Onomo Hotel Johannesburg Sandton

It's a bit small, but other than that, it's alright. Nothing really stands out, good or bad. For the local area, the value for money is decent.

The location is really convenient – a safe neighborhood (by local standards), Mandela Square is a short walk away, and you'll need to use Uber for other attractions. The rooms are really small. It was cold at night, so I turned on the AC for heating, but I still caught a cold. I have to give credit to the girl at the reception; she stored my luggage for free. I went out, came back at 12, and they checked me in 2 hours early. There are no slippers, toothbrushes, or toothpaste in the room. There is shampoo, soap, and shower gel. There's also a hairdryer. Another downside I'd mention is having only one (single) power outlet. There are USB ports, but they didn't work.

This hotel comes highly recommended. It's only a few minutes' walk from Sandton Station. The only downside is the lack of an underground parking garage. The hotel facilities are of good quality. When you check into your room, make sure to check the door lock yourself. The first room they gave me had a broken lock, but they promptly changed it, and then everything was fine. The front desk service was excellent. When my tour guide arrived at 6:00 AM for my day trip and couldn't find me in the lobby, the front desk didn't give out my room information. Instead, they came to my door and knocked to let me know the tour agency was waiting downstairs and I should go down as soon as possible. The security guards also helped point out which vehicle was for my booked day trip. The service was great, and the surrounding area is reportedly safer than the downtown city hall and prison areas.

Stayed for one night, so it's hard to give a comprehensive review. Check-in was fast, the bedding was comfortable and clean, and the mattress was excellent. The bathroom was great, and there was plenty of hot water.
