Premier Hotel Quatermain

This is probably the best value hotel in Johannesburg, Sandton. A hidden diamond amongst tacky coal. If you have the class to recognise old school colonial quality, reminiscent of a serene Oxbridge college with immaculately maintained serene gardens, this is the option for you. First up the hotel represents awesome value for money at a little over 1000 rand a night with members discount... It is a walkable distance (at least for anybody with a bit of energy) from charming Morningside mall and it's excellent restaurants such as Hussars Grill, Tashas, Paul even Woolworths cafe etc. The spacious rooms exude pure class - wood furniture, ultra spacious, very high ceilings, enormous bathrooms with huge bathtubs and showers, properly built during an era when standards were maintained properly. Minus points: The hotel is huge. You may have to walk through sweeping grass gardens to reach your room for a full 5 minutes. No lift; if you are very lazy and cannot recognise old school class when you see it, this may annoy you. Internet in the rooms is shaky but impeccable Internet is available in the classy lounge area opposite reception. For 1000 rand a night with premier members discount or a little more, you can afford to buy your own Internet bundle rather than hanging off hotel WiFi. The restaurant does their best, but with a relatively low number of guests it is not easy for them to match the standards of a busy restaurant. Remember you can always stroll down the hill to nearby Tasha's, Hussars Grill or Paul if you find yourself hankering after a little more... Warning: if you are the sort of person seduced by a tacky, flashy, modern Chinese built glass glitzy hotel built 5 minutes ago in a tourist trap location next to Mandela Square , you may well perceive this hotel as "old fashioned" or "*******". The old school class of this place, may be too far over your head for you to understand its charm. Such sort of guests - who believe to be good it must be flashy / modern, will probably not fully appreciate the high standards and real class of Quatermain... If you can appreciate old school class at it's finest, I look forward to meeting you in the hotel lounge on my next visit..to cap it all off, this establishment even has a wood burning stove burning real firewood on cold winter nights to keep the chill away...

I traveled Solo. It was a horrible experience for a solo female traveling from USA at Premier Hotel. They claim to have complimentary rides to nearby shopping center and return. They took me one time to a shopping center. The driver told me he will pick me up at 3pm . I came out to stand at 250pm. When he wasn't there by 330 I started calling hotel. They claim they will send driver but by 4pm no driver. I call hotel to explain I didn't know my way back they just dropped the phone on me. A stranger was able to send for a Uber that I paid to drop me back at the hotel When I got back my hotel door was wide open. But by the grace of God no items were missing. I had been gone approx. 10 hours. I don't know when someone had come into my room and left the door wide open with my luggage and purses in full view. The hotel sleeping area was fairly clean but the shower appeared to have mold in the corners. I wouldn't advise a female solo traveler to stay at Premier Hotel. I didn't find the front desk workers helpful at all. It was a disaster. I gave 2 stars only because the sleeping area was fairly clean.

This is a very nice hotel considering the price range. Clean and spacious rooms. Colonial style. Decent food at the restaurant with very friendly staff. The neighborhood is nice but not walking distance to anywhere. Overall , pretty nice experience.

This is a very nice hotel with exceptionally friendly staff - from the porter that carried my luggage to reception and the breakfast staff - all friendly, neatly dressed and professional. The room is very big and the bathroom had a bathtub and seperate shower. There is mildew growing on the walls but nothing a little bit of domestos cannot sort out. I needed some body lotion - reception had it sent to my room within 2 minutes - Charlotte Rhys - fantastic. I can highly recommend the hotel.

This is a luxury hostel with dorms and not a four star property. Two chairs by the pool lol and no manager ! Room service is out of chicken and no internet except the lobby. At least i did not have bugs in ny room. The pictures are misleading. The location is very convenient.

While the hotel itself is very nice and our stay was pleasant, the experience was let down by very poor back office support. Unfortunately the website did not send a booking confirmation, leading to a duplicate booking and a double charge on my bank. Six weeks later and I'm still awaiting a refund. Emails to resolve the query get ignored or generic responses are sent. We actually booked to stay at the Falstaff Hotel and were told, on arrival, that this was shut and we had been moved toe the Quatermain hotel. Not the worst, but disappointing not to have been told. Wifi is the room in non-existent and the aircon in our room was in desperate need of a service. Shower leaked and the mini bar was broken as well. The general amenities are great and it seems like a very pretty hotel, overall, but we won't be coming back in a hurry.
