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.

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.

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 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.

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.
