Guest Reviews

• Maphindi (10/5): Marvellous - All amazing Nothing
• Edel (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Mefi (10/5): -
• Devon (10/5): - We booked the Penthouse. It was super private and the jacuzzi was a special touch.
• DENISE (9/5): Lovely spot in a beautifully tended part of Johannesburg, very quiet with the most perfect staff - always smiling and ac - Peace and quiet The food could use some updating - soups were fabulous, chicken too overcooked, salmon delivered perfectly!!
• Asanda (10/5): -
• Thabo (10/5): -
• Tshengwedi (10/5): -
• Albert (10/5): Amazing hotel, best service and food - Penthouse was amazing, the photos does not do it justice, pity the weather was not great on the 2nd day since most of what makes this room special is outside. Service (especially Brian) and spa were 5 star and the food is some of the best ever.
• Natalie (10/5): We come back time and time again and always have the most romantic get away. Thank you for setting our room up with rose - We love the beautiful decor and fire place to sit and have afternoon sundowners. Rooms are beautiful and spacious. Nothing
• Lorraine (9/5): -
• marcelo (9/5): Conforto personalizado - Um hotel butique confortável com atendimento personalizado e afetuoso.Que tal jantar ao som de piano ao vivo e lareiras acesas nos ambientes com uma comida saborosa e excelente adega? Recomendo como base em Joanesburgo Foram muito atenciosos comigo e minha família Estava frio e fiquei com impressão de ser um Boiler a aquecer a água,pois água do banho foi esfriando a medida que o tempo passava
• Streich (10/5): Vergangenheit exzellent kombiniert mit High-Class Service - Wir kamen spät an. wurden aber super freundlich empfangen (ein wundervolles Upgrade auf eine Suite) und eine complementary Fußmassage den nächsten Tag. Das Hotel ist im Kolonialstil mit liebevollen Details, einfach das Hotel genießen, tolle Gartenanlage mit 2 Pools (einer beheizt). Das Frühstück ist außergewöhnlich (Sonntags Austern), das Beste, was wir in Südafrika erlebt haben. Alle Mitarbeiter sind von einer ausgesprochenen Herzlichkeit. Das Abendessen ist ebenfalls zu empfehlen, der Drink an der Bar (Kamin) mit Pianospieler ein Muß. Wir haben einen Fahrer gebucht, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten von JoBo zu sehen, alles lief perfekt. Wenn JoBo, dann nur im Residence, es war traumhaft nichts
• Fenton (9/5): Excellent one night stay. Unique boutique hotel very well situated - We had a great time. The dinner was excellent. Rooms were clean and very spacious. Breakfast was just what we needed. So all in all a fantastic experience Can't think of anything
• Gemma Valdez (10/5): - Wonderful staff, gorgeous property. Best meal of our 5 week trip in South Africa and Namibia - try the ostrich steak here!
• Adel (7/5): Good for very old guests - Interior garden Old historical house tuned into hotel
• Deborah (10/5): -
• Lukas Pieter (10/5): -
• Groenewald (9/5): -
• VISHERN (10/5): -
• rebone (7/5): -
• Mondi (10/5): Excellent service, beautiful place. - The penthouse Not much not to like
• Tshegofatso (10/5): My heart is sold❤️ - The breakfast was super good. The best I’ve ever had. So many options to choose from. The Spa’s ambience is top notch and the ladies were very friendly. One thing that stole my heart was the Dinner. Enjoyed the finest dishes whilst watching Live music performance.😍 Nothing!!
• Dwain (9/5): -
• Reem (9/5): -
• Peter (9/5): Excellent, fulfilled our requirements - Breakfast was good, wide variety of items Access at the gate on arrival was slow and we were unable to contact reception via telephone (not sure if we happened to arrive at a busy time). As this is the first impression it should be assessed.
• Vuyo (9/5): Generally all good. - The hotel is an old favourite that we’ve been going to for about 5 years. The food, the staff, location and ambience are great. Having been coming here for as long as we have, we were mortified at the room we stayed at this time. While the bedroom was lovely and comfortable, the shower - you can’t even turn it’s so ridiculously small. Unacceptably small for such an establishment. This room ( room 2)was really not the best as it’s located just above the kitchen and the spa so it’s very noisy. We could hear music in the early hours of the morning. And voices throughout the early evening. Not good if you’re here for a getaway.
