Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton

The hotel is very beautiful and comfortable. The breakfast is complete has a lot of options, the staff is very friendly and helpful (they allowed us late check-out as it was possible also because I wasn’t feeling good and our flight was late) there is a lovely bar inside the hotel and a meat restaurant also connected to the hotel but there is also some asian restaurants nearby and these were good options for dinner or lunch not far from the hotel (2 min walk), the room is spacious, the amenities are very good and the hair dryer is big and has high power. Is located in a very good area of JHB and overall is really nice to stay here

The location is awesome. The Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton is located close to Marc Shopping Centre, a place with a well-equipped gym, fantastic restaurants such as Wok and Roll - Korean cuisine with incredible food, very tasty soups and sushi; and Ribs and Burgers - one of the best places to eat ribs and burgers. The Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton also has the Bull Run restaurant inside, with incredible food. The hotel also offers a free shuttle service for transportation to and from the Hotel to Nelson Mandela Square, an incredible shopping mall, for a wonderful shopping experience and also the opportunity to try various types of Korean, Chinese, Italian food and Greek. culinary flavors.

The breakfast was very good . Wide selection of foods. It would be great if vegans or plant based guests could have non diary milk, frozen blue berries etc. Frozen vegetables were available but they were overcooked. Given the security status in Johannesburg it was great to have the shuttle bus from the hotel to Sandton shopping centre. I saw families with young children. I just wonder how did they manage to provide clean clothes on a daily basis? A laundry room with dryers would be very helpful. Washing powder and coins to operate the machines can be provided at the reception desk. Just a thought.

The hotel's location exceeded expectations, offering convenient proximity to key attractions and vibrant local amenities. The room was both comfortable and well-appointed, providing a delightful retreat after a day of exploration

The hotel is so pretty and so central. Staff was Amazing and friendly, check in was so smooth. We stayed for one night for a function and it was walking distance to our venue. There is also a shuttle service that takes you around santon. So very convenient if you don’t have a car. We loved it. Hotel was nice and busy. And room was clean.
