I had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Bryanston Boutique for two weeks and I genuinely didn’t want to leave. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The location is perfect, peaceful, safe and conveniently situated in Johannesburg’s Bryanston area. The guest house itself is spotless, with a beautiful garden that adds a sense of calm and charm to the whole experience. My room was incredibly spacious and the bed, honestly one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! What truly makes this place special, though, is the people. The staff are friendly and attentive and together with the host, go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels welcome and cared for. It’s clear that a lot of love and thought goes into every detail. This place offered me comfort, security and that “home away from home” feeling. I can’t recommend The Bryanston Boutique enough. I’ll definitely be back!

It was the second time I went there, Mathabo is a very great host, very kind and understanding woman. Her property is always cleaning, everything up to date. She even has 5liter bottles of water kept in her cupboards, incase there’s a water cutdown. I always make sure I book her property everytime I go there! Very nice. I just wish other hosts could learn from her.

    The facilities at this hotel were a pleasant surprise. Though budget, there were toiletries provided, breakfast at an additional charge of ZAR 110 and there is a full lunch and dinner menu too. The bar is fairly stocked and there is a pool as well. We watched the Rugby World Cup in the dining area (TV is faulty as it kept blacking out). Location is close to Sandton City. The hotel is gleaming and the rooms are spotless - kudos to the cleaning staff.
