My stay at the Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel was quite the mixed bag. On one hand, the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the location right within the theme park was fantastic for taking breaks during the day. On the other hand, I was disappointed with the cleanliness and service in my room, which negatively impacted our experience on what was meant to be a special weekend celebrating my husband's birthday.

The entertainment room I booked was not cleaned properly, which was disheartening. I also found the lack of a fridge and inadequate tidiness to be frustrating. Additionally, the jacuzzi had a damp smell, suggesting it hadn't been cleaned in quite some time.

While some staff members were friendly, the lack of room service at night was disappointing. I tried calling to arrange special birthday decorations in advance but struggled to get through, which added to my frustration.

The location of the hotel is certainly a highlight, as it’s right in the theme park, which made it easy to access the rides and attractions. Plus, being near the casino and other restaurants offered additional entertainment options.

Facilities like cleanliness and stocking of room supplies were lacking. I had to repeatedly ask staff for water and soap, which should have been provided consistently.

I had a fantastic stay overall at the Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and the breakfast buffet was good. However, I did encounter some issues with the room's maintenance, which detracted a bit from the experience. The hotel's location within the theme park is both a blessing and a curse, as it felt quite isolated at night.

Rooms

My initial room was disappointing, as I was placed in a back room that didn’t match my executive suite request. After switching to a family suite, I found it spacious but plain, with some maintenance issues like broken items. Toilets felt unstable, and I noticed gaps under the doors, which could let insects in.
Service

The service was excellent with friendly and helpful staff. They quickly addressed my room issues, which I appreciated. However, at times they seemed a bit reluctant during breakfast prep, which could be improved.

The hotel is right inside the theme park, which is great for easy access to attractions. However, I found it to be quite secluded and dark at night with only one restaurant open, making me feel a little uneasy.

The breakfast buffet was extensive and enjoyable, featuring some fun touches like an automatic pancake maker. Dinner, however, was a letdown, especially with the aged steaks that didn't meet expectations.

I appreciated the complimentary access to the theme park, which offered fantastic family attractions. Room service had great options, but the general upkeep of the rooms could use attention.

My stay at the Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel was a mixed bag. The location is unbeatable, right inside the theme park, giving easy access to all the rides. However, the room felt dated and had a few maintenance issues, including a broken toilet cistern. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the noise from events outside my room was bothersome late into the night.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. while the theme park was definitely a highlight, the hotel experience itself left a lot to be desired. The check-in process was strange and the room, although comfortable, had its share of issues. The dining experience lacked quality, marred by slow service and some disappointing food items. Overall, it was a decent visit, but not one I'd rush to repeat.
