Holiday Inn Johannesburg - Rosebank by IHG

The service at the front desk was superb and and they were very helpful in selecting the Safari tours they did a fantastic job. If I am ever in Johannesburg again, I will stay at the Holiday Inn in Rosebank."

Radisson RED Hotel, Johannesburg Rosebank

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for our last 2 nights in SA and it was the best place to stay after a long trip. The hotel is very clean, staff is friendly & helpful, our room was clean. The only downside was the restaurant downstairs the service was poor. But the hotel was amazing. We’ll definitely will stay here again next time we’re in JHB🇿🇦"

Sandton Sun & Towers

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was large and contained a corner desk separated by decoratively lit wall. The room contained a luggage room. It was very convenient to access the suitcase and have it out of sight. The staff were very polite and went out of their way to accommodate us. The check-in lady was simply magical! Breakfast was filling and wonderful."

Southern Sun Rosebank

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is compact without extensive grounds to walk around in. It is located near a mall complex but do take advantage of the hotel's shuttle service to go to and from it. Although the shopping center and hotel are in a relatively safe area, scammers and pick-pockets are known to prey on tourists. The Dining restaurant is excellent--the food preparation and presentation are elevated. The breakfast buffet is very good--more than adequate but not exceptional. The room I had was simple but met my needs."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Johannesburg

Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly months to visit Johannesburg are January, June, and December when hotel prices tend to be lower. For those looking to enjoy the city's rich history, culture, and notable landmarks, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended. This duration allows ample time to explore attractions such as museums, architectural wonders, and the vibrant theatre scene, as well as to engage in activities like shopping and attending sporting events. While prices may drop during these months, planning ahead can ensure you enjoy a trip that offers great value for money.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Johannesburg, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel options as your travel date approaches. To ensure you stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see the best options. If availability changes or prices decrease, you'll be promptly notified, making it easier to secure your spontaneous getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you find better rates for your stay in Johannesburg. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we can suggest alternative dates that might be more affordable, helping you potentially uncover a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive. However, thanks to Johannesburg's exceptional public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further afield that remains well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
