Nice new hotel situated in Bedfordview with restaurant and gym

My stay at Bedford View Guest House was by far the most enjoyable of my travels. The location is very calm and peaceful and unruffled by noise. The hotel had a helpful and pleasant front desk staff, clean rooms, and a delicious breakfast.

4 Star rating “WTF”: Let me state upfront for the record, this is the worst accommodation in JHB that I have ever stayed in! Forget 4 star, lucky to be rated as 2 star. Whoever issued the 4 star ratings was either paid off or owns a share in the establishment. Arrived to a receptionist that could barely greet you. Should have known this was a bad start. No offer to assist with luggage despite no lift facilities. Room was basic but like the hotel, in a desperate need for a makeover and renovation. Carpets are dirty, instant coffee sachets and a bar fridge that had frozen over clearly indicating lack of cleaning and attention. No bath or hand towels in the room - but wait - the phones don’t work so you have to make your way back down the stairs to to unfriendly staff. Housekeeping took 15 minutes to bring the towels. Wait there’s more: no hot water. Back down to Ms Morbid to ask for the basics. Wait 30 minutes. Hold on the horror story is just warming up. Shower drain is blocked and just fills up with water. Back downstairs to this time discuss with the manager who is clearly not concerned with the feedback and arranges in house plumbers (a sign that this is a common situation). Plumbers do their thing and the entire room is filled with the stench of foul and insipid water for the rest of the evening. Asked the manager for the early cancellation policy details but he had no idea what this entailed. My 3 night stay ended up being a single night which I would have changed if it wasn’t after hours. Ended up staying at friends for the remainder of my trip and wasn’t even going to try my luck for breakfast after reading the other reviews on the online platforms. Please I urge you to reconsider this venue for your trips! Don’t waste your time and money. The hotel doesn’t care for their guests. The facilities are disgusting. The choice is yours !!

Celeste and Peter were the most kindest and unbelievably accommodating hosts I have met to date. From the moment i arrived to the day I left, they showed so much care as to my well being. The Breakfast they served was fit for a King and Queen. I just loved their love and care they shoed. The room I stayed in was spectacularly comfortable and had everything in it to make life so very much relaxing, especially after a hard days work. Even the Shower and bathroom had more than the usual soap that a hotel would normally provide. There was a bathing scrunchy, Shampoo, fragrant bathing and shower gel and just so much more. Every morning, Peter or Celeste would get up early and make sure that the Coffee (specially brewed by them) was ready for me. Seriously, I have never experienced this type of hospitality in all of my travel, whether in South Africa, China, America, Central Africa, and every other place I have been to. Do you know that they even waited up for me when I arrived at 01h00am the one morning because I had been in meetings right into the night - Wow, that was altogether amazing. A very Special thank you to Celeste and Peter from the bottom of my heart. Shane C Bryant
