I must same it’s a beautiful place to stay. Has a nice and serene atmosphere with a cozy vibe. If you want a place like home choose Claires of Sandton luxury Guest House. It’s also closer to the American embassy, Mandela Square and the Sandton Mall. I love it here and I know everyone will share the same experience. I will give a 5 star Rating every time

One not to be missed.

Amazing little guest house tucked away of a main thoroughfare and close to a great shopping mall. Welcome was friendly and informative and breakfast was delicious, we stayed two nights and would have been happy to stay longer, if we are ever back in Johannesburg we would definitely return. Rooms large and well appointed as was the spacious bathroom, as we stayed in winter, (July) the under floor heating in the bathroom was especially welcome. Great little find, well priced and very comfortable.

The property is in a quiet, secure area. The facilities are well maintained and pristine. What makes the place really special is the team led by Zodwa. All very friendly, professional, engaging and pay attention to detail. They have remained consistent over the years and remember your particular preferences and ensure you have the best stay possible.

Guesthouse that makes you feel at home

Staff very friendly and helpful, excellent breakfast, the room is clean and confortable. The guesthouse is located in a nice area of Johanesburg but there is no public transportation around. However, uber worked out pretty well for us.

I couldn't have been happier with claires..extraor

This is my second stay at Claires. Both times I was so catered...felt like queen for a day. Lively setting with attention to details. Breakfast is sumptuous. I had much help with arranging tours and transport. Claire and her staff are wonderful people. This level of service and comfort is above most others. I plan to go back for another week.
