House on York
Staying at House on York was an absolute delight from start to finish. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center, with easy access to public transport and all the local buzz. As soon as you step into the courtyard, you're greeted by a peaceful, thoughtfully designed space that sets the tone for a relaxing stay. The room itself was cozy, well-appointed, and warmly decorated—feels like home away from home. What truly surprised me was finding a small fitness corner tucked in the garden; it’s such a thoughtful touch for guests who want to stay active without leaving the property. The staff went above and beyond—everyone, from front desk team to the manager and even the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. On one evening, the area lost power, and instead of leaving us in the dark, the manager personally brought over two LED lanterns. It was such a considerate gesture that made a big difference. Special shoutout to Tino—he was consistently helpful, professional, and genuinely kind. This place isn’t just a hotel; it’s a true home base with heart. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Johannesburg, and I’ll definitely be back.
Waverley Guest House
The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and warm from the moment we arrived. We landed exhausted after a long flight from Canada and were pleasantly surprised to get early access to our room—no waiting, just instant comfort. The location is excellent, just a short walk to downtown Johannesburg, making it super convenient for exploring. The whole experience felt personal and genuine, and I’d absolutely stay here again. A true gem in the heart of the city.
Miraton Guest Lodge
Staying at Miraton Guest Lodge was an absolute highlight of my trip to Johannesburg! The hospitality truly went above and beyond—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. From the moment I arrived, the hosts were there to greet me, help with luggage, and even gave personalized tips on local spots, including a hidden gem of a BBQ place that turned out to be one of the best meals I’ve had in South Africa. The room was immaculate, comfortable, and quiet—the bed was perfect for a good night’s sleep, and the AC worked flawlessly without any noise. It’s located just steps away from the subway, making downtown access super easy. What stood out most was how personal and thoughtful the experience felt, like staying with friends rather than a hotel. If you’re visiting Johannesburg, this is hands-down my top recommendation. A true gem!
Central Lodge Hotels
The Central Lodge Hotels in Johannesburg is incredibly clean—every corner of the room felt fresh and well-maintained. From the crisp linens to the spotless bathroom, it’s clear they take pride in hygiene and upkeep. The location is convenient for getting around town via public transit, and there are plenty of local eateries nearby. It’s a great value for the quality, and I’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for travelers looking for a clean, comfortable base in Johannesburg.
Houghton Guest House
We stayed for four nights at Houghton Guest House, and overall, it was a peaceful and quiet experience—perfect if you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle. The bed was comfortable and cozy, though the bottom sheet had a small hole (nothing major). Room size was just right, with a compact but functional mini-fridge that's a bit old-school, plus tea and coffee-making facilities. WiFi worked well, and MNet connectivity was reliable. The decor felt a little dated, and some items needed attention—like the shower door and bathroom light—but nothing too disruptive. There’s plenty of closet space and a mini safe for valuables. The shower itself is spacious and delivers strong hot water, which is always a win. The property is gated with an electric fence, and night-time security is on duty. All doors are secured with key cards—great for peace of mind. Located in a central spot, it’s convenient for exploring Johannesburg, and we were the only guests during our stay, so privacy was excellent. Breakfast is prepared by Semi, the owner, who charges R100 per person (£5). It includes scrambled eggs, bacon, frankfurters, toast, and unlimited tea or coffee. She cooks on a stove that’s clearly not up to standard—evidence that maintenance isn’t a priority—but her dedication shines through. Semi handles everything: front desk, cleaning, laundry, gate duties, even helping guests with their clothes. She’s shy, humble, and incredibly honest. She’ll happily do your laundry too—just be generous with your tip, as she earns very little. We paid R2000 for four nights, which feels fair given the personal touch and quiet atmosphere. There’s also a shared lounge area with tables and chairs where you can enjoy breakfast or relax. A big thank you to Semi for all your hard work, kindness, and genuine hospitality—it truly makes this guest house special.
Shengtang Business Hotel
Staying at Shengtang Business Hotel in Johannesburg's Chinatown was an absolute highlight of my trip. The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the bustling Chinese community, just about 7.5 km from the airport. The hotel offers a convenient airport transfer service that made my arrival stress-free. Step outside and you're surrounded by authentic Chinese restaurants—Fisherman's Island, Shunde Restaurant, Wagan Family, Wangjiao Dining, Chongqing Hotpot, and Northeast Dumplings all within walking distance. Need groceries? The Wanfu Lai supermarket has everything from fresh produce to pantry staples, including a wide selection of teas. Everything I needed for daily life was just steps away. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with excellent value for money. Safety, convenience, and authenticity—it’s rare to find all three in one place. If you’re visiting Johannesburg and want to feel at home while experiencing real Chinese culture, this hotel is a must-try.

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.

As part of a trusted chain, this three-star property delivers solid cleanliness, security, and attentive front desk service. Breakfast is simple but satisfying—definitely better than many post-pandemic hotel breakfasts I’ve experienced in the U.S., with fresh ingredients and decent variety. Overall, it’s a reliable, well-located option with great value, especially if you’re looking for comfort and convenience without breaking the bank.

Park Hyatt Johannesburg truly exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the city center and close to great restaurants and shopping spots. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable, with a plush bed that made for a restful night's sleep. 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 especially appreciated the welcome gift upon check-in—it felt personal and thoughtful.
