1 The Bannister Hotel

Well decorated bathroom and room but it was rather cramped. There was underground parking but it was not guarded. From the parking to the hotel you have to walk through an alleyway.There is a bar/restaurant in the hotel that serves breakfast. The location is accessible and has many stores around it.
2 Pablo House - Melville Guest House

5 The Peech Hotel

Our first time at The Peech Hotel was to enjoy a pop-up restaurant vibe at Basalt, their restaurant, collaborating with La Petite Maison. 5 courses with wine pairings. It was absolute perfection, from start to finish. The squid ink risotto is right up there in the top 5 things I've ever eaten in my life, and I'm 50 and I've lived in 5 countries. The service was equally wonderful, especially from Clive, the sommelier. Lovely, simple decor. Understated, casual elegance in every detail. A real treat.

I am truly grateful for my wife and I's experience at the Fauchil Hotel; it was nothing short of amazing. We went for our 8th anniversary, and they were generous enough to upgrade our room free of charge and not only that, but they also decorated the room with roses on the bed. There was a bottle cold bottle of sparkling wine chilling in our room. The dinner at the Fredrick Hotel was exceptional, the waiter decorated our table with roses, and we had a lovely time. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate the hospitality. The hotel, restaurant, the pool and the drive-in is so beautiful.

What a beautiful place. My stay at Hadeda was a lovely experience all in all. Booked for the weekend of 5 - 7 March, the Hadeda Garden room. The rooms are amazing but thats not the only thing that makes this place amazing. The owners Brian and Maiky are very exceptional, and very kind people to be around. He was very polite to show us around. It was my partners birthday, they made sure that she receives a bottle of bubbly on arrival on them. I, Thank Them very much my stay was amazing. Will definitely love to return and would advice anymore to book Hadeda.

Thank you to all the people at Hospice. They helped me with my father in my time of need. I could not handle my father's illness on my own, both physically and emotionally and i was really getting depressed about it. Losing my father has been difficult. Without Hospice , I can't imagine what would have happened. Thank you Hospice ❤️

19 The Residence

I usually use the spa at The Residence and it’s one of my favorites in Johannesburg. I go regularly for face peels and every single time I feel welcomed and the experience is amazing.
I always get the peel using Biomedical Emporium products - these products are Proudly South African and is truly phenomenal. They feel great on the skin.
The setting of the spa is tranquil and the view is beautiful.
