Premier Hotel Quatermain

A lovely haven of tranquillity and calm in a busy city. Great location that is close to all the things needed.

This is probably the best value hotel in Johannesburg, Sandton. A hidden diamond amongst tacky coal. If you have the class to recognise old school colonial quality, reminiscent of a serene Oxbridge college with immaculately maintained serene gardens, this is the option for you. First up the hotel represents awesome value for money at a little over 1000 rand a night with members discount... It is a walkable distance (at least for anybody with a bit of energy) from charming Morningside mall and it's excellent restaurants such as Hussars Grill, Tashas, Paul even Woolworths cafe etc. The spacious rooms exude pure class - wood furniture, ultra spacious, very high ceilings, enormous bathrooms with huge bathtubs and showers, properly built during an era when standards were maintained properly. Minus points: The hotel is huge. You may have to walk through sweeping grass gardens to reach your room for a full 5 minutes. No lift; if you are very lazy and cannot recognise old school class when you see it, this may annoy you. Internet in the rooms is shaky but impeccable Internet is available in the classy lounge area opposite reception. For 1000 rand a night with premier members discount or a little more, you can afford to buy your own Internet bundle rather than hanging off hotel WiFi. The restaurant does their best, but with a relatively low number of guests it is not easy for them to match the standards of a busy restaurant. Remember you can always stroll down the hill to nearby Tasha's, Hussars Grill or Paul if you find yourself hankering after a little more... Warning: if you are the sort of person seduced by a tacky, flashy, modern Chinese built glass glitzy hotel built 5 minutes ago in a tourist trap location next to Mandela Square , you may well perceive this hotel as "old fashioned" or "*******". The old school class of this place, may be too far over your head for you to understand its charm. Such sort of guests - who believe to be good it must be flashy / modern, will probably not fully appreciate the high standards and real class of Quatermain... If you can appreciate old school class at it's finest, I look forward to meeting you in the hotel lounge on my next visit..to cap it all off, this establishment even has a wood burning stove burning real firewood on cold winter nights to keep the chill away...

The room was stylish with a comfortable bed and cushions. The property is beautiful and centrally located. The shower was great. The hotel is very big, so ensure you book a room closer to the entrance if you have trouble walking or need to be in and out quickly. The staff was friendly and accommodating.

This is a very nice hotel considering the price range. Clean and spacious rooms. Colonial style. Decent food at the restaurant with very friendly staff. The neighborhood is nice but not walking distance to anywhere. Overall , pretty nice experience.

The hotel is rated 4 stars but it felt like a 2 star. Rooms had a damp smell. You need to ask for thing at reception area...eg..shower caps..hair dryer. It's not placed in the room Staff are unfriendly at the eating hall. They had an attitude and didn't display good customer service. During loadshedding..the generator didn't work...they had no back up plan. Food was ordered at 9pm and only received it at 10.45pm They don't even provide battery lights to the guests...every one was using their cell phones for some light. Ita an expensive hotel ...not worth staying.

This is a luxury hostel with dorms and not a four star property. Two chairs by the pool lol and no manager ! Room service is out of chicken and no internet except the lobby. At least i did not have bugs in ny room. The pictures are misleading. The location is very convenient.
