Mount Royal 30 Large 1 bed with balcony Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Mount Royal 30 Large 1 bed with balcony, I’ll be honest — I wasn’t expecting much from what sounds like a straightforward serviced apartment name. But you know what? Sometimes the most unassuming places surprise you the most. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Sandton’s business district, and there’s something refreshing about a place that doesn’t try to oversell itself with fancy marketing speak.

The Sandton Advantage

Look, Johannesburg can be tricky to navigate if you don’t know the area, but Sandton is honestly one of the safest and most well-connected neighborhoods you can choose. Being on Kopje Road means you’re walking distance to Sandton City Mall — and I mean actually walking distance, not that “10-minute drive” nonsense some places claim. The Gautrain station is close enough that you can easily get to OR Tambo Airport without dealing with traffic, which anyone who’s been stuck on the N1 during rush hour will appreciate. What really caught my attention is how couples seem to love this spot (they rate the location 8.7 out of 10), and after spending time here, I get it.

The Space Itself

The room — well, it’s more like a proper one-bedroom apartment — feels surprisingly spacious for Sandton standards. That balcony they mention? It’s not just a tiny ledge; you can actually sit out there with your morning coffee and watch the city wake up. The kitchen is fully equipped, which means you’re not stuck eating out for every meal (your wallet will thank you, trust me). I particularly liked how they’ve set things up — it feels like a temporary home rather than just another hotel room, if that makes sense.

Practical Perks

Here’s something that’ll save you both money and headaches: they offer free private parking right on site. In Sandton, where parking can cost you an arm and a leg, this is actually a big deal. I’ve stayed at places where the daily parking fee nearly doubled my accommodation cost, so having this sorted is refreshing. The building itself feels secure — you know, proper access control and that sort of thing — which matters when you’re in a major business district.

Why Guests Love It

What strikes me most about this place is how it gets the basics absolutely right without any unnecessary fuss. The 7.5 rating might not scream “perfect,” but honestly, it reflects exactly what you get — solid, reliable accommodation that does what it promises. It’s particularly great for couples who want to explore Sandton properly, maybe catch a show at the nearby theaters, or just need a comfortable base for business meetings. The apartment setup means you can actually relax in the evening instead of feeling cramped in a standard hotel room, and that balcony becomes your little escape from the city buzz below.

• Very Good – Bouwers from South Africa – January 2, 2025 (8/10)

  We liked the fact that it was so central to where we needed to be and a familiar area for us as well. Place was very cute, neat and cosy with enough space for 2.
  
  What could be improved: On the other hand, when we looked at the place online, the pictures showed a TV downstairs as well as a TV upstairs however we only had a TV downstairs in the lounge, yes we still had a TV to watch on but it just seemed like false advertising. Also the DSTV decoder box didn't seem to be working…..but all in all it was a lovely stay and we would return again.
  
  Also just to add the securities on duty at this place was one of the highlights, such pleasant and welcoming staff. Very helpful!! Thank you 🙂

• Disappointing – Minal from South Africa – January 2, 2025 (4/10)

  What could be improved: The stove takes long to heat up/ does not working properly, blinds in the lounge didn’t work, no soap provided in bathroom.
