Did not like all the music at nights. Very loud. ##### Robert Harrison Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 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 ### 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 #### Sachin Oct 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Recommended ##### Sachin Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex Sep 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was really amazing spending my holidays there ##### Alex Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANNMARIE Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Its a party hotel.

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 ### 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 ### 6/10 Okay #### STUART Aug 31, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### WELL LOCTED HOTEL IN DESPERATE NEED OF ATTENTION The Bannister Hotel is in probably the best location in this part of the city when it comes to eateries, markets and entertainment, it is a very basic 3 star but more 2-star standard and not very well maintained and run. 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 #### Cheryllyn Jan 6, 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### A Little Disappointed There is lots of room for improvement. There were cockroaches in the room. Kettle was missing. during checkin we were told that breakfast was not included and yet the booking online included breakfast. ##### Cheryllyn Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A good nigjt at Bannister The receptuin staff was very friendly and the dormitory clean. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kmm Jul 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Nice place, good restaurant. As others have commented, the place is a bit loud but fine with earplugs (could be really bad on a Friday or Saturday night though..). Poor rating because what’s up with the shower? We had a twin bed room—two people who don’t even share a bed. The wall between the shower and the bed room is not a ‘wall’ but frosted glass. We could watch each other shower. Awkward. ##### Kmm Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martine, Bouc bel air France May 1, 2019 Hôtel avec un bar donc très bruyant jusqu’à une heure avancée de la nuit , chambre simple lits confortables ##### Martine Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Mar 20, 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Das Zimmer war in einem sehr dreckigen Zustand.

I was in a king superior room. The room was much more rundown than pictures online would lead to believe. And the room was not clean--dirty floors, hairs on the sheets, stains on the walls and ceilings. They provided a base for an electric tea kettle, but no tea kettle. And the room had no air conditioning, only a fan, but there was only one electrical outlet so you can't plug in the fan and the desk lamp (or any other appliance or device) at the same time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 3, 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was too noisy at night, can hear the people chatting at the bar below ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 14, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great fun location.

Our room was tiny and right on the street. For one night this was fine. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### arildo, Maputo Nov 20, 2017 Liked: Staff & service #### Good location, noisy, poor wifi I mean it is a relatively cheap hotel in a good location downtown close to Wits. Very noisy on Fri and Sat until 3 AM, so bring ear plugs. The WiFi was not working in my room, so one had to go the reception or bar for internet. For me, that’s the main thing that pulls down the score. ##### arildo Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Louis Nov 9, 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Virkelig nogen søde, rar og enormt venlige mennesker. men deres rengøring kunne være meget bedre. Vi havde desværre lidt problemer med kakerlakker de sidste 2 dage. Men udovere det var det et virkeligt godt ophold. deres restaurant er virkelig god! ##### Louis Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Travelodge by Wyndham Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Sudbury.h19351.Hotel-Information) > > [Monte Carlo Inn Vaughan Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Monte-Carlo-Inn-Vaughan-Suites.h1398784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Vineland-Premium-Outlets-Hotels.0-l6154313-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Kent](https://www.expedia.ca/Kent-Hotels.d8223.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [InterContinental Johannesburg O.R Tambo Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-InterContinental-Johannesburg-OR-Tambo-Airport.h664568.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun O.R Tambo](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-Southern-Sun-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h48843.Hotel-Information) > > [NEW Aura Newly built and spacious 2 bed, 2 bathrooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Regina-Hotels-NEW-Aura-Newly-Built-And-Spacious-2-Bed.h33659898.Hotel-Information) > > [City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-At-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h8403573.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vaughan](https://www.expedia.ca/Vaughan-Hotels.d9616.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Condado Vanderbilt Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Juan-Hotels-Condado-Vanderbilt-Hotel.h9105241.Hotel-Information) > > [African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-African-Pride-Melrose-Arch-Hotel.h915100.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn Sandton](https://www.expedia.ca/Johannesburg-Hotels-Park-Inn-Sandton.h3629797.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort & Aquagames - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Grand-Sirenis-Punta-Cana-Resort-Aquagames-All-Inclusive.h1691881.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Macao Beach Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Macao-Punta-Cana.h38966191.Hotel-Information) > > [Crown Paradise Golden All Inclusive Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Crown-Paradise-Golden-Puerto-Vallarta-All-Inclusive.h117967.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [flights from sherbrooke airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ysc/flights-from-sherbrooke-airport) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Charlottetown (YYG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yyg/edmonton-to-charlottetown) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mralino (SKP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/skp/toronto-to-skopje) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Nashville (BNA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/bna/calgary-to-nashville) > > [Flights from Miami (MIA) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mia/bog/miami-to-bogota) > > [Flights from Indianapolis (IND) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ind/yvr/indianapolis-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to St. Petersburg - Clearwater (CLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/clw/toronto-to-clearwater) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Cancun](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Cancun.d179995.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### General
