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.
54 on Bath, Johannesburg Rosebank
Staying at 54 on Bath in Rosebank was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just steps away from trendy restaurants, shopping spots, and local attractions. The rooms are spacious, well-designed, and incredibly comfortable, with a perfect blend of modern style and cozy touches. Everything felt clean, quiet, and thoughtfully arranged. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This place truly delivers on comfort, convenience, and value—definitely a top pick if you're visiting Johannesburg.
Ten Bompas Hotel
I can't say enough good things about Ten Bompas Hotel. After growing skeptical of the boutique hotel label—often meaning overpromised, overpriced, and underdelivered—I was pleasantly surprised to find that Ten Bompas is the real deal. As one of South Africa’s original boutique properties, it truly lives up to its reputation. The staff throughout the property were exceptional—from front desk to housekeeping. We arrived after a long trip through Namibia with a huge load of laundry, and I was shocked to discover that laundry service was included at no extra cost. Kudos to the housekeeper who handled everything so efficiently—she absolutely earned her tip! Every team member embodies what hospitality should be: warm, thoughtful, and genuine. I especially want to highlight General Manager Sean for his outstanding leadership and personal touch. But honestly, every single person we interacted with made us feel welcome. The food was another highlight—the chicken was hands-down the best I’ve had in South Africa. And yes, the fireplace is wood-burning—a rare and delightful touch these days. If you get the chance to stay here, don’t hesitate. It’s a true gem, and worth every penny.
Hoeveld House
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. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations or just a friendly chat. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, delicious, and perfectly balanced, setting the tone for a great day. The location is ideal: quiet yet close enough to explore downtown Johannesburg easily by public transit. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of heritage charm, modern comfort, and genuine hospitality. I’d highly recommend this gem to any traveler looking for an authentic, memorable stay in Joburg.
Villa Simonne
Staying at Villa Simonne was an absolute delight from start to finish. The hotel has such a unique, eclectic vibe with beautifully designed lounging areas on each floor—perfect for relaxing or unwinding after a long day. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the breakfast was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. The only minor issue was that one of the balcony doors in our room lacked curtains or shades, but since we were on the third floor, it didn’t really affect privacy or comfort. Overall, this place exceeded our expectations. The ambiance, attention to detail, and warm hospitality made it unforgettable. I’d absolutely book again if I ever return to Johannesburg.
Moonflower Cottages
This place is truly a hidden gem. The location is perfect—quiet and peaceful, yet still within easy walking distance of restaurants, bars, and local shops. I even walked to the Johannesburg Botanical Garden without any hassle. Grocery stores and pharmacies are just a short stroll away, making daily essentials super convenient. Jamie, who runs the property, is incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful—always ready to assist with tips or recommendations. I stayed here twice, each time in a different cottage, and both were clean, well-maintained, and full of charm. On my second visit, I was upgraded to Cottage 4—the one I affectionately called my 'Princess Tower'—and it was absolutely stunning. Spacious, cozy, and beautifully decorated, it felt like a little retreat all its own. The driver Chris, recommended by Jamie, was also fantastic—he’s reliable, professional, and went out of his way to help me on multiple occasions. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and memorable. This isn’t just a stay—it’s a home-away-from-home with heart.
Elizabeth Manor Guest House
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. Safety is top-notch; there’s 24/7 security at the front desk, so we felt completely at ease throughout our stay. The room had all the essentials: strong AC, reliable hot water, and fast Wi-Fi—no missing gadgets here. 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. 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.
Ten Stirling B&B
I couldn't be happier with my stay at 10 Stirling B&B! The location is perfect—just a short walk from Melrose Arch, where I spent relaxing afternoons in the spacious garden, swimming, and even playing a quick game of tennis. What truly stood out was how well they accommodated my specific breakfast request, which I submitted during booking. They not only remembered it but delivered exactly what I needed—truly thoughtful and attentive service. From the welcoming atmosphere to the little details, this place feels like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and genuine hospitality in Johannesburg.
Hadeda Hall
The service here was exceptional, and the atmosphere of the hotel truly stood out as one of the most memorable stays I've had in years. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with a modern touch. What really impressed me was how peaceful and elegant the overall environment felt—perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The location is convenient, just a short walk from local attractions and public transport. I’ve already recommended this place to friends and family, and I’ll definitely be returning. If you’re looking for a top-tier experience in Johannesburg, this is it.
The Max Hotel Sandton
The location is excellent—quiet yet safe, with easy access to downtown via public transit. The hotel boasts a modern design and well-maintained amenities, making the stay incredibly comfortable. It was a perfect fit for my trip, offering a great balance of convenience and relaxation. I truly enjoyed my experience here and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Johannesburg.
7th Street Guesthouse
My two-day stay at 7th Street Guesthouse in Melville was absolutely delightful. Located just steps from the main street, it’s incredibly convenient for exploring the area—everything is within walking distance. The staff went above and beyond with their warm hospitality and helpfulness; they made me feel right at home. Breakfast was simple but fresh and delicious, especially the house-made pastries and strong, aromatic coffee. The room was compact but spotlessly clean, cozy, and surprisingly comfortable—great mattress, quiet, and well-maintained. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like good lighting and ample outlets. Overall, this place offers fantastic value and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it to travelers looking for a relaxed, authentic Johannesburg experience.
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.
