We flew into Johannesburg from NYC and traveled all around South Africa. An amazing trip that was started and completed out of OR Tambo international airport. We stayed at the Protea Hotel Parktonian at both bookends of the trip and enjoyed our stay tremendously. The staff was amazing and courteous, which is pretty typical of all of South Africa from...

I stayed 2 nights at the Parktonian as i had an event in the next street. The Parktonian is now a bit old fashioned and consists of 'suites'/. however other than an empty fridge and a sink there is nothing else in the kitchen that says suite. No crockery or cutlery and just a couple of wine glasses. But as... More

A good hotel, room was nice, helpful staff, it was just what we needed for one night, even overpriced during the World Cup. One downside anyway, they forgot to book our transfer to the airport, causing a bit of stress. More

This is really nice hotel but I would rather choose a hotel in Sandton, if I ever went to Johannesburg again. In the area where the hotel is situated you should not walk, you generally have to be careful outside of the hotel. The hotel is like prison with big fence around. So even if I liked the hotel, I...

Went with two buddies (in our 30s for World Cup). Location was walking distance to train station (equivalent of 3 blocks), but not much else around that area with regard to tourism/hanging out/eating etc. Room itself was very old, drab, but it was spacious and they kept it clean -- the bedroom was seperate from the living area, which had...

My wife and I stayed here for one night during the World Cup to watch a match in Ellis Park. We had booked two rooms as some friends were traveling with us. It was difficult for the staff to comprehend that we had booked the two rooms under two names but had paid with one card. Then they told us... More

We chose this hotel based on availability of hotels during the World Cup plus reading positive reviews about it somewhere (maybe here, but the site we booked with). Overall, the place is nice enough - but the neighborhood is not exactly safe and while the hotel provided a security escort to walk with us at night, that didn't exactly make... More

We followed direction which we could gather by asking people. We ended up in the worst area... More
