• gsc (7/5): Empfehlenswerter Ersatz für das 12Decades Art Hotel. Werde wieder hier buchen. - sehr günstiger Preis, zentrale Lage, einige Restaurants in Gehdistanz, erstaunlich ruhig im sonst sehr lärmigen Maboneng. Ansprechende Architektur der Anlage. Wifi funktionierte nicht, am 1. Tag fiel gab es kein warmes Wasser, Vermieter kümmerte sich aber umgehend darum. Enges Platzverhältnisse (aber beim verlangten Preis darf man nicht mehr erwarten. Betonboden ohne Teppich - Hausschuhe mitbringen. Google Maps bzw. Uber kennt die Unterkunft nicht. Fahrer fragte sich geduldig durch.
• Xolani (10/5): -
• Lungelo (10/5): -
• Makgotso (6/5): Okay. - I liked the pricing, very cost effective and budget friendly. The place was clean and well kept. As usual the security guards were super helpful and friendly. There was no heater or extra blankets like there usually is. The water wasn't hot enough. It wasn’t easy to locate the room and the sensor lights made harder to see where one was going.
• Bafana (5/5): - It’s was clean..mostly and the bed was so perfect The wifi was not working so it kinda made the stay not as good….
• Mlungisi (10/5): -

• Promise Ralekanne (1/5): - First day when I arrived the room waz clean...and I book for full two days and nobody cleaned the room... My bin waz full ended use plastics to make bins there waz no tissue... What pissed me even more... Yesterday 29/04/2026 as I waz waiting for my Uber waited at the reception I waz eating my takeaway so when my Uber arrived u just rushed there and forgot to throw my it or take it with me..... Guess what when I arrived later that evening I found that takeaway thrown in to my door upstairs... Right in my door I andastand dat I shouldn't hv left it there but for them to drop in my room😢 that waz low and rude... I'm very much disappointed I've paid for parking but u didn't mention on the booking I thought it's free and u didn't mention that it waz separate rooms since we came as family others had to sleep down floor others had to sleep upstairs
• constance (10/5): The stay was amazing, everything was just cool - I liked everything Nothing at all

• Malao (9/5): -
• Makhosi (5/5): -
• Pholosi (5/5): -
• Phumla (9/5): Excellent - My experience was so much better than the previous one . Fresh linen( white sheets are always a cherry on top for me) , fresh towels , hot water, good WiFi , exactly as the pictures, provision of toilet paper, fewer if not -no cockroaches at all . The appliances are exactly as described on the booking . Curtain was washed and there were less hassles during check in. I appreciated the stay so much , this time around was an elevated experience. Thank you They still seem a bit disorganised about the key issue during check in . Last booking I spent hours waiting for the key at reception. Even though the wait was a couple of minutes this time around whilst they tried getting hold of the cleaner , I do wish that they would be better organised and ensure that the key is readily accessible by the time of check in .
• Roslinna (7/5): - Easy access to local shops and bars for night life not bad Pictures advertised for that room online ain't the same probably they should take exactly pics as the room amd their sink drainage was leaking.
• Zangarico (7/5): - Location Untidy

• Zamambo (4/5): - The location of the place was good. Everything you need is there A bad thing happened was the electricity 💔 being cut off, there was no backup at least to make our stay comfortable. For 2 days staying there with no electricity and bathing with cold water it was the worst experience ever
• Mkhize (10/5): -
• Jonhson (10/5): - It was super clean and everything was perfect, though the Wi-fi was slow but it was good Nothing

