It is a very eclectic hotel with unique lounging areas on the different floors. Staff were great and breakfast was good. There was an issue with no curtains or shades on the door to one of the balconies in our room but being on the 3rd floor mitigate any exposure. We will definitely stay again if we are ever in Johannesburg again

Et autentisk og gennemført sted. Hvert hjørne og krog var en oplevelse eller en oase. Både ejeren og øvrig personale er ualmindelig imødekommende. Vi ville ønske vi kunne være blevet længere og vil klart vende tilbage.

Great boutique hotel

The boutique hotel is very nice. The rooms are theme based and very retro. The grounds are beautiful and the staff is excellent. We did not have hot water one night which was a slight inconvenience. The hotel brought a bottle of wine to the room which was very nice. I would stay here again if I ever returned to Joburg—which I will not as I didn’t care for the city as a whole.

Getaway in the heart of Johannesburg

Villa Simonne is a small hotel - only 16 rooms - but has anything I could ever want. Staff were fantastic - very friendly, helpful, accommodating. The room was a good size, and wonderfully decorated. The food in the restaurant was great. The architecture and sitting areas around the huge property give it a very romantic feel - and the four gigantic tortoises roaming around make the whole experience wonderful. I was there for business, but it would also be a great spot for a getaway! There were only two improvements that I would make. The first is irons/boards in the rooms. They were available by calling the desk, but I'm kind of spoiled by hotels that make it convenient. The second would be to have a box of tissues in the room. (I had a cold, and had to resort to using toilette paper). All in all though, those exceedingly minor things in an otherwise wonderful and memorable experience!

we got the Hollywood apartment and it was good, separate lounge and sleeping area, kitchen with microwave, comfy bed. The only downfall was that there was a hand held shower in the bathtub. the gardens are amazing an there's a pool and sauna etc. the food needs a little work and is pretty bland ut overall the staff are friendly. The location is amazing and pretty central to everything.

For a hotel that is so close to Kilaney Mall and Rosebank area, the hotel is very good priced. Its main characteristics being that the hotel has its own charm, almost like its got a life of its own. The themed rooms add that extra edge to the already charming place. The service is 100% at your service, helping at every step of your stay. At night the place comes alive with interesting lights mingling together with greek themed statues and green background to bring alive this awesome place. To add the cherry on top, the bar is an adventure of the past filled with memories of days gone past and to the gamers, blackjack is available to keep the guest busy. Thanks for the great service, and hope all the best in future for the crew of this amazing hotel.
