Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton Reviews

The hotel felt just like home. There are also many restaurants nearby, as well as a shopping mall, which is very convenient. There's a hotel shuttle to Mandela Square every half an hour.

Wonderful experience! Very safe location in the downtown area, the staff were polite and attentive, and the breakfast offered a great variety.

Some slippers in the room would be great. Overall great stay, wasn’t long but it was good.

Staff members were amazing! This was the most friendly and accommodating hotel I’ve ever been to! I would definitely recommend to any one visiting Johanessburg !

The location is good right in the center. The hearer in my room didnt work so it was cold and we had to get small portable heater. The receptions weren't friendly

The hotel is right next to Mandela Square, which is a great location. I booked a room with a balcony, and it was really comfortable to sit out there.

This was such a beautiful hotel. It was walking distance to Sandton City and next to the Marc. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was attentive. The breakfast was worth it. This is ideal if you want to do some shopping and experience some nightlife as it is very convenient and centrally located.

Nice location, 50 ZAR for car parking. Safe hotel

Got the nosiest room, connected room to a guest next door who was talking loudly on the phone and it echoed throughout the room. Staff asked him to be quiet but he jest kept talking. We were also in a room near a staff area and they would slam the door all night and talk while walking through the hallway. Staff would not move us to another room. Bathroom was very dated and not that clean.

The room was very clean.

A good hotel located in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. The breakfast is excellent, I can recommend it. Closed internal territory, everything is clean. A large shopping center is located 7-10 minutes walk away. From Johannesburg International Airport, about half an hour by taxi.

Good location

Friendly staff, great location and the shuttle services was invaluable. The only let down was the noisy air condition in room 1547 which caused lots of unrest. Although a room change was done on day 4, I was disappointed that the fault was not fixed as room 1547 was let to another guest on the same day.

Excellent even though going through some renovations, Perfectly located for all amenities and safe
