Detailed Reviews
The booking was done on behalf of my partner who had training to attend in Gauteng. The place was very clean, the staff was accomodating and very friendly. He enjoyed the breakfast on offer and mentioned he would stay at Glendower again if the need arose.

The breakfast is a bit disappointing and I feel a bit more care could be taken in the preparation and serving.

This guest house is conveniently situated to some great golf courses and padel courts. Easy access to high way and airport. Clean rooms, great breakfast, friendly staff. We also had a great braai on the stoep while watching the world cup rugby. (Go Bokke!!)
Great value for money.

The offering at breakfast should be improved. To have instant coffee with no option of filter coffee and then to have to pay extra for a cappuccino etc is not great. This should be included in the bed and breakfast rate. I booked based on the 4 star rating so expected a little better. The room was nice and clean and the staff friendly.

Ideal for a stopover close to the OR Tambo airport and have a couple of visits or meetings planned from there before moving on. Quiet place with clean rooms and very friendly staff. Lunch and dinner not standard can be arranged at request.

We have stayed at Glendower before and had a good experience. However, this time we had to cancel our booking, well within the time allowed for free cancellation. We made our payment in August and are now still waiting (Nov) for a refund.

I had a wonderful quick visit at the Glendower Guesthouse. The staff are incredibly kind and helped me through airport transfers + quick changes to my booking. I felt so taken care of and at ease because of how I was treated by the incredible staff. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a quick stop over or long stay in Johannesburg.
My biggest take away from my visit was the feeling and kindness but a few other details need to be noted as well,
- The breakfast was INCREDIBLE. Included in the stay and absolutely delicious made to order.
- My room was spotless + the bed was very comfortable.
- Airport transfer was on time and easy (even at 4am).
- Communication was super responsive and personal - thank you Lisa <3
Highly recommend and hope to return!

I enjoyed staying at Glendower. Location and access to maid roads are great and rooms are well appointed. Safe and fairly quiet environment. Breakfast was good. Just a bit of a struggle to get onto the property during the day.
