Review of Black Brick Hotel and Apartments
The location of Black Brick Hotel and Apartments is excellent, with easy access to major shopping centers and public transport. Security is fairly good, with access control in place, making it a relatively safe stay. Connecting with Gautrain and Uber is convenient, with short wait times.
The hotel itself has a minimalist, industrial design, but the color scheme feels uninviting and gives off a deserted atmosphere. While the room met basic needs, comfort was lacking—especially the bed, which consisted of two single beds pushed together, making for an uncomfortable sleep. Essential amenities like a TV remote, towel rail, and hairdryer were missing. The television was placed far from the bed, and though Netflix and Disney+ were available, getting a remote was a hassle.
One of the biggest drawbacks was the lingering smell of smoke in the room, which was quite unpleasant. However, the air conditioning was a much-needed relief. Overall, while the location and accessibility are strong points, improvements in comfort, amenities, and ambiance would enhance the experience significantly.
