I stayed at the Reef Hotel during March, and was pleasently suprised by the exsistence of a business hotel in Johannesburg. I generally enjoyed my stay at this hotel, and found the design and layour of this hotel to be quite refershing from the norm. I am happy to see that the Reef Hotel is contributing to the upliftment of... More

But it was good riddance i didn't stay with them because they ended up coning me R750 through my debit card. As if that is not enough, when i went in person to complain... More

This hotel was ok. There was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn't great either. It's very clean and modern, and although the rooms are comfortable, they are a bit dark. The bathroom and the bedroom are not two separate rooms - they are merely separated by a wall, so don't share a room with someone you're not comfortable with... More

I travelled to Johannesburg for business but decided to book an extra night in this hotel so that I could also take in a bit of the city. Unfortunately I regretted my decision to book a room at the Reef hotel and, although I will be travelling back to the city again, I will not be staying at this hotel.... More

This hotel is rennovated for the world cup. In the rooms you can see the old building and the new style they have used. The rooms where very clean and comfortable. I can recomment this hotel if you want to have a nice hotel for a good price.

The food is good, the rooms modern, the baths smartly attired, and even my standard room had six nice pillows. The free internet is OK, but the facility must certainly improve the bandwidth during peak times. A desk with three varieties of plug (UK, EU and SoAfrica). Breakfast buffet is as good as anyplace I've eaten: Custom eggs, sausages, bacon,... More

The conferencing rooms are spacious, the food platters amazing. The rooms are a bit different and not really my style. I do like a door between my sleeping space and the bathroom. The electricity conservation methods used in the hallways and corridors are really interesting. Its a really interesting hotel if you are visiting Jo'burg city on business, worth experimenting...
