This is such a beautiful property. Everything about The Houghton Hotel gives 5 Star. From the rooms to the setvice. EXCELLENT. One of the beautiful ladies who worked there even volunteered to take pics of me when she saw me taking selfies. This is the kindest thing you can do for a silo traveler. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

6/10 Good

The food at such a high class expensive hotel is quit bad. Also the access to the golf course should be streamlined. I stayed at the hotel so I could golf but had to request for a drive and when getting back and to phone the hotel ahead to b picked up. As a guest one should have easy access using the room key to go through the gates.

2/10 Poor

The shower was clogged. When you take a shower, the water would not drain which is unsanitary.I complained the next day, they promised to fix it but didn’t fix it . My AC was also not working .I do not recommend this place .The neighborhood is not safe to walk at night as well .

Home away from home
As usual only the best service and accommodation provided by the staff and establishment. Forever welcoming and only the best provided for their guests. Truly always a remarkable stay at the hotel with spacious clean modern rooms, warm smiles all round, facilities that are top notch that you can easily forget that this is not actually your real home, and is truly your home away from home, if not more. Keep up the amazing standards and we will be sure to keep making your hotel the only hotel we choose when we travel to Johannesburg. For work or leisure it’s simply the best. Pics won’t do justice, so come and experience it for yourself.

8/10 Very Good

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The facilities were very beautiful and the dining was top notch. The room and bed were also very comfortable. We were very disappointed that the Steam Room was not functioning properly, the Sauna was closed for renovations and the Jacuzzi was simply unavailable. We chose the result largely for those facilities that were not available so very disappointing.
