Premier Hotel Quatermain

A lovely haven of tranquillity and calm in a busy city. Great location that is close to all the things needed.

Got a room with a covered patio in front of the room for smoking and drinks. Great property.

This is probably the best value hotel in Johannesburg, Sandton. A hidden diamond amongst tacky coal. If you have the class to recognise old school colonial quality, reminiscent of a serene Oxbridge college with immaculately maintained serene gardens, this is the option for you. First up the hotel represents awesome value for money at a little over 1000 rand a night with members discount... It is a walkable distance (at least for anybody with a bit of energy) from charming Morningside mall and it's excellent restaurants such as Hussars Grill, Tashas, Paul even Woolworths cafe etc. The spacious rooms exude pure class - wood furniture, ultra spacious, very high ceilings, enormous bathrooms with huge bathtubs and showers, properly built during an era when standards were maintained properly. Minus points: The hotel is huge. You may have to walk through sweeping grass gardens to reach your room for a full 5 minutes. No lift; if you are very lazy and cannot recognise old school class when you see it, this may annoy you. Internet in the rooms is shaky but impeccable Internet is available in the classy lounge area opposite reception. For 1000 rand a night with premier members discount or a little more, you can afford to buy your own Internet bundle rather than hanging off hotel WiFi. The restaurant does their best, but with a relatively low number of guests it is not easy for them to match the standards of a busy restaurant. Remember you can always stroll down the hill to nearby Tasha's, Hussars Grill or Paul if you find yourself hankering after a little more... Warning: if you are the sort of person seduced by a tacky, flashy, modern Chinese built glass glitzy hotel built 5 minutes ago in a tourist trap location next to Mandela Square , you may well perceive this hotel as "old fashioned" or "*******". The old school class of this place, may be too far over your head for you to understand its charm. Such sort of guests - who believe to be good it must be flashy / modern, will probably not fully appreciate the high standards and real class of Quatermain... If you can appreciate old school class at it's finest, I look forward to meeting you in the hotel lounge on my next visit..to cap it all off, this establishment even has a wood burning stove burning real firewood on cold winter nights to keep the chill away...
