Is The Houghton Hotel, Spa, Wellness & Golf good? Overview, pros and cons
Staylist AI overview · based on 8 public guest reviews
“Houghton's Joburg calibre”
The Houghton Hotel, Spa, Wellness & Golf is a fine Johannesburg stay — clean spacious cold-AC'd rooms, a good gym, a fresh-feeling breakfast, the praised Nova Bistro with huge portions, a convenient golf location, and intentional fantastic staff; one guest calls the Presidential Suite the finest value versus US peers. Caveats though: a nine-twenty room-service order never arrived on a repeat visit, the air conditioning blinked leaving a cold room, and signage is scarce enough to get lost.