• Sello (10/5): Clean,Comfortable and homey place, worth the price. Very satisfied with my stay. - The place is very nice and clean which made it easy for us to feel comfortable and right at home. I also loved the view on the balcony. The bed was very comfortable . I love how the place is very affordable and worth the price charged. I would love to come back again. Nothing .
• nkwanyana (7/5): Always a comfortable stay in my tiny little corner. I look forward to it each time. - The place is clean, sheets are fresh, has all the utensils mentioned, free WiFi, hot shower and helpful staff. It’s my 3rd time booking at this apartment and I’m happy to say I will continue to book for as long as I need affordable accommodation in Joburg. The security is tight within the premises. There isn’t much to complain about considering the price you pay 😹. The location is not the prettiest but it doesn’t really affect me coz I the uber drops me off and picks me up right at the door.
• Lucetta Nancy (5/5): -
• Geoffrey (7/5): I had a pleasant and comfortable stay at Craftsman, with friendly staff and a convenient location. - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Craftsman by Design. Upon arrival, I encountered one or two minor issues; however, these were largely beyond the owner’s control—particularly challenges related to Joburg Water. That said, investing in a water tank could be a worthwhile consideration for the business moving forward. There were also a few small aspects related to personal preference that could enhance the guest experience. For example, a daily check-in from housekeeping to offer room cleaning and bin emptying would be appreciated. Additionally, regular pest control maintenance would help prevent occasional sightings of cockroaches. Aside from these minor points, my stay was very pleasant. The staff were consistently helpful, warm, and friendly, and the owner was approachable and accommodating throughout. The location is convenient, within walking distance of malls and shops, which made it easy for me to take care of personal admin during my visit from out of town. Thank you to Harry and the team for your hospitality and for making my stay comfortable and productive. I would definitely return and recommend the establishment to others. I would rate my experience a solid 7 to 7.5 out of 10, with clear potential to reach a 10 with a few improvements. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Craftsman by Design.

• Phumla (7/5): It was good. - I enjoyed having my own little corner, the WiFi is very good , staff was very friendly they even helped me with my luggage. Bed comfortable and on an overall generally a clean space. Lastly, I appreciated being provided with toilet paper for the price I paid😹. Cockroaches , Ironing board was broken which made it difficult for me to iron but I’m glad they had an iron. The curtain needs a wash the stains look unpleasant. It’s just the little things which can be fixed otherwise it’s good value for money I would definitely book again.
• Nosolo (10/5): Very nice and comfortable stay -
• Indwe (4/5): - The location This unit needs deep cleaning, the curtains are smelly and dirty, pest control services are required cockroaches are even in the bathroom, the drain needs to be checked water builds up when showering, the cups needs to be changed one had a crack, there were no drinking glasses, there was a lot of dust , the wood in the ceiling needs to be cleaned. The actual pillows need to be washed.. ayy I'll leave it here... I've booked with Trendy apartment before, I got a different apartment that I liked, not this one ..

• Monique (5/5): -
• Laban (1/5): It was terrible to be honest. From the host to the quality of the apartment - The Wi-Fi & that’s all The poor customer service, the quality of the apartment, dirty sheets, dirty kitchen utensils, unhygienic bathroom, roaches everywhere in the apartment. This is a terrible stay. The shower head doesn’t even have pressure so you can’t even joy the water at all.
• Mbelu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Luyanda (10/5): Exceptional -

• Naledi (1/5): Bad - At night I couldn't sleep because someone from around were having sex and it was so loud. I had to buy my own data to watch movies on my phone because apparently WIFI was stolen and nothing could be done about it which is very pathetic. The host lied about sending me data which he didn't hence I bought my own data.
• Pelo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kamalandela (9/5): Superb -
• Mathenjwa (5/5): Passable - The set up was cute The place did not have a couch so had to almost bed bound. The balcony only had chairs but no table. There was no fan in the room so had to sleep with the balcony slide door open for cool air especially coz it was hot. The place had insects (🪳) you know those tiny ones ...so had to store even cupboard items in the fridge but also was not working properly 😕 the ice took forever to freeze. The shower didn't have a shower rack so shower times were a bit frustrating
• Relebohile (5/5): My stay was good because of the company I had, not the Apartment. - I liked the location and how easy it was to check-in and check-out. It's a nice and cozy apartment but it's infested with cockroaches, the cleanliness is subpar, I would've enjoyed my stay if i wasn't fighting off cockroaches ever 20-30 minutes.
• Tyro (3/5): Cleanliness on kitchen unit especially is bad - Location and the comfortness of the room both great Cokroaches on kitchen cupboards...my food was spoilt.
• Keshia (10/5): Exceptional - It was nice and the place was the same a the pictures , the staff was friendly
• Zanele (7/5): Good - Private space. Comfy bed. Roaches
