Our Budget pick in Johannesburg is a four-star property in Sandton with a guest score of 8.0 from 4,558 reviews. It suits business travellers and short-stay visitors who want a tidy room near shops, and drivers, since free parking is listed. Family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace are also listed.
Skip it if you are a light sleeper. Guests report thin walls and gaps under doors that let in noise from hallways and neighbours. If score matters most, note that it ranked last of the 16 eligible properties we compared, even though 8.0 is still a solid number.
Location and getting around
The address is 22 Fredman Drive, Sandton. Guests rate the location 9.1 and describe the area as central and safe, within walking distance of the mall and shops.
The landmarks in our data are a long way off. Hillbrow Tower is about 9.1 km in a straight line, roughly 114 minutes on foot. Ellis Park Stadium is about 10.3 km and Nelson Mandela Bridge about 10.4 km, each over two hours on foot. These are not walks: plan on a taxi or public transport. The listed free parking helps if you have a car.
What guests say
Location gets the most praise: central, safe and close to the mall. Guests also like how clean and well kept the spaces are, and describe them as aesthetically pleasing.
The clear weak point is soundproofing. Thin walls and gaps under doors mean you may hear corridor traffic and neighbours. Earplugs are worth packing.
Its score of 8.0 placed it 16th of 16 eligible properties. That says more about how strong the Johannesburg field is than about this hotel being poor.
Price and how it compares with our other Johannesburg picks
The reference price was €53.24 a night, 74% below the sample median of €202.37. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Home Suite Hotels Rosebank, was €153.62 a night with a score of 9.3. Our Luxury pick, Zevenster Boutique Hotel by The Giglio, was €256.84 with a 9.4 and five stars. So you save about €100 a night against the Best Value option, and in exchange accept a lower score and the noise issue.
