Wonderful hotel in safe area
This was a terrific hotel. The rooms were simple but nicely appointed. The hotel is located in a safer area of Johannesburg with many excellent restaurants nearby in Rosebank and also shopping. For those interested in local crafts it is quite near the African Craft Market and rooftop market on Sundays. Unfortunately, apparently not uncommon to JoBurg, we lost power one night and the hotel had candles for everyone to use in their rooms which made me a bit uncomfortable. The food was excellent served in a nice dining room. Service was great although the desk folks didn’t seem too knowledgeable about things in the area. A bit pricey ride to the airport ~$35 US dollars at the current exchange rate of about R10 to the dollar. Taxis were always readily available from the hotel anywhere as we were advised not to walk. I would definitely stay there again if I ever go back. Hotel Protea has hotels all over South AFrica. Although I didn’t stay at their other locations they looked quite nice.
You may want to bring a small flashlight to South Africa. Be prepared for high taxi fares to and from the local restaurants near the hotel. If the taxi has no meter be sure to get the price before you ride. Some of the drivers will give you their cell phone number and you can call them when you want a ride back.

Protea Hotel Wanderers, Johannesburg South Africa
I needed a place to stay while attending an international conference in Johannesburg South Africa. I picked the Protea Hotel Wanderers because it was next door to the conference venue. What a pleasant surprise. The hotel is well maintained with pleasant and professional staff. The restaurant and bar are comfortable and well appointed. I did have a few issues with my room. When I mentioned them to the desk clerk, she noted them and said they would be taken care of swiftly. They were! I am not accustomed to that level of response. I would recommend the Protea Hotel Wanderers to anyone intending to stay in Johannesburg. My only remaining complaint isn’t really with the hotel as it is with the televisions. When you turn them on the volume is too loud. Even if you turn the volume down before turning the set off, when you turn it back on again it resets the volume level too loud.
Traveler's tip
Take a walk around the property and enjoy the flowers, trees and birds.

Great Hotel
Terrific hotel - very modern & clean. The hotel is connected to the Wanderers club with several sport courts. There is a good restaurant across the street from the hotel at the Wanderers club.
Traveler's tip
Johannesburg is not a safe city at all. We were advised by many residents of the city not to travel around by ourselves & to take a tour for anything we wanted to see.
