    The Great Gatsby Houghton exuded a delightful charm that transported me to a bygone era. I was captivated by the antique decor and furnishings that adorned its elegant rooms and common areas. The intricate details and ornate designs brought back memories of a time when beauty and craftsmanship took center stage. As a senior woman, I appreciated the accessibility of the hotel, with its spacious hallways and comfortable seating areas that were perfect for relaxing and socializing with fellow guests. The peacefulness of the gardens also provided a serene retreat, where I could unwind and enjoy the tranquility of nature.

    If I were to suggest one improvement for a more enjoyable experience for senior people, it would be to have more assistance available from the children working at the hotel. Additional support, such as help with carrying luggage or providing guidance around the premises, would greatly enhance the overall vacation experience for senior guests.

    Stayed in a fancy place with a pool and garden, felt like a queen. Enjoyed the outdoor BBQ with friends and the continental breakfast was to die for.

    The spider webs in my room felt like a cozy petting zoo. 🕷️🕸️

    The staff were so friendly and made us feel right at home. They really went above and beyond for us, making sure we had everything we needed. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city. We were able to easily explore all the attractions and restaurants nearby. Plus, the breakfast was delicious and served in a cozy ambiance.

    We did encounter some noise issues during our stay. The walls seemed to be quite thin, as we could hear people talking and coming and going.

    I had a very special stay and would return anytime, thank you. The hotel was fairly clean with really helpful staff, I felt safe. The place had a quiet atmosphere. The location was absolutely perfect because it was just off a big garden in the middle of Johannesburg, public transport and Johannesburg. Houghton district was worth exploring;))

    The Great Gatsby offers a stunningly restored 1920s mansion with individual tastefully decorated suites. The breakfasts are exceptional and made to order, served on antique silverware, creating an elegant dining experience. The host, Gina, is incredibly gracious and goes above and beyond to provide personalized recommendations and excellent service. The ambiance and decor exude a sense of grandeur, reminiscent of a museum. The attention to detail and historical charm make this a truly unique and memorable stay.

    Felt free to seek any assistance, no reason to complain.

    I had a memorable stay at a beautifully restored mansion that transported me back in time. The attention to detail in the antique decor and furnishings was stunning. The 5-course breakfast served on fine china was exceptional. The owner, Gina, was a gracious and knowledgeable host, going above and beyond to make my experience special. The location was also ideal for my needs.

    While there were some minor inconveniences like shared bathrooms and a short bed, they were overshadowed by the overall exceptional experience.
