The staff was very helpful and kind. But the noise from the bar was just too much, especially the first night. We had just traveled for 20+ hours. We didn’t get any sleep that first night. It didn’t end till after three in the morning. The next night it went on for a while. It wasn’t as loud, but we were unable to sleep. The third night was better still lots of noise from downstairs people screaming, and a lot of Bass coming through. The food was very good as well in the restaurant. ##### Diana Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Harrison 19 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Liked the location. Did not like all the music at nights. Very loud. ##### Robert Harrison Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helarie Rose 2 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff at this hotel are wonderfully friendly, always happy to help. During my stay there, I did not even realize that there electricity blackout in Johannesburg everyday. The restaurant bar downstairs has a good range of food at a reasonable price with very friendly crews. It gets busy and noisy there during the weekend with a DJ playing good music. That gives a good and convenient option to chill without going to places that may not be safe. However, if loud music is not your thing, just ask during check-in for quiet rooms. The receptionist did get me one of those quiet rooms. I will totally go back there any time I visit Johannesburg and has business to do in Braamfontein. ##### Helarie Rose Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Michael 21 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Bannister Hotel is very conveniently situated for access to Witwatersrand University, where I was doing some research in archives. On arrival, my first impression was discouraging because of people hanging around outside, but the room was good and comfortable and I settled in well. Overall I enjoyed my stay. The "Bannister Breakfast" is very adequate and nicely cooked and served. I had my evening meals in. The bar/restaurant can be quite noisy, but I adjusted to that. The food was good and service quite quick. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is situated in the city centre and there is always some anxiety about security and safety. I was not happy that a fire escape door near my room was kept open because it provided access to three outside rooms. I shut it from my mind, but very early one morning (3.30am) I woke to hear someone on the metal steps, and that unsettled me. That was the only negative during my stay. ##### Michael Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex 26 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was really amazing spending my holidays there ##### Alex Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sachin 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Recommended ##### Sachin Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANNMARIE 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Its a party hotel.

Our room had a terrible smell and opening the windows didn't help. ##### Kelebogile Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### STUART 31 Aug 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### WELL LOCTED HOTEL IN DESPERATE NEED OF ATTENTION The Bannister Hotel is in probably the best location in this part of the city when it comes to eateries, markets and entertainment, it is a very basic 3 star but more 2-star standard and not very well maintained and run. It is grubby in places and just not hygienic or clean and had some strange smells and air-con in rooms that is too warm and air-con in public areas that is freezing. Service is decent if slow. Bed comfort below average and awful very soft p\[illows and a shower with plastic shower curtain.It is very noisy at night, but I can accept that and you must be prepared for it,so getting peaceful sleep if you a light sleeper may be an issue. ##### STUART Stayed 1 night in Aug 2020 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Cheryllyn 6 Jan 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### A Little Disappointed There is lots of room for improvement. There were cockroaches in the room.

As others have commented, the place is a bit loud but fine with earplugs (could be really bad on a Friday or Saturday night though..). Poor rating because what’s up with the shower? We had a twin bed room—two people who don’t even share a bed. The wall between the shower and the bed room is not a ‘wall’ but frosted glass. We could watch each other shower. Awkward. ##### Kmm Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Martine 1 May 2019 Hôtel avec un bar donc très bruyant jusqu’à une heure avancée de la nuit , chambre simple lits confortables ##### Martine Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 20 Mar 2019 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Das Zimmer war in einem sehr dreckigen Zustand.

I was in a king superior room. The room was much more rundown than pictures online would lead to believe. And the room was not clean--dirty floors, hairs on the sheets, stains on the walls and ceilings. They provided a base for an electric tea kettle, but no tea kettle. And the room had no air conditioning, only a fan, but there was only one electrical outlet so you can't plug in the fan and the desk lamp (or any other appliance or device) at the same time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 3 Dec 2018 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was too noisy at night, can hear the people chatting at the bar below ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 14 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great fun location.

Very noisy on Fri and Sat until 3 AM, so bring ear plugs. The WiFi was not working in my room, so one had to go the reception or bar for internet. For me, that’s the main thing that pulls down the score. ##### arildo Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2017 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Hotels in Lahaina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lahaina-Hotels.d8499.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [One Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-One-Hyde-Park.h18929129.Hotel-Information) > - [5 Star Hotels in Cies Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Cies-Islands-Hotels.s50-0-d3000411610.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Quality City Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Quality-City-Apartments.h1875977.Hotel-Information) > - [MINT Hotel 84 on Katherine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-MINT-Hotel-84-On-Katherine.h51490573.Hotel-Information) > - [The Fairway Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-The-Fairway-Hotel.h3968501.Hotel-Information) > - [Steyn City Hotel by Saxon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Steyn-City-Hotel-By-Saxon.h106387800.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels near Comporta Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Comporta-Beach-Hotels.0-l553248621562514637-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [ONOMO Hotel Johannesburg Sandton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-ONOMO-Hotel-Johannesburg-Sandton.h18586597.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Blackburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackburn-Hotels.d4573.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-At-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h8403573.Hotel-Information) > - [Southern Sun O.R Tambo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Southern-Sun-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h48843.Hotel-Information) > - [Aparthotel Seth Isla Paraiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mercadal-Hotels-Aparthotel-Isla-Paraiso.h9553333.Hotel-Information) > - [Thaba Eco Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Thaba-Eco-Hotel.h3909135.Hotel-Information) > - [Hotels in Headcorn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Headcorn-Hotels.d6257421.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels in Hillam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hillam-Hotels.d3000461923.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > - [Hotels with Hot Tubs in Durham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durham-Hotels-Hotels-With-Hot-Tubs.0-0-d4628-tHotelsWithHotTubs.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > - [Claremont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackpool-Hotels-Claremont-Hotel.h4533317.Hotel-Information) > - [CT Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Sheraton-Pretoria-Hotel.h426881.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > - [Virgin Atlantic Hounslow (LHR) to Tuban (DPS) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-heathrow-to-ngurah-rai-intl/vs/lhr/dps) ### Cars ### Activities > - [Things to do in Sottomarina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Sottomarina.d6052698.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > - [Kalahari Desert](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kalahari-Desert-Namibia.d6200725.Attraction) ### General ---
