Pros: Good looking hotel; quick check-in; mostly efficient helpful staff; convenient location; clean; food was great; afternoon tea was quite nice but they stinted a bit on the scones & tiny teapots Cons: Sometimes you wait too long (up to 11minutes one night! eek) at the gate to be let in it frays the nerves as Jhb / Africa is...

The hotel itself is located near Rosenbank. If you need to be sure to have a relaxing end to your hectic business day, this is the place to be. The hotel itself only has some 30 beds. Everything is taken care of with lots of love to details, maybe a bit close of even overdoing it. If going to Johannesburg... More

Taking my Japanese fiancé back to South Africa for the second time, we were surprised by my best friends who gave us a night at The Winston as an engagement present. Having grown up in Johannesburg and using Rosebank as my regular stomping ground throughout university, I was still surprised that such an oasis of a hotel existed in the... More

This is my own hide away spot in the middle of Johannesburg. Perfect for either a loooong lunch or weekend getaway. Spacious rooms and attentive service. I would recommend this for both business and vacationing travelers.

Returning to South Africa a second time on a business trip I felt compelled to return to this amazing hotel. Yet again, the service was impeccable, the rooms and restaurant were outstanding. I highly recommend this hotel, and will definitely be returning on my next visit to South Africa. Thank you for another great and enjoyable stay

Unfortunately for us, we only stayed at the Winston for one night. The hotel is a beautiful boutique-style hotel with a lovely central courtyard containing pool, small garden and outdoor dining areas for the restaurant. The rooms have high ceilings, a separate shower and tub, tall windows and a very comfortable bed (my fiancée insisted I take a photograph of... More

The Winston Hotel, located just behind the Rosebank Gautrain is a stunning boutique hotel with a standard of excellence that catered and provided a beautiful setting for our ideal intimate wedding. The events manager, Lana, was very accommodating with our requests. She even sourced an arch and blue carpet for the ceremony we had on the outside terrace. The rooms... More

The Winston Hotel lived up to all of my expectations (and they were high!). The welcome was warm and efficient and my room was spacious with everything I needed. The bathroom had a separate shower and bath and L'Occitane products. Air conditioning in the room was very welcome! I enjoyed dinner in the restaurant and the staff were polite and... More

This is my first review of a hotel on TripAdvisor. I confess that I am a TripAdvisor "stalker" who reads reviews, but never posts them. That being said, I decided that the service I have received at this hotel was worth breaking my long-standing silence. I have stayed at a number of hotels in Johannesburg over the years at a... More
