Spacious rooms with a nice view
Room is very nice and spacious, we have a wrap around balcony where we have coffee every morning. Bathroom is also spacious and always clean with a nice tub. My issue was the curtains are not thick enough so one can see through the bathroom at night when lights are on. So we had to take a shower in the dark. Cindy at the front desk is a rock star! She helped us every step of the way.

Friendly staff and JMB home from home
Hotel was very nice, staff were really friendly, nice coffee shop/cafe downstairs for breakfast and the Marabi Club (Jazz club) downstairs in the basement was great. Area is fine to get Uber/taxi from but not advised to walk. Only one downside of the room was the shower wasn’t great, but rest of the room was nice. Would recommend.

Not impressed with the security.
We had someone enter our room in the middle of the night, even though I had bolted the door from the inside. This is unacceptable and should not have happened. Fortunately, the person who entered left when we shouted at them. There is also no temperature control in the room, and it was very hot for the first half of the night. The room faces the street, which is very noisy, especially on a weekend night.

Great hotel in the middle of it all
If you want a stay in a fantastic hotel that is right in the middle of Johannesburg...a hotel that is not located in the mostly-affluent sections of Johannesburg, containing all of the predictable and thus somewhat boring hotel brands, then this is the place for you. With its decor emphasizing an artistic avant garde expression, the staff is outstanding and always willing to help. Sure, the neighborhood is a bit more spicy than the all-too-safe and predictable hotel neighborhoods in the outlying areas of Johannesburg. But we felt fully supported by the staff, who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and safe. The room was modern and tastefully appointed and the food was very good. We felt it was very well priced.

The hotel is very nice. I especially like the way it’s decorated on the inside. I also like that they have a barbershop inside of the hotel lobby. The staff are very nice, especially Cindy. The views on the rooftop is amazing. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit.

We stayed in Hallmark before the pandemic. The pandemic caused a lot of changes in the world. Airport pick up this time was not smooth. The restaurant whose food we remember so well and so fondly, is a skeleton now. But the friendliness of the staff once again won us over. Yes, if we come back to Joburg, we will stay here again.

Decent accommodation for a short stay
We only stayed there for about 7 hours while waiting for flight to depart, but it served the purpose. Don’t judge a book by its cover. Though the hotel is older and not in the best area it was well kept inside. The rooms were clean. We felt safe in the hotel.

Great Stay
Our stay was amazing, wish we would have picked a room with a better view. The one suggestion I’d make is to either have a printed menu for the restaurants in the suites so people can order if they choose to do so. Overall, the hotel is clean and service is good.
