“Lido Hotel provides an interesting mix of historical charm and practical amenities in Johannesburg. I see it as a functional base, particularly for large gatherings, with its unique Lapa venue and dance floor. The halal-certified restaurant is a definite plus, even though some aspects, like cleanliness, could use a boost.”
