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.

After arriving from London, we stayed here for four nights and couldn’t have been happier. Coming from the cold, dark, damp weather in the UK to this peaceful, beautifully landscaped house with a lovely garden and swimming pool felt like stepping into a dream. Our room—the garden suite—had a direct door opening onto the outdoor space, making it feel private, secure, and incredibly relaxing. Though it’s not near public transit, we had rented a car, so that wasn’t an issue at all. Penny, our host, was absolutely charming and thoughtful—she noticed how warm we were on our first night and brought us a fan late in the evening, which was such a sweet gesture. We loved it so much that we rebooked for our final three nights in South Africa, choosing to stay at Shepherd Lodge instead of any other option. This place truly stands out for its comfort, hospitality, and serene atmosphere—highly recommend for anyone visiting Johannesburg.

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.

Staying at The Pecan Tree Guesthouse was a delightful experience. The setting is absolutely peaceful and beautifully nestled in the hills—perfect for those seeking a quiet retreat. While it's located uphill, having a car makes access seamless. The breakfast was exceptional—fresh, well-prepared, and full of variety. The only minor downside was the pool's cleanliness, but since we were visiting in winter and didn’t use it, it wasn’t an issue. Overall, the ambiance, comfort, and attention to detail make this a standout choice. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway in Johannesburg.

Our stay at Sandown Guest House was absolutely delightful. The moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine hospitality—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, making it a perfect home away from home. Location-wise, it’s just minutes away from public transit and local attractions, which made exploring Johannesburg super convenient. What stood out most was the personal touch—the team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. We felt welcomed, not just as guests but as friends. If you're looking for a peaceful, well-located place to stay in Johannesburg, this is the one. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting!