• Roshuma (10/5): Restort stay in the city - The location is conveniently located however you feel as if you are not in the city. It has a resort feel with very attentive staff Personally I think hotels should offer terrestrial/local channels or cable. Expecting customers to only use own login details for a hotel of this standard was disappointing.
• Oren (10/5): -
• Schalk (7/5): - Location Airconditioning in room was not working Television defective
• Monique (10/5): -
• Sydney (7/5): -
• LOCATE (10/5): Merveilleux - Absolument tout
• Rodrigo Guzman Barros (10/5): Elegante y sofisticado Hotel Boutique en un excelente barrio de Johannesburg - Espectacular Hotel Boutique en Johannesburg. Elegante, las habitaciones son grandes y muy bien decoradas y la cama es fantástica. Te ofrecen también licores y agua de cortesía. En resumen, un Hotel de lujo, con un personal altamente cualificado. Altamente recomendable!. Todo es espectacular
• Layla (10/5): Brilliance!!! A hidden gem - Second stay within a month! This is a GEM Brilliant service brilliant staff brilliant rooms and pool
• Guest (10/5): -
• Shawn (10/5): Magical stay with impeccable service - best massage treatment I have ever had in my life - the rooms are incredible and the place is just magical - we will stay there every time we are in Jo-berg
• Herdis (9/5): Schöne "alte Dame" - Unser Aufenthalt war leider zu kurz. Das Hotel ist einfach super, kommt allerdings langsam in die Jahre. Zumindest unser (großes und sehr schönes) Bad ist etwas sanierungsbedürftig. Ansonsten alles top, wir werden dort wieder übernachten.
• Layla (10/5): A dream! Il be coming back regularly - Truly amazing… felt as if I was in Bali somewhere remote and quite. The heated pool was the highlight including breakfast Stunning quality
• Murat (10/5): -
• Екатерина (1/5): ПЕРСОНАЛ ВОРУЕТ ДЕНЬГИ, а менеджмент прикрывает !!!!! - Интерьер Красиво, вопросов нет. НО ПЕРСОНАЛ НАГЛО ВОРУЕТ ДЕНЬГИ ИЗ НОМЕРОВ !!!! У НАШЕЙ ГРУППЫ УКРАЛИ БОЛЬШЕ 1500$ , мы оповестили об этом менеджмент, но никто ничего не сделал. БУДЬТЕ ВНИМАТЕЛЬНЫ И ОСТРОЖНЫ, настоятельно не рекомендую отель, в котором такое поощряется и просто нагло совершается. У нас было 5 номеров и из каждой комнаты украли деньги, из общей пачки по чуть - чуть , не полную сумму, чтобы мы не заметили. Ужасно противно , испортили все впечатление от отеля.
• Razeen (10/5): - The staff was super friendly. The place was lovely and had that modern touch with abit of old school. The breakfast was excellent. The room was out of this world maybe one of the best stay Ive ever experienced.
• Colleen (9/5): -

• LUDOVIC (9/5): -
• James (9/5): -
• Erika (10/5): A must in Joburg - Our second time here and the Residence never disappoint us. we love the elegant style of the hotel and the rooms are big and well appointed. The staff is Kind and professional. The food is amazing we appreciate our dinner with the pianist , so special !
• James (9/5): -
• Rebecca (10/5): A perfect stay - Everything was absolutely perfect - the staff were really helpful, food was great, the room was one of the best we stayed in during our trip to South Africa and the hotel has a great vibe.
• Sue Jean (9/5): - Frühstück war grosszügig und sehr gut. Oasis mitten in Johannesburg. Die Erklärung von alle Hotel Services war nicht so gut erklärt am Anfang...
• Christian (10/5): -
• Christian (10/5): Fantastisk sted, perfekt service, lush garden. - Hotellet ligger i det mest mondæne og sikre del af Joburg. Vi boede på en suite med sauna og vores børn blev upgraded fra dobbelt værelse til suiten lige ved siden af. Der er to udendørs pools, omend de var ret kolde i forhold til at der var vintertid. Servicen og personalet var helt op i toppen. Haveanlægget var virkelig smagsfuldt, lush og fredfyldt. Der er vandinstallationen over det hele. Hotellets stretched Rolls Royce kørte os til den nærmeste shopping mall. Virkelig godt hotel, absolut i toppen og perfekt til afslapning. Eneste to ting man kunne måske forbedre er at gøre værelserne en anelse lysere og den ene opvarmede plunge pool, der tilhører suiten kunne havet været lidt mere rent. Men det er absolut i småtingsafdelingen og jeg vil gerne give hotellet mine bedste anbefalinger.
