Johannesburg Accomodation
 

My husband and I will be staying in Johannesburg for 4 nights at the beginning of December on our way to Zambia. We have been there a number of times and this time just want to do some shopping, movies, dinners, theatre etc and would like to stay close to Sandton City shopping centre and Nelson Mandela square. We would like something nice but not too expensive, a guest house or boutique hotel would be perfect. Looking at the $150 to $200 per night range and there seems to be plenty available but just wondering if anyone has any personal recommendations.

Thanks for your help.

We have stayed at
http://www.clicoguesthouse.com/
which was wonderful. Very personal, excellent meals (owner has wordked as a CHEF in upmarket restaurants in SA and loves to perpares meals to guest's preferences)

Happy travels!

Thanks SV, it looks very nice but is around $300 per night which is more than we want to spend.

Sorry Bwino. I did not check the rate as we paid roughly 1700ZAR two years ago.
Obviously SA is also going wild with the rates :(

Have a look at the http://www.portfoliocollection.com/

They have got several "collections": B+B, country places etc etc

They do a quality check per annum to make sure all the establishments keep up to their promises.

You most probably find a great B+B in Rosenbank or Sandton close to the malls, restaurants etc.

Further happy planning!

SV

Thanks SV, you are right there are plenty of places around Rosebank and Sandton.

I would second Portfolio Collection

Thanks - I think I am going to book this place -
