Hotel Directory
StayEasy Eastgate
This ultra-modern hotel in Johannesburg fits into the budget bracket but is surprisingly well equipped, with air-conditioning, a swimming pool and secure parking. Situated 15 minutes' drive from OR Tambo International Airport and 10 minutes' walk from the Eastgate Shopping and entertainment complex (10 cinemas), it's just off the start of the N12/R24 freeways, within easy reach of Sandton, Pretoria, Durban and Kruger National Park. Continental breakfast is available in the lobby and guests can order meals delivered from local restaurants.
Backpackers' Ritz
The city's most established backpackers' hostel in a good location within walking distance of Hyde Park Corner Mall. Set in a rambling old house with good views of the northern suburbs, there are tidy dorms with plenty of shared bathrooms, a communal lounge with TV and internet access, lovely gardens and swimming pool, and a few self-contained rooms. They run their own excellent tour company for half- and full-day tours all over Johannesburg, and arrange airport transfers. For those on a strict budget, this is one of the best places to stay. Breakfast and a set dinner is optional.
