Not a 8.0 hotel. In the slums. Man hanging out on stairs. Desk agent never addressed me. Area made me feel unsafe ##### sandra Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helarie Rose Feb 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff at this hotel are wonderfully friendly, always happy to help. During my stay there, I did not even realize that there electricity blackout in Johannesburg everyday. The restaurant bar downstairs has a good range of food at a reasonable price with very friendly crews. It gets busy and noisy there during the weekend with a DJ playing good music. That gives a good and convenient option to chill without going to places that may not be safe. However, if loud music is not your thing, just ask during check-in for quiet rooms. The receptionist did get me one of those quiet rooms. I will totally go back there any time I visit Johannesburg and has business to do in Braamfontein. ##### Helarie Rose Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kelebogile Oct 17, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### I wouldn't recommend it to anyone There is a lot of noise, the parking was terrible after parking our car we had to walk in a dark alley and the security who opened the gate for us was very annoyed when we asked questions. Our room had a terrible smell and opening the windows didn't help. ##### Kelebogile Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Bannister Hotel is very conveniently situated for access to Witwatersrand University, where I was doing some research in archives. On arrival, my first impression was discouraging because of people hanging around outside, but the room was good and comfortable and I settled in well. Overall I enjoyed my stay. The "Bannister Breakfast" is very adequate and nicely cooked and served. I had my evening meals in. The bar/restaurant can be quite noisy, but I adjusted to that. The food was good and service quite quick. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in the city centre and there is always some anxiety about security and safety. I was not happy that a fire escape door near my room was kept open because it provided access to three outside rooms. I shut it from my mind, but very early one morning (3.30am) I woke to hear someone on the metal steps, and that unsettled me. That was the only negative during my stay. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria May 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Maria Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kabelo Nov 10, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities ##### Kabelo Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### MATILDE P.

It is grubby in places and just not hygienic or clean and had some strange smells and air-con in rooms that is too warm and air-con in public areas that is freezing. Service is decent if slow. Bed comfort below average and awful very soft p\[illows and a shower with plastic shower curtain.It is very noisy at night, but I can accept that and you must be prepared for it,so getting peaceful sleep if you a light sleeper may be an issue. ##### STUART Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rene Mar 26, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Rene Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Busisiwe Mar 4, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Busisiwe Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cheryllyn Jan 6, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### A Little Disappointed There is lots of room for improvement.
