Fantastic place to stay! I stayed long term at The Wantage Suites while visiting Johannesburg. The staff were extremely welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. Location is great, super closer to mall, safe to walk around. Highly recommend to anyone staying in Joburg!

It's a very quiet and comfortable location that really felt more like a home than just a hotel. The staff was super helpful and kind, going out of their way to help when my phone died on day two. I would totally visit again

As much as we got the late, the sun was long gone, I could tell the place is beautiful.. it was so nice and quiet. The room was really clean from inside out. Clean sheets, fluffy pillows... was received by Mark. Nice guy.. and Sharon was such a sweetheart. The breakfast was awesome. Inthira also, with the massage services, as someone who got a massage from a professional for the 1st time, it really felt good. I'm truly happy. I'll definitely be making a return. 🥰🥰

The room looked way better than the booking.com pictures. The welcoming was thoughtful. Gavin is kindhearted and a great host. The breakfast was really great- I enjoyed it. The property is located close to restaurants- I didn't go out but could see the surrounding area has a great lively vibe. Oh and the dog was friendly..didn't terrify me at all..
