Gardenia Boutique Hotel

The property doesn't quite match the current photos online—there's a noticeable difference between what's shown and the actual condition. The rooms feel dated, and some updates would really help improve the overall experience. That said, it's conveniently located near public transit, making it easy to get around Johannesburg. For budget travelers, it offers decent value for money. One thing worth mentioning: smoking should not be allowed in shared areas, as it can affect others' comfort. Clearer rules and enforcement would go a long way in maintaining a pleasant environment for all guests.

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.

Garden Court Eastgate

Located just under 15 km from the airport and less than 3 km from Chinatown, Garden Court Eastgate offers incredible convenience. The nearby Eastgate Mall is perfect for shopping or grabbing a bite, and there’s even a gas station right across the street—ideal for road trips. 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.

Cleanliness stood out too—everything was spotless, from the linens to the bathroom, no musty smells or grime. What really impressed us was the quiet atmosphere. 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.
