A little underwhelming
A little underwhelming, it's a nice enough hotel, but it's a little dated, the bed was very squeaky and not very large and we weren't impressed with the way we were greeted. First time travelling with our 4 month old so I forgot to put them on the reservation (that's on me for sure) but rather than an understanding, accommodating welcome, we were greeted with an dismissive, accusatory tone that I would not expect from a 5 star establishment that cost over R2000/night. They didn't set up a cot or anything, unlike other hotels that we stayed with on this trip who understand the pressure of travelling with small children and were incredibly accommodating. I'd say this hotel is not bad, but you could get a lot more for your money elsewhere. Finally, it isn't the hotel's fault, but there are a ridiculous number (at least 10 depending on the roads in) of large speed bumps on all roads that lead to the hotel which is just a bit of a pain.

Delightful.
Really friendly with good advice. Comfortable and roomy with a good shower. Easy Uber to Sandton and Rosebank. Sebo and all staff were more than friendly and went out of their way to help. Decided to go back at the end of the week as it was so easy on Gautrain from the airport.

Good stay, small things can improve.
Room needs general maintenance. Bath fitting leaking when trying to switch on shower attachment. Ceiling cornices in rooms need touching up. Kitchen arrangement not 100% clear. Dining table leg is loose. Parking lots should be better controlled, other guests park incorrectly and rob others the chance of undercover parking.

Must stay over many 100 dollar hotels/Airbnbs
Been in Joburg a few times for business and normally try AirBnBs. This was well above any experience I have had any previous stay. It is incredible for the price and the best perks in my opinion are not a lot rooms, heated floors, good gate system and the service was amazing. I was met at the entrance and they addressed me by name. Many people don't rent cars due to most being stick, steering wheel on the other side and driving on the other side so being able to easily call uber and ubereats though the gate is a god send.

Having stayed at a chain hotel in Johannesburg earlier in our trip, I was eager to see how different the bed and breakfast route might be. I was not disappointed at all. This was so much better. The property is beautiful and the staff so friendly. The room was surprisingly big for the same price as the hotel. The fact that you get breakfast on top of it (continental or cooked for you) puts it over the top. I would very happily stay here again.

The Hyde Park Villas are located in a safe and tranquil neighbourhood. Shops such as the Hyde Park Corner are a short walk away and Rosebank Mall is a bus stop away. The place itself is neat,rooms are clean with well tended gardens outside. The host is on hand to cook a home-made sumptuous breakfast. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would recommend the place. It offers a luxury stay at a great price.

We had a fantastic stay at Hyde Park Villas! Clean, comfortable, and well equipped room in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Beautiful garden. Rich tasteful breakfast. $3 Uber drives to great Rosebank / Standton restaurants as well as to the HOHO bus, thereby having an efficient way to tour the city. And then, when we taught the guesthouse had everything we needed, then came Samantha, the manager. We consulted her regarding a few issues - she gave us great advice and did above and beyond to confirm our issues were resolved. It was great to have a trusted local in a foreign city. Hyde Park Villas aims to provide guests with a home away off home -- and they deliver, big time. Thank you so much!!!

Highly recommended
We really enjoyed the place. Glad we didn't book a hotel. Quiet and safe neighborhood. We used Uber to go everywhere. E.g. Sandton city is about 10 minutes ride and costs about R30-40 (about USD 3). The place is built in high standards, the room and the bed were very pampering. Breakfast was pretty good although it ends quite early on weekdays (09:00). Don't forget to order your French toast or omelette. Don't be doubtful between this place and a city hotel. You'll get much more here for your money..... Jackie the manager was always helpful. As we had a night flight she allowed us to check out at 7pm with no extra charge (as the room was unsold that evening). Very convenient.

Can’t have overnight guests. They say breakfast until 9:30am, but staff is gone by 9am. Simple things as a bottle water is hard find once you drink the two in the room.
