With feng shui principles very much in evidence at this hotel, you're sure to have a harmonious holiday! There's also plenty of amenities to enjoy, including an expansive restaurant that offers a curated wine list, and a poolside sun deck. The Wanderers Club is famous in this area, and you're located right in the grounds here - with full membership to use their facilities during your stay! Away from the hotel the areas of Sandton, Rosebank and the Melrose Arch precinct are not far, making this an ideal base for your stay in Johannesburg.

Coming to the end of a wonderful two-week business trip, staying at Protea Hotel Marriott (Johannesburg Wanderers). I am amazed by how very friendly and professional the staff are (in every department). The service is beyond perfect, delivered with a smile and genuine interest in the well-being of guests. The food and beverage staff are so professional and efficient in delivering top service. Same for housekeeping and laundry service. Coming from France, I never see friendly service or ANY good customer service at all. I notice Singapore Airlines staff also stay here, a sure sign of approval... thank goodness Air France no longer stay here! Congratulations to all staff at the Protea Hotel Marriott (Johannesburg Wanderers).

The hotel, staff, and restaurants were absolutely fantastic! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, and the dining options were exceptional. We truly enjoyed the warm hospitality and thoughtful service throughout our visit. Highly recommend!
Excellent stay, great location

I booked this hotel without doing too much research just because I knew of the Wanderers Club. The hotel is right next to the club which is open to non members and is absolutely stunning. The hotel is very clean, friendly and safe. Breakfast is very good and the bar has a great verandah. Parking is free. In less than 20 minutes you reach…

I booked this hotel without doing too much research just because I knew of the Wanderers Club. The hotel is right next to the club which is open to non members and is absolutely stunning. The hotel is very clean, friendly and safe. Breakfast is very good and the bar has a great verandah. Parking is free. In less than 20 minutes you reach central Johannesburg or Sandton. Parkhurst is only 10 minutes away and I recommend it for a meal out. I always used to stay in Sandton but I much prefer this location. Special thanks to Derik and Musa who made our stay very special.

Erratic water pressure with scalding risk
Dec 6, 2024stevenhhsawSingapore, Singapore
Poor and erratic water pressure resulting in very hot water only sometimes for a lengthy period. A severe hazard to scalding and burns.
The sink is small and does not give much space to wash your hands. Vanity area is small with limited amenities. No electrical outlet in the bathroom for hair drying.

Poor and erratic water pressure resulting in very hot water only sometimes for a lengthy period. A severe hazard to scalding and burns.
The sink is small and does not give much space to wash your hands. Vanity area is small with limited amenities. No electrical outlet in the bathroom for hair drying.
Wind blows at something that knocks against the external wall in the room. Room 702.
Room service is average and room is clean…only consolation.

Wow - where to start....
Arrived at the hotel at 19:00 on Tuesday 26 November - was told my room is not available as an airline crew just checked out (4 hours after my room was supposed to be available). We then decided to go to dinner, came back at about 20:50 my room is still not available. I hung around till about 21:10. I then went up to my room - door was open, window was open, there were no towels and the toilet was still dirty.
At about 21:15 i was given my room key.... more than 6 hours after actual check in time.
My colleagues toilet was also not cleaned - so clearly a norm for this hotel.
How is this ok and all I'm told is the crew only checked out at 19:00 - how is this my problem? How was 1 client given a late check out at the expense of another client.
Strangely this happened to me in 2015 - same hotel.
