    I recently stayed at Houghton Place for a week-long trip. The house is beautifully decorated and the bed was really comfy. They even had Netflix set up for a cozy night in. The hosts were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to show me around the area, recommending the best restaurants, craft markets, and even the nearby shopping mall. The location is perfect, just a 10-minute walk from the Gautrain station to the airport and the Rosebank shopping mall.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    Sam's exceptional catering for my vegan diet was mind-blowing, paired with Patricia's scrumptious breakfasts. The extensive movie selection in the room was a delightful surprise. The friendly dogs, Coco and Milo, added a touch of home. The tranquil atmosphere, along with the convenient location within walking distance of the Gautrain station and Rosebank mall, made it the ideal choice. The comfortable room and the warm hospitality of the owners, Sam and Jan, were outstanding. This hidden gem stands out for its personal attention, inviting pool, and delicious breakfast. The stable internet and reasonable price further elevate the experience. Houghton Place is perfect for both business and personal stays, offering a unique and creative environment for meetings. I can't wait to return!

    Staying in this hotel was a pleasure. I appreciated the clean and well-maintained facilities, from the stylish decoration to the refreshing pool. The hotel offers secure parking and easy-to-use transportation options, including a nearby station and recommendations for ride-sharing services. I had no trouble staying connected thanks to the fast and reliable internet, and the hotel's central location made it easy to explore the city's nearby shops and restaurants. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay- from the delicious breakfast to the kind recommendations for local activities.

    Nothing, all excellent.

    The room at Houghton Place was absolutely amazing! The luxurious queen size bed with the softest cotton bed linen made me feel like I was sleeping on cloud nine. I loved the attention to detail in the room, with premium bedding and a laptop-friendly workspace that made my stay comfortable and convenient. The minibar and flat-screen TV with satellite channels provided great entertainment options during my downtime. Having a fully stocked bar fridge in the room was a great bonus for me. It made my stay even more enjoyable. The private bathroom with a bath and a hairdryer felt like a mini spa getaway. It was so relaxing! I appreciated the added security of having a safe and ironing facilities in the room. It made me feel safe and well-prepared for my business meetings.

    Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the latest movies provided for entertainment in the room. But, hey, I know some people might enjoy them!
