“Even better than the last time”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

Returned to the Residence in Johannesburg, slightly nervous since we had had such a great experience on our previous trip in January and didn't want to spoil the memory. We needn't have worried - this is still one of the best hotel experiences anywhere in the world, and we had a fabulous time again. Personal service, very friendly atmosphere and... More

“Gorgeous boutique hotel in Houghton”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

We stayed at this boutique hotel for one evening en route to Botswana. Members of our party had travelled from Asia and rather than continuing onwards we decided to adjust to the time zone by spending a day in Johannesburg. We booked our airport transfers directly through the hotel, and while pricier than an airport taxi would have been, service... More

“Impeccable welcome to Johannesburg”

Reviewed 12 June 2013

The Residence Inn is a perfect place to adjust to the time and place of South Africa. Between long flights and the start of safaris, we planned two nights in Johannesburg. We knew we would need to rejuvenate after 22 hours of travel and expected to need time for our bags to catch up to us. (Happily, KLM "disappointed"; our... More

“A Gem in Joburg”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

We stayed in Joburg at The Residence for 2 nights in May and wished we could have stayed for a week. The hotel itself apparently used to be 2 large homes that were remodeled and brought together as one boutique hotel. The rooms are exquisite and completely unlike a regular "hotel" room. The full breakfast (included) was a wonderful treat,... More

“An oasis of charm, grace and beauty.”

We recently travelled to Johannesburg to visit an aging parent and conduct personal business. Unable to stay with family any longer we looked to a hotel for accommodation for the 2 weeks. How fortunate we were to find The Residence. This is a small boutique hotel fashioned out of 3 residential homes in a quiet suburban neighbourhood. Our first taste... More

We stayed at The Residence for only one night while transiting Johannesburg, but really wish we could've stayed longer! Everything about our stay was perfect. The hotel is beautifully decorated, the staff very professional and courteous, and the breakfast was excellent.

A quick stay while transiting Johannesburg - debated whether it was worth spending so much for such a short time - absolutely was! I can't wait to go back. Great room with a nice patio - lovely bar area, great breakfast.

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Residence Boutique and would highly recommend it. It is a little outside the city and would require a taxi to city center but for us that was no problem.
