The hotel is located in the safest and richest area probably of the whole continent. There are no nearby attractions, however consider you're in Johannesburg so, overall, there's not many attractions anyway. The hotel itself is very pleasant. Unlike other big business hotels no long corridors with endless rooms but a dislocation throughout the area, around a lovely swimming pool... More

The Faircity Falstaff turned out to be a little gem. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The bar is quite fun and the accommodations were certainly adequate. Loved the breakfast buffet and enjoyed one dinner there at the restaurant. They really cared about us and meeting our needs! Wi-fi while free was a little inconsistent at times.

Good place. Nice rooms, good food and easy to access wi-fi. Centrally located. Need more iron for business guests. Friendly staff and pleasant outside pool deck. Safe and secure parking. Not for families with kids.

You cannot really fault this hotel. It is central, clean, comfortable. However the experience we had was not cheerful. Reception cold, bar cold, dining experience cold. I have found this to be a basic experience without any warmth and compared with overseas prices and performances (never mind South African ) overated. Also, the outdoor trafic can be a factor is...

I spent only two days and after Kruger park others two days since I took a longer circuit in South Africa. A very good breakfast. Friendly staff, but everyone is moving very slowly for a rush tourist. It hasn't rooms for smokers. An outdoor pool small but clean. A beautifully landscaped interior garden.
