Thanks to the platform’s prompt and professional support, the refund was resolved quickly and smoothly—no stress at all. The property itself is charming, nestled in a quiet yet convenient part of Johannesburg, close to dining and attractions.

HomeBase Melville - Hostel
I stayed at HomeBase Melville Hostel for over two weeks, and it quickly became my favourite spot in Johannesburg. The hostel is located within a secure compound, making it feel safe and welcoming—perfect for solo travelers or those looking to settle in for a while. The Wi-Fi is reliable, the hot showers work great, and having access to shared kitchens makes cooking your own meals easy and cost-effective. The staff are genuinely friendly and always ready to help—especially appreciated after I was mugged downtown. They went above and beyond to support me, which made a huge difference. The neighborhood itself is vibrant: 7th Street is packed with restaurants and bars, ideal for evening outings. Just a short walk away, you’ll find the Koppies Nature Reserve and Botanical Gardens—great spots for hiking, fresh air, and escaping city chaos. Supermarkets like Spar and Pick&Pay are conveniently close, so grocery runs are hassle-free. Getting into the city is simple too—public transport options include the Rea Vaya C4 and T3 bus lines, which are affordable and efficient. For more flexibility, Bolt and Uber taxis are reasonably priced outside peak hours. Overall, this hostel offers a fantastic balance of safety, comfort, convenience, and local charm. Highly recommended for anyone exploring Joburg on a budget.
Sun1 Berea
Staying at Sun1 Berea was an absolutely delightful experience. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between peace and proximity to Johannesburg’s vibrant city life—calm enough to relax, yet close enough to enjoy all the energy of the urban center. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and respectful throughout my entire stay. From check-in to checkout, they went above and beyond to ensure comfort and convenience. Every room was spotlessly clean, with fresh towels and everything you’d need readily available. If something was missing, just ask—they responded instantly and with genuine care. It’s clear this team truly values guest satisfaction. I’ve never felt more welcomed or well taken care of. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting Johannesburg.
Ecomotel Grayston Previously Known As Sun1 Wynberg
I stayed at Ecomotel Grayston (formerly Sun1 Wynberg) for one night and overall, it was a decent experience for a budget motel. The location is excellent—close to public transit and surrounded by restaurants and shops, making it very convenient for exploring Johannesburg. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay, always willing to assist with any request. However, the rooms themselves are quite small and lacked basic amenities like a minibar or cooling storage, which was a bit inconvenient. The shower had a tiny control knob for adjusting water temperature, and getting warm water took some time—frustrating after a long day. Also, the photos online are misleading; they make the room look much larger and more spacious than it actually is. In reality, only your head and lower legs would be visible in the frame. There was also an incident where a group was locked out of their room, and despite reaching out, reception didn’t resolve it promptly. Still, considering the price point, it’s a solid option if you're looking for a no-frills, functional stay with good service and great access to the city.
Timebridge Mansion
Staying at Timebridge Mansion was a great experience for our trip to Johannesburg. The location was perfect—quiet yet close to everything we needed, and the room was cozy, clean, and well-maintained. Host Sonny went above and beyond with his warm hospitality—he shared local tips, made us feel welcome, and was always available when needed. We’d definitely stay here again if we ever return to this part of the city. One thing to note: the driveway is quite steep, so low-clearance vehicles should proceed with caution. With a bit of practice, it’s manageable, but worth mentioning for those driving a compact or lowered car. Overall, a fantastic stay with excellent value and a welcoming atmosphere.
Garden Court Sandton City
I always choose this hotel whenever I'm in Johannesburg for business trips, and it never disappoints. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from Sandton City, with excellent access to shopping malls, restaurants, and public transit. The staff are incredibly attentive and always go the extra mile, making me feel welcome every time. They even remember my preferences and make special arrangements, which really adds a personal touch. The room is clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering a peaceful retreat after a long day. It's not just convenient—it’s a great value for the quality. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Johannesburg, whether for work or leisure.

Our stay at Southern Sun Rosebank was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we arrived, every detail—from pick-up coordination to check-in and room assignment—was seamless and well-organized.

The bathroom had a smart wet/dry separation and high-quality toiletries—small touches that make a big difference. Staff were friendly and attentive, offering genuine hospitality throughout my stay.

I stayed at The Monarch Hotel throughout July and honestly couldn’t bring myself to leave. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere felt elegant yet intimate—effortlessly classy in every way. It’s truly one of the finest hotels in Johannesburg. The team made me feel right at home from day one. A huge thank you to Suhayl, Bongani, Siya, Frank, Nthando, Blessing, and everyone else on staff—you all played a part in making my stay unforgettable.

Check-in was super smooth—our host, a lovely white lady, was incredibly welcoming and helped with everything from the start. She even gave us great tips on local spots and how to get around by train to downtown Johannesburg.

The security is top-tier, and the staff went above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and safe. They’re kind, attentive, and always ready to help with any request. Fresh bedding is regularly changed, and the bathrooms are well-equipped with quality toiletries—truly thought of everything. I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
