The Houghton Hotel, Spa, Wellness & Golf

Lovely hotel, nice food, good service

Loved it!

Thankyou to all the staff for your excellent service and world class hospitality. Everyone went out of their way to make our stay very memorable. Your rooms are super nice and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this to any travellers and we will be back in the near future.

This is such a beautiful property. Everything about The Houghton Hotel gives 5 Star. From the rooms to the setvice. EXCELLENT. One of the beautiful ladies who worked there even volunteered to take pics of me when she saw me taking selfies. This is the kindest thing you can do for a silo traveler. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful hotel, spacious room, comfortable bed, quiet, great staff.

The property location, friendliness of the staff, transportation, and restaurant. It was an amazing hotel.quiet at nights!

7th time there. Always wonderful

The food at such a high class expensive hotel is quit bad. Also the access to the golf course should be streamlined. I stayed at the hotel so I could golf but had to request for a drive and when getting back and to phone the hotel ahead to b picked up. As a guest one should have easy access using the room key to go through the gates.

The shower was clogged. When you take a shower, the water would not drain which is unsanitary.I complained the next day, they promised to fix it but didn’t fix it . My AC was also not working .I do not recommend this place .The neighborhood is not safe to walk at night as well .

Amazing stay as always and was upgraded as well which was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Friendly staff and clean hotel with attention to detail. Will totally recommend always.

As usual only the best service and accommodation provided by the staff and establishment. Forever welcoming and only the best provided for their guests. Truly always a remarkable stay at the hotel with spacious clean modern rooms, warm smiles all round, facilities that are top notch that you can easily forget that this is not actually your real home, and is truly your home away from home, if not more. Keep up the amazing standards and we will be sure to keep making your hotel the only hotel we choose when we travel to Johannesburg. For work or leisure it’s simply the best. Pics won’t do justice, so come and experience it for yourself.

A cut above the rest 💫. This has become my home away from home. I love everything about this hotel… Just an overall amazing experience.

Jet and the staff were wonderfully helpful on my first visit to Jo’Burg. The property is beautiful, the restaurant delicious, but the staff took it over the top!

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The facilities were very beautiful and the dining was top notch. The room and bed were also very comfortable. We were very disappointed that the Steam Room was not functioning properly, the Sauna was closed for renovations and the Jacuzzi was simply unavailable. We chose the result largely for those facilities that were not available so very disappointing.

Incredible staff, very friendly, always smiling and extremely reliable

If I could rate this hotel ten stars I would. Luxury and top notch service from check in to check out. Staff are insanely excellent. Do yourself a favour and stay here. We'll be back. Thank you!

This is one of the best hotels in Africa if not the world.. the front desk ppl were soo friendly.. the reservations people were quick To solve any issues and even compensate when they didn’t have to. So many dinning options.. the spa is amazing, pool area peaceful and serene.. . thanks to Expedia and Houghton I got every penny of my monies worth.. I will definitely stay there again.. love love love it..

The room was huge. I didn’t expect the penthouse to be so big. It looked like an apartment. I just loved it!

Upon our second day at the Houghton Hotel, we realized that we had never stayed at a 5-star hotel that broadcasts its 5-star rating so blatantly and often. It seemed more to affirm a vision and goal rather than just being one, as most 5-star hotels are. If only an “A” for effort is what makes a 5-star hotel, but alas it is not. Effective efficient execution is what makes the difference and the Houghton remains a work in progress in that regard starting with the front desk and guest services. They seemed confused and lost as shown by their need to confer via committee to resolve issues. However, there were notable bright spots. The hotel and grounds are beautiful (less the secondary unsanitary pool) and the VIP Coordinator & shuttle service sets the standard for what the rest of the hotel service needs to achieve regarding customer service. Another bright spot was the Nova Bistro, especially the breakfast staff. Kudos to the Porters as well. Although 2 pools were in excellent condition, the secondary pool was in very poor condition and the hotel just kept dumping chemicals daily when the pool obviously needed to be drained and cleaned. Not only would this not occur at an average 5-star hotel, a fine dining, reservations only, restaurant would not allow for reservation booking outside of the operating hours; not to mention putting the onus the hotel guests to know operating hours.

It’s beautiful and the staff is very friendly.
