Not a terrible option
Rooms themselves are nice. Service is not great as this is really a barebones operation. Be advised that the hotel is not on the main drag of Maboneng (and wouldn’t advise walking anywhere after dark)

Very good service, including storing luggage for 3 nights, double checking a bar bill we queried and organising an Uber for us. It was nice to have a room with a balcony, but beware the street noise!

Friendly, secure hotel with good facilities in the room and parking on site. Area is a bit noisy. Shuttle car/van to Maboneng shops/restaurants is very good.

Huge rooms, very secure
Stayed in a King room which was enormous, including the bathroom. Bedroom had a couch and bathroom had both a tub and separate shower. The corner room also had a full wrap around balcony with a swing. Large windows in the room and in the bathroom. Restaurant and bar were excellent and the hotel is very secure. Great stay.

6/10 Good

First thing that comes to your notice is the gloomy lighting. I don't know whether that was by design or due to the construction activity, but it didn't give a good feel. The staff were helpful. Rooms were decent. I really liked the swing that they've kept in each room. I believe some of the facilities like the pool, gym and restaurant upstairs is under renovation and will be ready in a couple of months. We stayed only for a day but one can check out their status before booking.

Great find in Joburg
The staff were amazing, helpful and friendly. The area is still on the edge so they ensured that we had a complimentary shuttle to nearby restaurants and pickup from those restaurants. They booked a last minute tour for us to Soweto and the Aparthied Museum and drove us to the pick up place. The shuttle drivers were very polite and great to talk to about local places and events. Room was spacious and modern and the complimentary breakfast wonderful, you could order anything you wanted from an extensive made to order breakfast menu. A great find at a reasonable price! We learned about it from the article "36 hours in Johannesburg" in the Sunday New York Times.

lower your expectations
My husband and I were excited to try out the Hallmark House for part of our honeymoon to South Africa when we saw it written up in Conde Nast Traveler. Unfortunately, the new hotel fell short for a few reasons: our bathroom wasn't cleaned properly, it was dirty and there were hairs on the floor. Upon check-in, the hotel gave us to a room with 2 twin beds, when we had booked a double bed room. We had to wait for them to fix it for us in the twin room. The hotel was also designed poorly where there were steps for us to walk up and down with our luggage to get to the elevator. The hallways were also designed poorly, bad lighting in the hallway and also our room. It wasn't too expensive of a hotel, but really falls short of being a good place to stay.

Great hotel, not so safe location
The hotel itself was not located in a safe area. We were told by the airport taxi driver as well as hotel staff that it was not safe to walk outside especially at night. The hotel itself was nice and the staff was friendly. We took a 7 minute Uber to the restaurants located on Fox Street. The hotel location to the restaurants and nightlife is good but the location was not the safest.

The front desk was extremely helpful with anything we needed. The decor of the hotel was fantastic. There wasn't too much in the immediate area to do.

Nightmare in the dark
The hotel staff was exceptional and went out of there way to make me so happy I could have cried But the hotel was under some kind of construction that made the power go out and after 24 hrs of travel I was not a happy traveler no elevator service no WiFi and no happiness except for the front desk staff and it was hot in the room could not sleep and still getting over my jet lag after 4 days and counting

Great pied a terre in central Joburg
Although the immediate area is not quite suited for strolling, Uber and a shuttle to nearby Maboneng Precinct made this a perfect central location for getting around the city. The hotel staff are warm and very accommodating, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I opted for purchasing breakfast and found it well worth it. The wifi is also good, something I often have trouble with when booking other locations. The balconies are also a wonderful bonus. Thanks Hallmark for being my home away from home in the City of Gold!

The staff here goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is comfortable! The beds are heavenly. There is a shuttle that runs all day and brings you safely into the unique surrounding neighborhood with lots of shops and food!

Hotel undergoing refurbishment.
Staff excellent. Decoration not my taste - walls and corridors black and oppressive. Room outstanding. Car Park and lifts appalling but I understand were also due for refurbishment. Unfortunately downtown Joburg is still very dangerous and a taxi is critical in arriving and leaving hotel.

Unfortunately after a six hour drive our GPS took us about a mile away although we put in the hotels.com address multiple times. After driving around for 40 mins we were mins away from canceling and finding a new hotel in a safer area and happened to come upon hallmark house. Not sure if there are duplicate addresses in Johannesburg but this wasn't unfortunate. Check in was very delayed and although we didn't check in until 11pm we couldn't really sleep in due to the construction going on and a check out time of 11 which we were not able to do.

Didn't expect the city centre to be as dodgy as it is. Don't even think about walking anywhere outside the hotel after dark.
