The room was in a good condition, though smaller than I anticipated. The welcome was certainly less than ideal. I was told the common area was off limits so I was confined to my room the first day I was there.

I must same it’s a beautiful place to stay. Has a nice and serene atmosphere with a cozy vibe. If you want a place like home choose Claires of Sandton luxury Guest House. It’s also closer to the American embassy, Mandela Square and the Sandton Mall. I love it here and I know everyone will share the same experience. I will give a 5 star Rating every time

One not to be missed.

Amazing little guest house tucked away of a main thoroughfare and close to a great shopping mall. Welcome was friendly and informative and breakfast was delicious, we stayed two nights and would have been happy to stay longer, if we are ever back in Johannesburg we would definitely return. Rooms large and well appointed as was the spacious bathroom, as we stayed in winter, (July) the under floor heating in the bathroom was especially welcome. Great little find, well priced and very comfortable.

The property is in a quiet, secure area. The facilities are well maintained and pristine. What makes the place really special is the team led by Zodwa. All very friendly, professional, engaging and pay attention to detail. They have remained consistent over the years and remember your particular preferences and ensure you have the best stay possible.

I couldn't have been happier with claires..extraor

This is my second stay at Claires. Both times I was so catered...felt like queen for a day. Lively setting with attention to details. Breakfast is sumptuous. I had much help with arranging tours and transport. Claire and her staff are wonderful people. This level of service and comfort is above most others. I plan to go back for another week.

What a GLORIOUS PLACE...

This was my first trip to South Africa and I was a woman travelling alone. I emailed Chantal prior to my visit to arrange transportation, weather, and other things...REsponse was fast and complete.On arrival, I was greeted in the evening time and oriented to my room. Everything during my stay was OUTSTANDING and I am an experienced world traveller. Tours were arranged for me, breakfast was leisurely and delicious, and the rooms were lovely and very clean. All the grounds were just amazing and so very relaxing ....not to mention safe. The neighborhood was very nice and you could walk to some nice restaurants and stores. I would recommend Claire's to everyone and consider you fortunate if you stay there.
