" The room was clean however the safe did not work. I did not feel as there was no visible security on site on the night that I stayed there. The rooms are not sound proof. If you like the sound of passing traffic and the sounds of people fornicatting. I would suggest you pass then. There was no back up electricity as there was load shedding (no electricity) at the time. The breakfast selection was bland and the selection was minimal. "

What is a historic hotel like in Johannesburg?
Guests who choose historic hotels have the opportunity to stay in a place that’s been officially recognised with a national historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world can take the form of castles, palaces or even pubs or old police stations — any place of special interest. These types of hotels in Johannesburg typically retain original qualities like traditional architecture and period features in guestrooms or communal spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. “Historic hotel” is more commonly used in the U.S., while you’ll often hear “heritage hotel” in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the building and architecture itself. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the place’s cultural value and how it shaped the community.
Do historic hotels in Johannesburg have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Guests should expect the popular amenities you’d get from a hotel such as Smart TVs, WiFi and updated bathroom facilities. In Johannesburg, booking a historic hotel doesn’t mean you will stay in a place that’s rundown.
