12 Decades Art Hotel

Downtown Johannesburg Johannesburg|1.23km from Musical Fountain Park
There are so many positives to 12 Decades Art Hotel. The hotel itself is really cool, and has a trendy loft type feel to it. I loved the room I was staying in. It was bright, spacious and comfortable. The bed was fantastic especially after a long long flight. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and responsive on Whatsapp for whatever you needed. The neighbourhood is really upbeat. There are great places to eat steps away, and a convenience store across the street for water and snacks. There is also a club across the street if you are into that kind of thing. Some of the improvements I would recommend are some that are already in the works. The first is the front door situation. They didn't have key cards for hotel guests and were waiting on replacements from the company. However this meant that you couldn't get in - or out - of the hotel unless someone was at the front desk. There were a few instances where we were stuck for a bit waiting for someone to come back. The other issue is that the building doesn't have a generator for loadshedding. I really appreciated the flashlight they provided but if you are staying on the upper floors you have to time getting up to your room before loadshedding occurs or expect to climb 5 flights (or 7 flights for my friend) - this also limited when we felt we could leave the rooms as well. Other improvements would be that they only have the 3 prong outlets here. I don't know if this is a Johannesburg thing or not but the rest of the country has both 2 and 3 prong outlets. All the travel adapters we brought only had 2 prong so we couldn't charge our phones. Also the lamps in my room were also 2 prong so you can't plug in the lamps they have either. There was never a light in the bathroom so it was dark the whole time. I also had no problem with this myself as I am a heavy sleeper, but if you need a quiet room this place isn't going to work as the club across the street plays music late at night.

City Lodge Newtown, Johannesburg
4.2/522 Reviews
The customer service us excellent...from the reception right through the whole stay. The rooms are comfortable and clean. They have hot and cold breakfast options. No room service though! The snack restaurant serves great meals. We'll worth a visit if you are looking for budget friendly accommodation in the heart of the city!
Businessburg Hotel
2.6/54 Reviews
Downtown Johannesburg
The staff are great, very accommodating, and very engaging. They are also very concerned of my safety (they always remind me to take care when going out). Saying that, the location might be challenging for those who are mindful of their safety. I am advised not to leave after dark, even just going to KFC which is just 300 meters away (I appreciate the concern of the staff). No wifi too.
Reef Hotel

Downtown Johannesburg
Though the hotel was very nice and comfortable, but it is in an extremely noisy part of town, I hardly slept through the car and people’s noise from the street. The parking is also way too tight with a single entry & exit point, I don’t think they must allow big cars to park there, or rather alert the drivers of the sharp and tight corners before they drive in.

Curiocity Backpackers Johannesburg

Downtown Johannesburg
The hostel is on the fox street which is lively from morning till evening. People working at reception, bar and around are extremely helpful. My rating is all for them. Sadly the hostel including my room, bathroom, toilets were dirty. Dustbins were always full. Bathrooms had no hand wash. Communal kitchen was kept clean, probably the only common place that I felt was clean. Breakfast was delicious. Loved it. I booked myself for all the tours from here and I loved how they were delivered. How I wish the place was kept clean, hygienic and had atleast the basics available in bathroom. Though they had dispensers for hand wash, conditioner, shampoo etc but they all were empty. Get yourself an Uber from the airport. Their charges for the pickup and drop are expensive. It can be really noisy at night if you look to sleep before midnight.
Anew Hotel Parktonian Johannesburg

Downtown Johannesburg
The hotel with the best views in all of Johannesburg. Great staff, super helpful and friendly. The rooms are pleasantly large and have a balcony. The roof terrace is a dream. Only to recommend. Better to have it brought by Uber/Taxi. Even the few meters walk from Park Station is not without worries.
