Ten Bompas
South Africa [order]The ethos of Ten Bompas is that of superior convenience. It was the childhood home of owner, who travels widely and knows all too much about big, impersonal hotels. At Ten Bompas, he has succeeded in creating his ideal small hotel, with good service, great food, and all the little extras touches he misses when he stays elsewhere.
Enormous care has gone into planning the details. Even the coal for the fire in your room comes in brown paper bags tied up with string - so you dont dirty your hands stoking it.
With its relaxing atmosphere and chic, modern African decor, Ten Bompas is a great place to chill while exploring the hectic city of Johannesburg. And for those on business its Dunkeld West location is convenient for Sandton, Illovo and Rosebank.
HIGHS
The stylish and well equipped rooms. The staff are in a class of their own friendly, helpful and downright lovely. Lots of nice touches: free pre-dinner snacks delivered to the room, cookies and horlicks at bed time, free laundry, free magazines
LOWS
It struck us as incongruous, with all the complimentary services offered, that Ten Bompas still bothers to charge for airport transfers
