Villa Simonne

Hotel Villa Simone is not just a great time, it's a unique trip around the world. All numbers are themed according to various cultural and national formats. The "Hollywood" room places you in the dreams and bombast of the world of cinema, the "Geisha" room is Japan and samurai ambiance, "Olympia" is the world of Gods and Odysseus, simultaneously, "Marrakech" teleports you to Morocco with tagines, carpets, and the aesthetic of Casablanca. "Moulin Rouge", "Matador", "Bali" and so on. Individual words of thanks to the hotel staff - polite, attentive, and very warm people. And of course, special words of thanks to the hotel owner Dmitry - a real, open, beautiful, and very noble person. Your brainchild is the pearl of Johannesburg. Huge thanks for everything. You are the best!

Property processed a double booking and refused to honour my reservation despite booking it first. Restaurant service is slow, but staff is friendly. Food is ok, but very overpriced for the quality- chicken schnitzel was small and thin (R180). The chocolate lava dessert had no "lava" to speak of. Room was clean and comfortable, but not at all what I booked or expected.

We highly recommend this Boutique Hotel set in a quiet and pretty street in upmarket Houghton. We stayed for three nights in the Emperor Nero Suite and it was perfect in every way - comfortable beds, well appointed bathroom, a separate sitting room with television and a roomy balcony. The room also has a good sized fridge, a microwave and air conditioning. We ate in the hotel one evening and it was delicious. Breakfast every day was very good with freshly made coffee, fresh fruit and many cooked options available. The staff were, without exception, very attentive and polite with special mention to Fisherman who went above and beyond in every regard. The premises are clean and well kept as well as feeling very secure. We would definitely stay here again.
