My husband and I have just returned from our honeymoon in South Africa and our stay at the Westcliff was a definite highlight. In addition to all the great room and fantastic bathroom (the luggage area alone could have been rented out as a separate room in some places!), we enjoyed great views as well as great hospitality and food... more

My wife and I travel extensively for business and pleasure, and the Westcliff was a wonderful, wonderful oasis!. Our room was nice, sophisticated, and large, with decor being old school, but very tasteful (very similar to the Bel Air Hotel in California) - the bathroom was perhaps one of the nicest we have seen anywhere, almost as large as the... more

If only our flight hadn't been delayed 6 hours, we would have had the opportunity to experience this gracious property for more than a very short overnight stay. The stunning location and the spacious and comfortable rooms and bathrooms make this a memorable hotel. Built into a hillside above the city's zoological park, the views are commanding. We enjoyed a... more

My wife and I stayed here our last night during our 16 day trip to South Africa in November 2007 and looked forward to a pleasant experience before our long flight back to the states. Reading all the previous reviews the Westcliff sounded like the place to stay. We were very disappointed - our room was worn, wallpaper coming off... more

We stayed at the Westcliff for two nights at the beginning and end of our visit to South Africa, other than the Saxon this would be difficult to beat in J'burg. The service was of a high quality throughout and we arranged an airport pick up with the hotel which is sensible particularly if landing in J'burg late at night.... more

A lovely suburban hotel perched on a well landscaped hillside. The rooms are in building clusters up on a winding driveway up the hill. Large rooms, spacious baths - all well appointed with balcony views of the lush gardens. The restaurants offer superbly served and delicious meals and the bar is even better. The guest services provide quality transportation to... more

Nice hotel.... but certainly not the best I have ever stayed in. Rooms are very spacious - however just seem a bit dated (although a lot of that has to do with the chose decor of the hotel). Needing a shutle to go from the lobby to your room or up to the bar/resturaunt is rather inconvenient - however some... more

The "rooms" are actually more like apartments, very spacious and comfortable. The grounds are beautifully kept. It's all on a hill so you either hike up and down or the staff will take you in carts. There's a nice infinity pool at the top and some great views of suburban Johannesburg. The staff was friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet... more

I traveled with my daughetr (who was on business) to the Westcliff where we stayed for 7 nights. Everything about this hotel was first class. The location, property and grounds are meticulously cared for and just stunningly beautiful. But that is only the beginning ! The people are the real heart of this hotel experience. Everyone we interacted with (concierge,... more
