Johannesburg hotels and hostels

There are tons of sleeping options in Jo’burg with most of the tourist accommodation concentrated in the northern suburbs.

The agency Portfolio ([tel]011-880 3414; www.portfoliocollection.com) lists a number of top B&Bs, mainly in the northern suburbs; they’re upmarket, with singles from R450, and doubles from R700 to anything approaching R1500.

If you want to be able to walk to a wide range of bars and restaurants, a guest house in Melville or Norwood is the best choice. Otherwise Rosebank and Fourways have decent after-hours entertainment. Places in the northern suburbs tend to be quite spread out, with no entertainment or shopping options on the doorstep.

There are a few sleeping options in the city centre and prices can be very reasonable, but standards tend to be lower and the streets considerably less secure.

When you arrive in Jo’burg most hostels offer free pick-up from the airport or Park Station. Nearly all of the hostels are on the route of the Baz Bus. Guest houses and hotels will also arrange for an airport pick-up but you’ll be charged around R350. Satellite TV and internet facilities are standard, while wi-fi is common and usually free in guest houses and independent hotels, though most chain hotels charge a hefty fee. Most hotels will organise tours to Soweto, Kruger National Park and elsewhere.
