Guest Houses in Johannesburg

From luxury high-rise hotels to boutique guesthouses, Johannesburg provides exceptional lodging options across its diverse neighbourhoods.

Many properties showcase contemporary African design while offering easy access to Gauteng’s major attractions and business districts.

About Guest Houses in Johannesburg

Guest houses in Johannesburg strike a balance between B&Bs and self-catering, offering private rooms with shared lounges and kitchens for a more independent stay.

Hosts are usually nearby to recommend the best local pubs or arrange taxis, but you’re free to come and go as you please. Many guest houses in Johannesburg occupy historic buildings, with quirks like original fireplaces or winding staircases adding character. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious—think mismatched china and dog-eared guidebooks in the hallway. Ideal for travellers who want a home base without the formality of a hotel.
