The Cliffside Boutique Getaway
If I could give more than 10 stars, I would have absolutely done it here—this place was truly exceptional! Nestled in a luxurious neighborhood, the area feels safe and peaceful, while the villa itself is beautifully appointed with tasteful decor and stunning artwork throughout. It’s the perfect retreat if you’re looking for tranquility, security, discreet hospitality, indulgent experiences, great food, and just a little movement—all without being far from attractions, thanks to affordable Uber rides. We had the best breakfasts of our entire three-week trip across South Africa (and 11 different stays!), plus memorable lunches and dinners featuring creative, standout dishes and surprisingly affordable wines. On our final day, we treated ourselves to a duo relaxation massage—perfectly arranged and utterly blissful. We stayed in the Cliffside room: spacious, elegant, with a gorgeous bathroom, private terrace, and garden overlooking the cliff. We even climbed up to the top for breathtaking panoramic views—absolutely unforgettable. The main pool area, with its incredibly comfortable loungers, wrapped up the experience perfectly. The staff are incredibly kind and professional, striking the ideal balance between boutique hotel charm and private villa freedom—so you can unwind without feeling isolated or confined. If we ever return to Johannesburg, this will be our first choice without hesitation.

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.

Southern Sun Rosebank, Johannesburg
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 staff across all departments—including housekeeping, bar, restaurant, front desk, and security—were consistently friendly, professional, and smiling. The room was immaculate, thoughtfully equipped, and offered a peaceful retreat. Breakfast was generous and diverse, catering to various tastes. The on-site restaurant delivered exceptional cuisine and featured an impressive wine selection. A special thank you to the team who opened the back gate daily, making our departure to Rosebank’s green heart so convenient. The pool, though cool, was a welcome refreshment after a long day. Even with minor renovations underway, there was zero disruption to our comfort or experience. The ambiance was calm and inviting, and the location offered easy access to local attractions. This hotel truly stands out for its service, cleanliness, and attention to detail. We’ll definitely be back.
NH Johannesburg Sandton
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.
Sandton Executive Suites Hydro Park
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.

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. The rooms are beautiful, the hospitality warm and personal, and there’s a quiet charm here that’s hard to find anywhere else. I’m already counting down the days until my next visit.

Despite being close to the city center, the property is peaceful and well-insulated from street noise, making it perfect for a restful night's sleep. The staff went above and beyond—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. This place offers incredible value for money, and I’d definitely book again if ever back in Johannesburg.

Staying at Hoeveld House was an absolute delight from start to finish. This charming old residence has been thoughtfully modernized without losing its original character and soul—walking in feels like stepping into a beautifully preserved piece of history, yet everything is spotless, comfortable, and up-to-date.
