Johannesburg hotels: frequently asked questions

Is Sandton safer than Johannesburg's city centre?

Most visitors, especially first-timers and business travellers, base themselves in Sandton or Rosebank for exactly this reason - both are well-secured commercial districts with hotels, malls and offices side by side.

What is the Gautrain and is it useful for tourists?

A fast, modern rail line connecting OR Tambo Airport, Sandton, Rosebank and Pretoria. It is the easiest way to get from the airport into the city without a car or a transfer.

Do I need a car in Johannesburg?

Public transport beyond the Gautrain is limited, so most visitors rely on e-hailing apps or a rental car, especially for reaching Soweto or the Cradle of Humankind.

Is Johannesburg's altitude noticeable?

Yes, the city sits around 1,750 metres above sea level. Some visitors feel it with faster fatigue or a stronger effect from alcohol in the first day or two.

Do these Johannesburg stays offer free cancellation?

Most do. Every room shows whether it is refundable and the cancellation deadline before you pay.
