This 5-star gem in Rosebank offers an incredible blend of luxury, serenity, and personalized hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, making me feel truly welcomed. The attentive staff went above and beyond, with one gentleman personally assisting me with my bags and giving me a beautiful tour of the property. 🛏️ The Room & Amenities:My room was an absolute 10/10—elegantly designed, spacious, and thoughtfully curated. The bathroom was a standout, seamlessly blending nature with luxury. The spa-style bathtub with power jets felt like a personal jacuzzi, and the heated carpet was a wonderful touch. The selection of toiletries was impressive, adding to the refined experience. 🍽️ Breakfast & Dining:The honor area, complete with an ice maker, tea, and coffee facilities, was a lovely addition. Breakfast featured a great variety, including fresh muesli, granola, Woolworths yogurt, fruit, bacon, and avo—perfect for those who prefer lighter, healthier options.

Minor Considerations: While my stay was fantastic, there were a few small areas that could enhance the experience: - The honest bar fridge meant items weren’t complimentary, which was slightly unexpected. - The hot water in the morning was lukewarm rather than truly hot, which was a bit inconvenient during winter. - As someone with a spider phobia, I noticed webs under the vanity sink late at night, making my bath less relaxing. Despite these minor points, Parkwood Boutique Guest House delivers an unforgettable stay with elegance, tranquility, and outstanding service. I will absolutely return for another peaceful and indulgent getaway —highly recommended for those seeking refined comfort! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The staff were the highlight, particularly JP who could not do enough to make you feel welcome and make your stay extra special. The room was amazing, the bed comfortable, the bathroom enormous, the wardrobe space incredible. Just a wonderful boutique hotel in a great area of Johannesburg.

The only tiny improvement would be to provide full size ironing boards rather than miniature ones that need to rest of a desk. But it's a small detail that should not put anyone off staying here as it's a wonderful hotel.

The size of the property was big enough to have a dining room but small enough that we felt like we were part of a family visiting from out of town. Rooms were large and comfortable, and decorated nicely. The patio, gardens and library nook added exceptional places to relax. Staff were so friendly and helpful. This was our first visit to Joberg and they helped us map out places to see that were not necessarily on the prime tourist lists.

Bathrooms are outdated open concept making lighting a challenge for middle of the night visits.

What a wonderful hotel we are so pleased that we stayed here just disappointed that it was only for the 2 nights. We stayed in Johannesburg to break up the journey from the UK and before we went on safari in Zambia and in addition we hadn't visited Johannesburg previously. The Parkwood is in a safe neighbour (you are free to wander locally during the day but best to book an Uber in the evenings) but also has wonderful security. The hotel is really well decorated, well maintained and has some lovely communal sitting areas around a small pool and after a long journey we spent several hours just chilling out. From the moment we arrived all the team were so helpful - we were very lucky that we were able to check in early (not something we expected - would have been just happy to drop our bags off) and were looked after from that moment until we left. It was great to meet and chat with Sarah who was happy to provide recommendations on restaurants / activities. The rooms are sizeable each with a small private outdoor courtyard and lovely bathroom. Breakfasts were a mix of cold buffett and you could order a selection of hot breakfast dishes along with toast - all freshly made. The Parkwood is a fabulous hotel - you won't be disappointed .... we weren't.

Nothing !

The staff (Jean-Paul in particular) were lovely - very friendly, super happy to help. We were expecting to come back late, and it was a cold night, so they put a heater in the room for us and made sure it was lovely and snug when we got back.

Nothing at all. The breakfast was simple but tasty - Wouldn't eat in if you're expecting fine dining - but really just right.

The location is well centered and it is quick to travel to the city's / town's attractions, like malls, zoo etc. The venue itself, though it is located inside of a busy area, is quite and peaceful. Gardens, pools and décor is so well maintained and the security is great and the staff is really helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is amazing. The food was good and the bed comfortable.

Very little was out of place. The bathroom dimming lights were slightly difficult to operate and the aircon did not work, most likely due to load shedding and didn't really affect our stay at all. Other than that, everything was great.

It is in a safe area, close to Rosebank Mall. It has 24/7 security services. One is able to enjoy a jog in and around the area. It has enough parking space. It has 2 swimming pools that are well managed. It offers a lot of therapeutic options. It has indoor and outdoor showers. It has a Spa Treatment. It also has a Library section with lots of books. It has a lot of benches for fresh air. It also has an Honesty Bar.

Although there is a generator, on the executive rooms, the electricity would often trip after load shedding.

Parkwood's amazing location, combined with its stunning gardens and top-notch facilities, made our stay truly unforgettable. The accommodation was not only beautiful but also incredibly comfortable. The personal service we received, especially from the kind and attentive staff like JP, was exceptional. The breakfast at the property was fantastic, enhancing our overall experience. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again!

Ideal location, possible to venture out by foot to restaurants, shopping, and spa. Super friendly and helpful staff with a personal touch, making the stay comfortable and memorable. It was very nice to chill on the terrace with a book and tea. I also liked the beverages area where I could make myself tea or coffee or get a cold drink.

The breakfast options were quite limited. Admittedly, it would have been relatively easy to get breakfast outside in a coffee shop, but we chose not to and stayed in the comfort of the hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at The Parkwood! The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed—nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and our room was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
