Fantastic place to stay! I stayed long term at The Wantage Suites while visiting Johannesburg. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Location is great, super closer to mall, safe to walk around. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Joburg!

We loved the feeling of being welcome, safe and taken care of. The property has been beautifully and carefully restored to a genuine Art Deco experience which is unique, very comfortable and peaceful. Percy, the young man who manages this guest house is a caring and very respectful host. As a qualified cook he prepared for us a sumptuous breakfast every day and we honestly felt as if we were in a 5 star hotel. The Villa is a memorable option if you want to explore a marvellous city and a city that is bouncing back to its former self. We will certainly come back.

It's a very quiet and comfortable location that really felt more like a home than just a hotel. The staff was super helpful and kind, going out of their way to help when my phone died on day two. I would totally visit again

Extremely clean, modern design, fully equipped, quiet and peaceful ! It felt like our own little bubble. Our hosts were very friendly and provided great advice for jogging routes!! The place was cleaned every day and we got fresh towels daily as well. But I was most impressed and pleasantly suprised with the continental breakfast. Normally we do not expect much from a continental breakfast but the amount of effort that went in here was incredible and deliscious (Boiled eggs, yoghurt, muesli and fruit jars, flat break, croissants, assorted meats, fruit and juices!! We tried our best but we could not finish the spread! We enjoyed our stay so much we tacked on two extra nights!!

As much as we got the late, the sun was long gone, I could tell the place is beautiful.. it was so nice and quiet. The room was really clean from inside out. Clean sheets, fluffy pillows... was received by Mark. Nice guy.. and Sharon was such a sweetheart. The breakfast was awesome. Inthira also, with the massage services, as someone who got a massage from a professional for the 1st time, it really felt good. I'm truly happy. I'll definitely be making a return. 🥰🥰

    The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
