10 hotels in Johannesburg: Best hotel deals for 2023

August 14, 2022 Toi Mattera

Johannesburg is the place to go to mix big-city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. Explore caves and nature reserves, or visit a traditional village by day, then enjoy dinner at a hip cafe or five-star restaurant. And if you're a shopper, bring an extra, empty suitcase. With malls, open-air markets and places that blend the two, you'll find plenty of unique souvenirs.

I hosted an event at Thaba Eco Hotel and it was pure bliss. The staff went out of their way to accommodate me and my needs. Thank you Brontii-ann for constantly checking up on me and jumping in to reschedule my time lines when the decor lady was late; that genuinely helped ease my stress. Armande thank you for ensuring that my guests are taken care of, for willing to jump in and do my decor because my decor lady was awol. You had a plan B just so my event could continue as planned and I genuinely appreciate that.

This is a beautiful hotel with big rooms and attention to detail. The folks here are wonderful and helpful and remember your name from day to day. They also make arranging the COVID test and airport transfers and tours very easy. I’ll be returning to South Africa in a year and will definitely be staying here again.

My family and I recently spent two nights at The Residence at the start of our safari trip and I could not think of a better place to begin our adventures. We were treated with such kindness and professionalism .... no request was too much! While every single staff member was wonderful, in particular, Nosipho at the front desk was AMAZING. She took care of every last detail of our stay and made sure things went smoothly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Clico Boutique Hotel

Opened in 2006, Clico Boutique Hotel is perfectly situated in the leafy and upmarket suburb of Rosebank in Johannesburg – South Africa. Centrally located to the “Joburg” city centre, high end business hubs such as Melrose and Sandton and metres away from the Rosebank Clinic, Clico’s location is convenience at your fingertips. Just 900 metres away from the Rosebank Gautrain station, the OR Tambo International airport is now only 20 “stress free” minutes away. Clico was established by Jeanette Schwegman, who wanted to cater for the travel-weary and discerning guest looking for that intimate experience by paying attention to all the important details.

Escape to an age of elegance and grandeur at the Gold Reef City Theme Park Hotel. Located within Africa's biggest theme park, the hotel is reminiscent of an authentic turn-of-the-century mining town. Staying at the hotel also gives you free access to a multitude of fun filled attractions and entertainment in the theme park. Please note the Theme Park is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during Gauteng School holidays.The adjacent Gold Reef City Casino complex offers a variety of dining and other entertainment options.

Hotel and Theme Park needs an Upgrade

Reviewed By themohuns

Stayed with family for three nights. This was our second stay at the hotel but first time for my nephew and his parents as it was his birthday. I understand and accept Covid Changes but Breakfast has minimal and repetitive options. Theme Park cannot even be called one. It's just a glorified amusement park with rides and games. After interacting with some Eateries and fellow guests, closing times of those establishments should be extended past the closing times of the park. On a positive note, some of the staff both at the hotel and park were accomodating and helpful whilst I duly noted that others literally didn't even want to be there to do their jobs.

Pablo House have 24hour staff on duty to make sure you always have someone to help with whatever you need. Come stay at Pablo House and see what you think!

This Place is a Gem

Reviewed By dalebryk

Pablo House was a bit of a splurge for one night but so worth it. The pictures don’t do it justice. What a gorgeous home - it really feels like a home but run like a hotel. The night manager took such good care of us when we arrived bleary-eyed before the crack of dawn - above and beyond the call of duty. Such a lovely person. All of the staff were so generous and accommodating. We had the duplex - spectacular. I wish we could have stayed longer. Restaurant was excellent and lively. Interesting to chat w people in the cozy lounge area but you could also read or have a drink by yourself. The concierge set us up with a wonderful guide, Kevin. I thought it was just for Soweto (do not miss a visit there) and would not normally book a city tour but he took us around for a full day. We could never have learned what is going on in all the different neighborhoods and how they are changing without him. The back garden with small pool is a lovely oasis but it was too chilly to swim, we’ll have to come back in summer. I can’t imagine staying any place else in Joburg. Melville is also great, one of the few places you can walk around comfortably and not be within a gated mall.

Authentic, Clean, Diverse in the Amentities it offers, Excellent Service

Reviewed By adamgO3760KR

If you are traveing to Johannesburgh for any reason, business, personal, with family or friends, then you stay at the Reef Hotel. Its selling points include affordability, proximity to the Airport and the Gautrain, the public transportation system that will get you where you need to go in the city, the comfortability of the rooms where you will sleep, the quality of service by those that work there, and the breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the restaurant within the hotel. It is quiet and within walking distance of many sites you may want to visit when in Johannesburgh. Affordable cabs or taxis can drive you to Mandel's House, Soweto, and the Futbol stadiums which may be a 10-15 minute drive away.
