The rand club suites are the most perfect place to stay while in central central Johannesburg. The manager phill and also his staff, abi, boleng, Mthunzi and george to name a few, gave exceptional service. Way beyond what you would normally expect. Also Daniel, the door man was always on hand to help. The restaurant serves incredible food at fantastic value. They also have a new jazz club. Amazing venue and value. If you want value for money, comfort and stay in one of south Africa's most classy and beautiful buildings. This is the place for you.

A unique experience. Step into a past era of grand opulence. The staff were amazing and could not do enough for us. The rooms were clean and the Club is well maintained and preserved. Loved the old books and historical displays around every corner.

I would have given five stars however most menu items were out of stock as there was a function the evening before… this was sad as they do not have an extensive menu and being in the hospitality industry myself I felt extra stock should be provisioned for, especially for functions. Scones out of stock and ingredients to make charcuterie board out of stock; even the breads. When taking guest reservations head chef should make sure there is stock to feed the guests.

We had amazing time at the Rand Club. It was like traveling back in time to the early XXth century Joburg. The place has amazing history and is practically a museum! People at the hotel were very nice and welcoming. Rooms were clean and very comfortable.

The location of the hotel might not be for everyone since it’s in the center of the city which is pretty abandoned. Lot of buildings surrounding the hotel are empty and the streets are pretty dark at night. It was cool for us cause it let us dig into the story of Joburg but it can be intimidating for some.

The Rand Club is an iconic (bucket list) type of location - and it was a real experience to stay not only in Johannesburg CBD, but in such a historic building. Lovely all together. We did not expect a 'normal" hotel experience, so the slower service did not bother us.

Service a bit slow... and some facilities are for Members Only.

The hotel and all the staff, were out of this world. This is a must go destination for any traveler heading to joburg. I am from uk and a professional musician. I spend around 3 nights a week in hotels and this place is absolutely awesome. Value for money, and pure class. Thanks so much phill, abi and the gang. Number 1

From the rooms, to the restaurant, to the bar amd the jazz club. This, for me. Is the finest hotel in joburg. I have already stayed and booked there 3 times. If you are looking for value for money and exceptional quality and service. Stay at the rand club suitea

Professional, friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful old hotel with a lot of character and well maintained. Very comfortable room with all amenities. Great restaurant, bar area and food. Secure parking. Would highly recommend.

No airconditioner in the room.

This inner city gem is breathtaking. You feel like you’re in a bygone era walking through the doors. The staff were exceptional, my room upgrade was spectacular. The room itself was enormous, only comment would be noise from the road but I could have helped myself by closing the windows. Bathroom was huge and beautifully appointed. We loved the sustainble toiletries in the shower (refillable instead of individual bottles). The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, we had guests for dinner and danced the night away. Our best night of the year, definitely to be repeated. Unforgettable.

This superb building has recently renovated great rooms, with old indoor open spaces and a great bar. Staying there is an experience! The location is not the best, so you need a car or taxi for moving around.

Nothing

Everything about the Rand Club is magnificent! It is like stepping into a completely different era of luxury and utmost attention to detail. When you arrive there, Daniel (the lovely security guard and doorman) greets you and welcomes you into this stunning space. The manager on duty, Abigail, was equally welcoming and courteous and made you feel instantly at home while you sit comfortably at reception while your details and payment etc is finalized. The suite we booked was beautiful, spacious and extremely comfortable in every way with utmost attention to detail and a welcoming message and bottle of wine for my husband's birthday. After checking in, we spent a few hours just roaming every floor of this gorgeous hotel. Wow, so well preserved with beautiful art and pieces of history around every corner - almost more of a museum than a hotel and so beautifully set out everywhere and painfully clean! Honestly, such a large hotel with so much on display and we did not see dust or dirt anywhere in that whole place! An afternoon drink and snack at the world's longest bar was lovely and they have the best vegetarian samosas I have ever had! We were treated to pretty much a private dining experience as there were apparently only 2 other guests at the hotel who did not have dinner. Fantastic service, great drinks, wonderful food and Mbuso Goodman who trippled as barman, waiter and host was utterly gracious and professional. Best service we have had at any hotel, even for it not being busy, and the starters of chicken strips and samosas, mains of chicken pasta and yellow pepper lentil curry and then dessert of crème brulee (we rate it the best in Joburg) were delicious and fantastically made! The Rand Club's service really is just unbeatable and staff are well picked and expertly trained. I cannot praise Mbuso and the chef enough!

Not much to not like. The hotel is unfortunately in Joburg CBD and nothing you can do about it, but it is genuinely not as bad as everyone thinks it is. A walk to Gandhi Square on Sunday morning was quite safe. Walk around to the Culinary School is also pleasant. There is quite a bit of noise you can hear from the surrounding streets when in your room, but nothing is terrible. Constructive criticism on the double showers in the upgraded rooms: the water tends to fill quite a bit of the bathroom as there is no lip or drainage to stop the water from running out of the shower area onto the rest of the floor. The drainage or position of the shower pane(s) could use a bit more thought to not soak the whole bathroom. Still highly recommended nonetheless.