• James (8/5): Very good -
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Chetty (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was great. Our pool villa was amazing. Standalone and very private with fireplace, ideal for winter. Staff is very friendly. When we arrived we were met at our vehicle and escorted straight to our room. No wait time at check in.
• Dave (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrea (6/5): Pleasant - Quiet leafy suburb in Johannesburg and close to all amenities. Very helpful and friendly staff that are willing to go out their way for you. We specifically booked a suite with a hot tub and confirmed its operation ahead of arriving. On arrival we discovered we had been moved to a completely different suit since the hot tub was out of order (the new room had a tub at least but wasn’t as nice). In the end we opted to go with the room with no tub. Matters were made worse by no hot water in our room. These are easy fixes, we would still go back.
• Hettie (10/5): Beautiful place, friendly service & most COMFORTABLE bed...fireplace bonus ! - friendly staff. beautiful stay, delicious breakfast. Most of all - the bed was so comfortable, best nights sleep we've had in a long time ! something small. we have a guesthouse, know the problem with make up on linen. our fitted sheet had some mascara marks on. The towels should either be kept same "time used" and not mixed. white often shows different stages when linen was rotated to replace.
• Ian (10/5): Great stay, 10/10. - Lovely property. Located in very good and safe area. The property looks amazing, if you love photos this is your place. Nice warm pool villa, we visited during winter but the villa had very good heating, this really helped. Great food and Very friendly staff as well. We loved everything about the property.
• Joshua (10/5): Good could be great if they fix above - Quality furniture only issue is the advert says you can use iPod/speakers in the room but you cannot only issue is the advert says you can use iPod/speakers in the room but you cannot. WiFi in rooms is poor, not all TVs can connect
• Debbie (9/5): Superb -
• Thabo (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nyasha (9/5): Superb -
• Natasha (10/5): Absolutely amazing hidden gem - The staff are EXCELLENT! Food was delicious! Everything was perfect!
• Rishen (5/5): Passable -
• Landseer (9/5): Superb -
• Lets (8/5): Very good - Absolutely stunning property. Our room had a sauna which really elevated the experience. Intermittent supply of hot water really took away from what would have been a perfect stay.
• Rae (10/5): Exceptional - This is one of the most underrated stays in Johannesburg. Saying the facilities are beautiful is an understatement. The staff are friendly and kind. I wish I stayed longer, I would come back just for an extended stay here.
• Emma (9/5): A welcoming sanctuary in Johannesburg - super comfortable accommodation, fantastic dinner and wonderful staff! - Fantastic, welcoming and comfortable property - old world charm with modern amenities. Staff were very engaging and we felt very relaxed. Unfortunately we were only there one night - but we enjoyed everything from airport pick-up, check in, delicious dinner and great breakfast selection to the transfer back to the airport. A special mention for the fire pit - a lovely place to sit and relax. Also beautiful big tub in the bathroom, and super comfy beds. Thanks to The Residence for a great experience, definitely keen to come back for a longer stay. Nil
• Frederick (8/5): Classy and stylish. Ample luxury in room and around property, food disapponted - Very stylish, suite very large and a wonderful outside jacuzzi in a large and lush garden. Luxury for sure. Waiting staff and food comes up short. Temperature wrong, repeatedly sending food back. Insanely and unnecessarily expensive (even when spending in USD). Boma round fire at night is a nice touch.
• Shabir (9/5): Superb -
• Sharen (5/5): Overpriced for what you get. We stayed in the pool villa. The bed was a bit small. - Food was bad. I like the design and layout. Private with various communal sections to enjoy as guests.
• Annette (10/5): Brilliant hotel! - This is an utterly gorgeous hotel with superb service, excellent food and an exciting wine list.
• Gary (9/5): Superb -
• Burden (10/5): The staff was AMAZING, i will most definitely be there again soon! Rooms are absolutely breathtaking, the food was to di - The staff was AMAZING, i will most definitely be there again soon! Rooms are absolutely breathtaking, the food was to die for and the staff was the best that i’ve seen in SA. I’d also highly recommend their SPA.
• Burden (10/5): Exceptional -
• Neil (10/5): Exceptional -
• Alan (10/5): 2 days + 2 nights off absolute bliss with my partner. Having wine and sitting in the Jacuzzi. - Breakfast was served with pride and the staff had reason. The breakfast was hearty and delicious. To the extend that I will go back to the hotel for the breakfast. Nothing , I can think off.
