Ten Bompas Hotel
I can't say enough good things about Ten Bompas Hotel. After growing skeptical of the boutique hotel label—often meaning overpromised, overpriced, and underdelivered—I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ten Bompas is the real deal. As one of South Africa’s original boutique properties, it truly lives up to its reputation. The staff throughout the property were exceptional—from front desk to housekeeping. We arrived after a long trip through Namibia with a huge load of laundry, and I was shocked to discover that laundry service was included at no extra cost. Kudos to the housekeeper who handled everything so efficiently—she absolutely earned her tip! Every team member embodies what hospitality should be: warm, thoughtful, and genuine. I especially want to highlight General Manager Sean for his outstanding leadership and personal touch. But honestly, every single person we interacted with made us feel welcome. The food was another highlight—the chicken was hands-down the best I’ve had in South Africa. And yes, the fireplace is wood-burning—a rare and delightful touch these days. If you get the chance to stay here, don’t hesitate. It’s a true gem, and worth every penny.
Southern Sun Hyde Park Sandton
Absolutely loved my stay! The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to arrange airport pickup—such a helpful touch. Breakfast was delicious, and room service was prompt and well-executed. I’ll definitely book here again if I’m ever back in Johannesburg. 💕❤️ The rooms were clean and comfortable, but it would’ve been nice if basic amenities like robes, slippers, shampoo, and shower gel were provided upon arrival—especially after a long flight. Also, having bottled water available in the room right away would’ve made the experience even better. Overall, the hotel offers great value, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A real gem in Sandton!
84 on Fourth Guest House
The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Our family room came with a fully equipped kitchen, which was perfect for enjoying a relaxed breakfast in the comfort of our accommodation before heading out to explore the city. The place was well-maintained, cozy, and spotlessly clean—exactly what you want when traveling. While we didn’t get to use the shared indoor and outdoor areas much due to being out most of the time and the weather not being ideal, it’s great to know they’re available if needed. It’s clear the hosts care about guest comfort and experience. This stay exceeded expectations, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, convenient, and well-kept base in Johannesburg.

The property itself is incredibly peaceful and beautifully decorated, with everything you need to enjoy meals in-house. Whether you're looking to relax after a long day or simply want to savor a quiet dinner in a cozy setting, this place delivers.

Emmarentia Guest House
I absolutely loved staying at Emmarentia Guest House! The location is convenient—just a short ride from the city center, and everything I needed was within easy reach. The property feels secure with a closed-off compound, which gave me peace of mind. My room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable—perfect for a relaxing stay. Breakfast was simple but filling, so I never felt hungry. Unfortunately, they don’t provide dry rations, and since we left extremely early in the morning (after already paying for breakfast), we only managed to brew our own coffee. There’s a pool on-site, but we didn’t get to use it due to the weather. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—always smiling, quick to respond, and genuinely welcoming. Overall, this place offers great value and a warm, homely vibe. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Johannesburg.
The Pecan Tree Guesthouse
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.

The location is excellent—just a short walk from my workplace, which made my daily commute stress-free. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and always ready to help, even though I don’t speak English fluently. They took the time to explain everything clearly, using simple language and gestures that made communication easy and comfortable. The room was clean, cozy, and well-maintained, with a quiet atmosphere that helped me relax after long workdays. I truly appreciated the personal touch and attention to detail. For anyone visiting Johannesburg for work or travel, this guesthouse offers great value and a warm, home-like feel. I highly recommend it and will definitely return on my next trip.
Life on 3rd
The stay was absolutely wonderful—the bed was incredibly comfortable, the shower worked perfectly, and everything in the room was clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully arranged. Hostess Livia was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with any request. The location is peaceful and quiet, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. I noticed security personnel on the street nearby when I arrived, which added an extra layer of comfort. I left early and missed breakfast, which is only served at 7:00 AM, but that didn’t take away from how satisfied I was with my entire experience. This place truly exceeded expectations—highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, safe, and friendly stay in Johannesburg.

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.

Grace Guest House
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.

Absolutely fantastic value for money! For the price, this hostel delivers everything you'd want—clean, safe, and located in a prime spot just a short walk from Rosebank Mall.
