Independent, Johannesburg - Gauteng Hotels

always stay here. its one of my favourite hotels in the world

I definitely enjoyed my stay here! The staff were wonderful and very helpful and responsive to my needs. When I arrived at the airport they had a shuttle to pick me up immediately. Also, the arranging of my tours went smooth and my tour guide Steven was very knowledgeable and informative. I really appreciated the "honesty policy", not every place will be trusting enough with a self serve bar lol. The atmosphere was very nice and quiet which made it easy to relax. It's gated as well which gives and extra blanet of security. You would have to be an Olympic high jumper to get over that gate but the barbed wire just may get you. The only thing that bothered me was the spider in my sink lol. I have spiders around my home as well so I found it easy to get over, it just left me a bit uneasy being a spider in Africa. I killed the spider and closed the window and solved that problem. I wouldn't change a thing about my stay here and in fact, I'm considering another visit!

They charged us at time of check in saying they did not receive any payment from Expedia. They didn't bother to check before charging and made a big fuss to return them money, and did it only after I put my foot down. One more issue was that they were confused whether or not to charge extra for breakfast. They charged for one day out of 6, and when I demanded an explanation they didn't have one and finally took the charge out. Bottom-line, they do not have any process and people are untrained.

The staff was preoccupied with a wedding and made me wait two hours before letting me into my room. I was checking in early, but I'm not sure it would have mattered what time of day it was because they were so busy with the wedding. Having travelled for two days, I was exhausted and ended up sleeping in my car while I waited! Finally I followed the staff around until they let me into the room. The room itself was nice and comfortable, the the noise from the wedding made it difficult to sleep until late into the night.

Good location walking distance to Loftus Versfeld Stadium, and not far from University and town. Nice outdoor bar garden and eating area.

Nice rooms with garage for your car. Free WIFI in the room. Nice small clean bedroom.

Excellent guest house for the price you pay. Quite neighbour hood and safe. Only problem is you hear flight arrival and departures. Will be noisy sometimes but if you are tired you may not hear anything.

we (me and husband) need to stay in Joberg for 1 night for transit flight, used other hotel before, but this one is much better. Location: it's about 10-15 min drive from the airport, hotel provide shuttle service, our flight was 6am, need to go to airport early, the shuttle was waiting for us at 4:30am sharp, it was a great service. Room: the whole facility looks like a townhouse, 2 floor with each garage at the bottom. Clean, modern, uptodate facilities, provide aircondtion, TV, electric hot pot, tea coffee etc. we stayed in the 1st floor, seem like 2nd flr has a balcony, even park spot. Service: we did not use room service, neither had any time for breakfast...Wifi worked pretty well. Pro: shuttle to airport, around the block has couple of resturants/bar opens late, we had dinner in an indian resturant, decent price, great food, feels safe walking around. Cons: couldn't think of any... I would recommend this hotel.
