“Perfect (despite shortcomings)”

Reviewed 6 days ago NEW

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I stayed at, and one of the top personalised accommodation experiences too. Amenities in the room may just be my overall best, as well as the design and comfort. There are a few shortcomings like the silent rooms are exposed to sound (just like a normal hotel room would be), hot water... More

“Great Hotel...for Joburg”

Reviewed 6 days ago NEW via mobile

The Saxon is a fortress. In this city of walls, razor wires and electric fences, this hotel is definitely secure. It's in your face secure but you want that. It's the subtle luxury too (except for the gauche "drawings" of the owner with celebrities...funny though). The rooms are large, with all the bells and whistles. Loved how sensible it is... More

“Excellent ”

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and absolutely love it. We stayed in a luxury suite and the room was wonderful. We arrived here in the afternoon after a very long flight from the states and the front desk suggested a massage. The spa was very nice and the massage was wonderful. We also had dinner at... More

Multiple pools, some for swimming, some with Koi fish. Multiple restaurants- gorgeous covered terrace with view, fine dining, African themed, dining service close by in your villa or your room. Beautifully decorated with arts and crafts-... More

“The only place to stay in Johannesburg”

Reviewed 1 week ago

From the moment you enter until you leave, you feel the level of service oozing out and everyone cannot be more helpful. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and small touches like a free minibar are appreciated (even though we only ever took a coke!). The breakfasts are incredible in every way, and we had lunch on the terrace which... More

“Stunning hotel, disappointing experience.”

My family and I arrived at the Saxon on the 11th of August 2016. There were 12 of us (including two children), and we took 5 rooms at Villa 3. The Villa just like the rest of the hotel is simply stunning. We only stayed for one night as we were heading off to Kruger Park the next day. I... More

“Gorgeous hotel”

Truly a five star hotel. Service is top notch, beds are wonderful, linens are really special. Breakfast is a treat. It is included in the room rate and you get to have choices in both hot and cold. The cold buffet has all sorts of muffins, scones, breads - including gluten free options. In addition there are the usual yoghurt,... More

“Outstanding!”

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Such an incredible hotel with outstanding service in the most beautiful, tranquil setting but close to all the Sandton attractions. I was travelling with my two boys en route to Zambia, and overnighted at the Saxon. My boys were in their element as was I. The palatial suite, the Molton Brown amenties, every technological cleverness for entertainment, you want for... More

“Beautiful building, not impressed with the service”

The hotel is set in a beautiful building, which used to be a private residence. It is surrounded by extremely high walls and lush vegetation. Whilst the building itself is beautiful, service isn't really outstanding. The pool was in the process of being refurbished, but it was too cold for a swim, anyway. The room we occupied (a junior suite)... More

“Outstanding Service”

This place is beautiful, hard to believe it used to be someones private home. The villas are exactly what you would expect from a place like this. The main restaurant serves amazing cuisine. What makes the place stand out though is the service from each and every staff member. All the facilities and amenities are well maintained. Can't wait to... More
