Breakfast was absolutely phenomenal! Best we've had in a long time, and the views are spectacular. Beyond that, we had a lovely, restful stay. The venue is beautiful and all staff and security (especially at the parking area) were extremely friendly and very helpful. Thank you team Pablo house!
The wooden floors inside the double rooms are beautiful, but the creaky floor boards made it hard to move around without making a lot of noise. We could hear our neighbours and I'm very sure they could hear us.

I had an incredible experience at the hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff treated me like royalty. Benji's welcoming smile while helping me with my luggage and the welcome drinks during check-in made me feel like a queen. The food was amazing. Although the breakfast had a limited selection, it was scrumptious. I had pizza for lunch, and I still crave it while writing this review. The prawns I had for dinner were so juicy and melted in my mouth. The facilities were excellent. It was raining during my stay, but the umbrellas next to our room came in handy. The outdoor area was breathtaking, and I was hoping to lounge by the pool area in the afternoon, but the weather didn't permit. Nevertheless, watching the sunset from my room after the raindrops was more like God's wink. The room was perfect. The moment I walked in and saw the caption about Happiness on the mirror, The affirmation was healing. The contemporary decor, the sinaker, and Netflix made it cosy, especially during the rainy weather. Overall, my stay at this hotel was fantastic, and I can't wait to return.
They combined two beds to make a queen but it kept separating at night, so I couldn't enjoy the whole bed and ended up sleeping on one side.

We had an amazing stay at Pablo House. Check in was super easy and we were greeted with a delicious iced tea! The room was lovely with all the amenities we needed for our stay, we particularly enjoyed the balcony with a sofa that overlooked some amazing views. We ate both dinner and lunch at the in house restaurant, food was superb with big portions and we ended the evening with a night cap on the house which made our day. The hosts were communicative the whole time and let us check us late due to our flight not being till later in the afternoon, which was perfect time for us to relax by the pool. We would definitely recommend Pablo House as a perfect retreat in Johannesburg!

Beautiful guesthouse, large rooms that are nicely decorated. Netflix included. The bed had a heated blanket which was nice. Breakfast was nice and delicious. Was only there overnight before another flight so can't really comment on the area. It seems like the restaurant is popular where outside guests also come to eat.
Booking says breakfast "included" however it's only to the value of 150. Breakfast options are between around 70-150 so for the most part it should cover the meal. however if you get extras or drinks you may go over. Breakfast was great so it wasn't really as an issue but more off an FYI. Shuttle a bit on the expensive side 650 one way or 1150 return.

I had such a great time staying at Pablo house. To start with the place itself, the rooms are very large, spacious and very clean. The surrounding area is one of the safest in Johannesburg, with 24-hour security, so I felt very safe. And the view on all Johannesburg is breathtaking, so get your camera ready, you'll get a great view, especially of the sunsets! The hotel has everything I needed: swimming pool, restaurant which is absolutely excellent for very affordable prices, I couldn't believe it. Last but not least, I was charmed by the service and dedication that Leigh and Louis (the hosts) gave me. After getting to know each other, they gave me tips and advices for my trip and are so kind and friendly that I now want to come back and see them.
Not having stayed longer! On a more serious note, I have no negative points to mention.

This is an amazing property in a fantastic location. Our room was brilliant but all rooms look great if honest. The communal areas are beautifully decorated and finished off with the most amazing artwork from local artists, reflecting Leigh and Lou’s own artistic personalities. The views over Jo’burg are second to none - literally it feels like the highest point with best views of sunset and sunrise. Food in the restaurant is lovely, bar is well stocked, and staff are all the best. Leigh and Lou round this off with being the most amazing hosts - warm and friendly, super helpful and as locals know everywhere to go an when. Everyone should visit this amazing city and I can’t recommend Pablo House enough
Nothing.

Nice boutique hotel with large, comfortable rooms which were well decorated, Netflix and even had a small courtyard. Breakfast was amazing, it seems to be a popular restaurant for locals. Staff were great and friendly. Free refillable filtered water available. Nice quiet location, beautiful view. Johannesburg seems very spread out where many tourist places require an Uber or some form of transport to get to. Getting around is pretty cheap by Uber so would recommend the location for the view alone. There's a supermarket about 5-10 minutes walk down the road (depending how good you are with hills).
Shuttle is more expensive than an Uber however it was a nice vehicle with airconditioning, water and even snacks where many Ubers are old cars without airconditioning so I was comfortable to pay the small premium. Noticed Wi-Fi dropped off once or twice for a short period in my room which was a bit further away from the main building however it didn't affect me much because I had mobile data so can't really tell if it was a big issue..

Unique hotel in a safe part of joburg; artsy/hipster vibe; enjoyed the popular restaurant with delicious food and an eclectic mix of diners; friendly hotel staff and owner thst knows your name - special shout out to our server Jermaine! Comfy bed and nice water pressure. Would definitely stay again.
Wish the breakfast started a little earlier (starts at 730), didn't get to enjoy it in time for our departure either day.

Pablo House is perfectly located on a hilltop, with stunning views across Johannesburg. Our group of 4 stayed in the villa for 5 nights, and were blown away by the comfort and space. Breakfast and dinners in the restaurant were outstanding. The wine list is superb, and well priced. Cocktails were also much enjoyed. All staff are so friendly, and reflect the values and attention to detail of the owners. This was our second stay in Pablo House, and we wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Joburg.

We rate our stay at PH at 11 stars out of 10! Everything is absolutely outstanding; the owners, staff, decor, rooms, views, beds, food, music, vibe… Lee, Louie, and their staff have created the most welcoming and stylish vibe. We wished they could clone everything about PH so we could take the experience with us to every port. If we lived locally we’d dine here regularly. The food and atmosphere are remarkable. Thank you for making us feel so at home and we’ll taken care of.
