Top Johannesburg CBD Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay and super convenient! Highly recommend."

Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed on 3 separate occasions during our stay in Johannesburg. The proximity to the airport is excellent. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good and the pool was lovely. The service from all the staff was excellent. They were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The IHG rewards app is definitely worth having."

ONOMO Hotel Johannesburg Sandton

8/10 Good

"This hotel is as advertised - 3-star, nothing too fancy. But it is in good condition, has an excellent location (restaurants, shops and the convention centre), and the staff's attitude is really great. This is the 3rd time I've stayed here, and it is always consistent. The included breakfast is also not over the top, but it has everything one needs. Great (free) on-site parking as well."
