Located right in the heart of Johannesburg, this hotel is absolutely stunning—modern design, immaculate cleanliness, and a peaceful atmosphere despite being in a busy area. It feels safe and secure, which is always a plus. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many Chinese guests here, and the owner is also Chinese—communication is effortless, no language barriers at all. The standout feature? Every room comes with a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for cooking your own meals—great for saving money and enjoying home-style food. Even during power outages, the backup generator kicks in seamlessly, so life goes on without interruption. The Wi-Fi is lightning fast, ideal for streaming or working remotely. Honestly, staying here felt more like being at home than in a typical hotel. Comfortable, convenient, and welcoming—I’d definitely come back again.

Absolutely loved my stay! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the metro and right in the heart of the city. There are plenty of dining options nearby, plus convenient stores and local shops. The apartment was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything I needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. What really stood out was the great value for money—this place offers so much for the price. I’d definitely book again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Johannesburg.

Our stay at Summerview Boutique Hotel & Conference was extremely disappointing. Shortly after check-in, we discovered there was absolutely no water in the bathroom—neither for flushing the toilet nor for showering. We tried calling the number provided multiple times, but no one ever answered. With no working facilities and no response from staff, we had no choice but to check out in the middle of the night and find another place to stay. For a hotel claiming to offer a boutique experience, the lack of basic services like running water is unacceptable. The absence of reliable support during an emergency situation made the entire experience frustrating and stressful. I sincerely hope management addresses these critical issues—otherwise, it’s hard to recommend this property to others.

Staying at Prestige Apartments Sandton at Westpoint with my family was a perfect retreat. The spacious apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, which made it easy to cook our favorite meals together—nothing beats sharing home-cooked food in a cozy setting. The location is excellent: quiet and peaceful, yet just a short commute from downtown Johannesburg via public transit. It felt safe and serene, ideal for relaxing without distractions. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful whenever we needed anything. This place truly offers comfort, convenience, and a genuine sense of home. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free, family-friendly stay in Sandton.

The stay was extremely disappointing. From the moment we entered, there was a strong unpleasant odor throughout the apartment. Check-in was scheduled for 2:00 PM, but we didn’t receive the key until after 3:00 PM—quite frustrating after waiting so long. The unit wasn’t clean at all—the oven had dried mayonnaise residue, the bathroom was visibly dirty, and towels were still damp in the dryer, suggesting they hadn’t been properly changed or cleaned. To make matters worse, there were no toiletries provided—no shampoo, no soap—so we had to rely on our own supplies. The worst part? There was vomit in the hallway outside the apartment, and it remained uncleaned for hours. We were expecting a premium penthouse suite, especially with the description mentioning high-end features, but ended up on the 12th floor of a 14-story building—feeling misled by the marketing. The price we paid simply did not match the experience. While the platform made booking easy, this property failed on every level. I regret having to say this, but we absolutely cannot recommend it to anyone.

Staying at Annabel's of Bryanston felt like coming home—warm, welcoming, and effortlessly relaxing. Nestled in a quiet, serene neighborhood, the hotel exudes charm from the moment you arrive. The interior design is elegant yet cozy, with immaculate cleanliness and thoughtful details everywhere. The lush gardens and beautifully maintained lawns add a peaceful, almost tranquil vibe that makes it easy to unwind. The staff truly stand out—they’re friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. From the first greeting, I felt at ease, and their proactive support made every need feel anticipated rather than asked. Whether you're here for a quiet escape or a stress-free getaway, this place delivers. Life feels simpler, calmer, and more enjoyable—exactly what a perfect stay should be.

We stayed at the charming self-catering cottage on a peaceful estate, and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The property is quiet, well-maintained, and offers a lovely garden with a refreshing pool—perfect for unwinding after a busy day. The hosts were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We especially appreciated the delicious breakfast served before check-out—it was a thoughtful touch. Secure parking was available, which added to the peace of mind. The only minor suggestion would be upgrading the shower mixer tap and showerhead, as they could use a bit more modernization. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations—great location, excellent comfort, and a wonderful balance between privacy and hospitality. A truly memorable stay.

The hotel has a slightly vintage decor, but it's well-maintained and feels clean and welcoming throughout. The rooms are spacious—definitely more than average—and the underground parking is a huge plus for convenience and security. Breakfast was exceptional: fresh, abundant, and delicious with a great variety of options. The on-site restaurant stands out too—elegant yet cozy, with thoughtful dishes and friendly service. Even though the style leans classic, the attention to detail and comfort makes it feel modern in spirit. A fantastic choice if you're looking for a reliable, high-quality stay in Sandton.

Staying at Sandton Executive Suites Hydro Park was a disappointing experience. The term 'executive' doesn't reflect the actual service or professionalism one would expect—this place felt more like a high-security facility than a hotel. Even having a drink in your room triggered constant attention from security staff, making it feel oppressive and unwelcoming. The location is decent and close to public transit, but the overall atmosphere and treatment of guests were far from comfortable or respectful. I wouldn’t recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay. Avoid at all costs.

The stay was generally positive, with the highlight being the excellent swimming pool and beautifully maintained garden—clearly a result of dedicated care from the groundskeeper. It made the property feel peaceful and welcoming. That said, the kitchen could use some improvement—there were no drinking glasses at all, and cooking utensils were limited. Bringing your own glassware is a must. Despite this small drawback, the overall experience was solid, especially for the price. The location is convenient for exploring Johannesburg, and public transport access is straightforward. A great option if you're looking for a relaxed, clean hostel vibe with good outdoor spaces.

Finding a peaceful retreat in the heart of Johannesburg is rare, but Highgrove Guesthouse delivers exactly that. Nestled in the quiet and safe Morningside area, the property boasts lush greenery and a serene atmosphere. The spacious, bright rooms are spotless thanks to daily cleaning, and the comfortable beds make for a restful night’s sleep. Breakfast is a highlight—fresh, delicious, and served with rich, aromatic coffee. Special shoutout to Chris, Alison, and the entire team for their genuine warmth and hospitality; they made us feel right at home. With its excellent location, thoughtful service, and tranquil vibe, this guesthouse is a standout choice. I’d highly recommend it and will definitely be back.

I stayed at Fernrez@363 Hostel during my time working around Sandton, and I must say it was a great choice. The location is super convenient—just a short walk from the city center and easy to reach via public transport. The hostel itself is quiet and peaceful, which made it perfect for relaxing after a long day at work. It's also very affordable, offering solid value for money without compromising on comfort. Khethiwe, the staff member I interacted with, was incredibly helpful and always went the extra mile to accommodate my needs. Knowing I could rely on them made my stay stress-free, especially when juggling a busy schedule. While the place isn’t flashy, it’s clean, well-maintained, and offers a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for a reliable, no-fuss base in Johannesburg with friendly service and good value, this is definitely worth considering.
