Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“This small, upmarket guesthouse in central Rosebank is an old Cape Dutch house with a gracious garden that offers good value in an area known for expensive accommodation. It has an engaging mix of old and new—Oregon pine floorboards, antique inlaid-wood side tables from Morocco, custom-made couches, and modern, whimsical sculptures like one by Anton Smit, of a woman floating above water.”

Great small cozy hotel

Very clean and comfortable, good location, very polite and careful staff

We were at room 6 which shares a terrace with room 5. It will be nice if they can somehow divide the terrace even with a temporary stand on as the woman from room 5 approached our room while i was getting out of the bath…not a nice thing to experience

Beautiful small hotel with lovely and attentive staff. Great pool to lounge by in a garden that makes you forget you’re in the middle of Rosebank. Spacious rooms and great facilities.

Nothing but breakfast could be improved a bit.

Very nice short stay :)

We only stayed for one night as we had a safari booked but the hotel and room was great. The staff were really helpful and organised an early breakfast for our departure (which was really good). The information on taking a tour of Johannesburg was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our whistle stop stay in Johannesburg.

Dinner ended a little too early for us in the restaurant - we would have loved to dine in the restaurant....

Convenient, friendly and accommodating.

Staff were excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. Always willing to help. Location was prime. Aircon was a little undersized for the bedroom.

Mosquitos. The first night we thought we would sleep with the outside door open. Biug mistake. The buggers almost carried us away. The staff did however address the problem first thing the next morning, and after that we slept well every night

Lovely hotel, great staff and fantastic food!

The property is lovely and clean, and the rooms were spacious and light. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The breakfast includes a cold buffet and hot menu. We also ate at the restaurant for dinner and had the tasting menu- both delicious! We only stayed one night so can’t comment too much on the location, but we felt secure.

Exceptional

Rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. We enjoyed dining in the hotel restaurant. For breakfast, they offer hot dishes made-to-order as well as a cold buffet (pastries, fruit, cold cuts). The staff was very warm and welcoming. They had a 24h security guard, and we felt very safe. The security guard was very attentive and seemed to remember who we were during our stay. The hotel was a 5 min walk to Rosebank Mall. We felt comfortable walking there during the day. It was a quick Uber ride back at night.

City Hotel with great location

Staff in the hotel and especially the security guard was exceptionally thoughtful, friendly and helpful. Check in was also very easy.

The breakfast was disappointing. The 1 bathroom was very small, and the heater was switched on even though we kept switching it off, housekeeping always turned it on.

Wonderful stay with room for a tiny bit of improvement

This was our third stay at Clico, and it has truly become our home away from home in Johannesburg. The location is ideal, and the rooms offer great comfort. The staff consistently go above and beyond, always warm and helpful, ensuring our stay is effortlessly enjoyable.

I do feel the windows and balcony doors could use a little TLC, as they are starting to show their age. While the building's historic charm is undeniable, some updates to these fittings would enhance the overall experience. I was also a bit underwhelmed with breakfast this time, as it didn’t quite meet the usual standard. I understand the chef is experimenting with new offerings, but the absence of sausages was noticeable, and the shakshuka was quite different from the one I enjoyed a few months ago. Lastly, it might be worth considering citronella candles or another solution to address the flies during breakfast service.

Very helpful staff. Good breakfast. Nice location. Room overlooks a well curated garden with pool. Comfortable bed. Coffee and tea facilities with complimentary water.

The stairs - but help was always offered to carry luggage. I'd suggest queries over booking.com be treated more promptly.
