“Urban oasis”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

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.

“Wonderful, spacious and delightful”

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. Our room had a lovely deck overlooking the city as well as our bedroom, sitting area and outside shower and bath tub.... More

“Wow!”

Reviewed 22 April 2013

Deserving of its top spot in Johannesburg. It's a quick 20-30 minute ride from the airport with our attentive and professional driver, "Lucky". Beautiful neighborhood. Charming, upscale property. Great service. Joseph and the staff were amazingly professional and friendly. Turn down service was beautiful. Dinner on the roof next to the fire pit was amazing.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and really do appreciate your review. We would like to wish you all the very best and hope you had a enjoyable trip back home. Kindest regards The Residence team More
