ons verblyf terdeë geniet. Die Gatsby Suite was ruim en uitstekend toegerus. Die uitsig oor die swembad was ook lieflik. Het nie geweet ontbyt was ingesluit in die prys nie, maar die vriendelike staff het ons bederf met 'n heerlike warm ontbyt.

Very unique hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The Gatsby Suite was spacious and excellently equipped. The view over the pool was also lovely. Didn't know breakfast was included in the price, but the friendly staff spoiled us with a delicious hot breakfast.

Pleasant stay that has the potential to be great with a few tweaks.

We had a pleasant stay at Villa Simonne recently when I treated my husband to a weekend away. They have a beautiful garden and uniquely themed, small venue spaces on the premises. The staff were friendly and helpful and had no problem assisting me with a hairdryer when I noticed our room didn’t have one. With that said, the room amenities could do with a few essential additions, like a hairdryer and some basic cutlery and crockery. Our unit had a small kitchen, fitted with an oven, stovetop, microwave, kettle and small fridge. There was however nothing in the cupboards but two coffee cups and two small glasses, which proved to be bit of a challenge when we sat down to eat our order-in dinner the first night of our stay. We also experienced some discomfort with wasps entering our room from nearby nests. With a little bit of TLC, Villa Simonne could be a gem in the Houghton area.

Vriendelik, hulpvaardige werknemers wat uit hulle pad uit gegaan het om ons gemak te verseker.

Baie aangename aand by Villa Simonne gehad. Die werknemers was almal baie baie vriendelik en het uit hulle pad gegaan om te verseker ons is gemaklik en gelukkig. Die kroegman het ons by die swembad kom bedien en gereeld sekergemaak ons drankies is nog reg. Die aandete (Salmon-steaks) was heerlik voorberei teen 'n billike prys met baie groot porsies. Die geriewe op die perseel en in die kamers is puik. Ons het dit baie geniet, en sal beslis weer daar bly. Dankie!

Friendly, helpful employees who went out of their way to ensure our comfort.

Had a very pleasant evening at Villa Simonne. The employees were all very very friendly and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and happy. The bartender came to serve us by the pool and regularly checked that our drinks were still ready. The dinner (Salmon steaks) was deliciously prepared at a reasonable price with very large portions. The facilities on site and in the rooms are excellent. We really enjoyed it, and would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Excellent staff but not a lot of value for the money paid.

I was phoned on the day that we checked in to say that the Jacuzzi in the room did not work and that they will upgrade us to the presidential suite free of charge with free turn down service. We did appreciate the gesture a lot. On arrival, the staff was very helpful and friendly and also throughout our stay. The Jacuzzi in the room where we were upgraded too, however also didn't work. There were also no booklets in the room to inform us on how to operate devices in the room or to give information about the hotel or surrounding locations or attractions and we were also not given the Wi-Fi password. When we phoned reception to get the password, my husband however could not hear the receptionist on the line. When we asked the first morning at breakfast how dinner works and whether they had a menu and whether the bar would be open in the evening, the manager however just said that bars open for functions and that dinner can be provided, however no menu was given to decide whether or not we would like to eat at the hotel. This would've been better value for money if the hostess gave more attention to fixing broken Jacuzzi's, which was also the reason why we chose Villa Simonne for our anniversary in the first place. The decor however is beautiful and staff attentive but attention to needs of the guest would be appreciated.

Business trip

Villa Simonne is well located for business travel requiring accommodation close to central Johannesburg and Killarny/Rosebank. The so-called "Garden Rooms" not very suitable for work. WiFi was unavailable. It seems the whole place is currently undergoing restoration/maintenance and gives an impression of disarray

Dit is baie unieke en wonderlike plek.

Ons verblyf in Villa Simonne het ons baie geniet en sal hoogstens weer teruggaan as ons weer iets moet doen naby in die area. Die plek is baie uniek, maar ook ter selfde tyd gemaklik. Die personeel laat jou altyd welkom en gemaklik voel. Ons kamer was wonderlik toe ons in stap en het alles gehad vir 'n aand of twee se verblyf (gemaklike matrasse en beddegoed). Ek sal net aanbeveel dat hulle 'n opknap moet doen vir die badkamer, laat dit in kan pas by die res van die slaapkamer. Die res van die plek in villa Simonne was ongelooflike en het goeie verskillende temas. Enige aanbevelings vir die plek self is dat dit naby sy tyd vir 'n verf buite is, maar andersins sal ons vir seker weer terugkom.

It is very unique and wonderful place.

We really enjoyed our stay in Villa Simonne and will most likely go back again if we have to do something nearby in the area again. The place is very unique, but also comfortable at the same time. The staff always make you feel welcome and comfortable. Our room was great when we walked in and had everything for a night or two stay (comfortable mattresses and bedding). I would only recommend that they do a renovation for the bathroom, let it fit in with the rest of the bedroom. The rest of the place in villa Simonne was amazing and has good different themes. Any recommendations for the place itself is that it's nearing its time for a paint job outside, but otherwise we'll be back for sure.

Onversorg.

Die WiFi het nie gewerk nie. Beddegoed was skoon maar daar het dooie spinnekoppe onder die kussings gelê. Klein detail soos net een sjerrie glasie en onnet badkamermat was nie wat ek verwag het nie. Die tuin en buitegeriewe word nie in stand gehou nie. Dis vuil en vol stof. Die tafeldoeke het gate in. Die ontbyt wat ingesluit is was of die vorige dag se left overs of vir 3 ure te lank gaar gemaak. Diens was goed en vriendelike personeel.

Uncared for.

The WiFi didn't work. Bedding was clean but there were dead spiders under the pillows. Small detail like only one sherry glass and dirty bathroom rug was not what I expected. The garden and outdoor facilities are not maintained. It's dirty and full of dust. The tablecloths have holes in them. The breakfast that was included was either the previous day's left overs or cooked for 3 hours too long. Service was good and friendly staff.

Hulle terugvoer van Poland is dat die Villa dié plek is om te bly.

Hulle was net ietwat ongelukkig oor die internet netwerk, maar hulle kon nie uitgepraat raak oor die gasvryheid en die ligging van die villa nie. Hulle sal definitief weer daar wil kom bly.
