The staff was most helpful and wonderful. Special Kudos to Nancy and Matt. I was not there but one night due to the schedule changes from the airlines due to the illegal war on Iran from our idiot, felon president. However, my only surprise was the mold and mildew in the shower. It looks like the shower was never fully sprayed or scrubbed down and that was a bit gross. I would book this property again.

We had arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport, no one was there. Asked the agent at information desk to call driver and hotel for us, we were told to wait and someone would be there shortly. we waited 1 hour and nobody showed up. Asked the help of information agent to contact the driver again, the driver had been given the wrong customer name. Someone else ended up taking us to the hotel. Would have given a 5 otherwise.

Perfect visit

I spent a couple nights there so I could explore the city on the Hop on and off bus…
It was a quick walk down to Rosebank shopping area, where you caught the first stop of the bus. From the beginning to end, my experience was great, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. As a solo traveler, it’s nice when people acknowledge you coming and going, it gives you a sense of security. I have celiac disease and I can’t eat gluten and dairy and ate two dinners and two breakfast in the restaurant, they were great about accommodating me and making sure I had things that were delicious.
My balcony overlooking the pool, beautiful sunsets.
My only regret was I didn’t have more time to stay there!

Clico Boutique hotel is a really nice establishment. The room was very clean. The bathroom is quite large with waterfall shower head and the staff was super friendly. Unfortunately my sister got very ill after having dinner at the hotel. She had no energy, could hardly walk or speak. When we arrived home we took straight to the hospital and there we found out that she had samenella poisoning in the blood along with a bacterial gut infection which contributed to borderline kidney failure. She's still in the hospital recovering. Her situation made me dislike Clico hotel for the improper handling of food. I witnessed the same people who work in the restaurant were also cleaning the pool, sweeping and maintaining the grounds and will go back into the restaurant/ kitchen and served the hotel guests with the same attire . How incredibly stupid that they weren't mindful that they can bring in contaminants into the food area exposing their guests to serious illnesses. Very disappointing.

Excellent spot in northern suburbs

I can’t imagine a better place to stay! The place feels like a home with just nine rooms. The food is simply outstanding - hot breakfast is prepared to order and presented as a five-star restaurant meal in a sunny room with fresh breeze. The staff are fabulous - greeted by friendly and professional people at every turn, from the guard outside to the front desk and waiters. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet - great bedding. The location is on a nice street and super convenient. We walked to Rosebank restaurants (even at night) without any issues. Try a drink/meal at sunset the beautiful rooftop deck at Marble restaurant. Skip the impersonal chain hotels. This is so much better.

The hotel was very nice, with spacious rooms and balconies/patios, a nice pool, decent wifi, accommodating staff, and a nice restaurant with good food and wine. Our hotel arranged a shuttle from the airport for ~$25 USD for the 30 min drive, but Uber is also possible. The surrounding area was very upscale and had numerous shopping malls with anything you could want to buy. It was not considered safe to walk the streets at night, even around our hotel.

From the moment we connected with Peggy months before arrival we were treated to her amazing service. Peggy, Marvelene (hope I got the spelling correct!) and all the staff at Clico from the servers, the gates man and their driver contact Dan were wonderful. We felt genuinely cared for and the smiles and friendliness from all were addictive.
The restaurant was beautiful and from breakfast to the amazing 4 course lunch, dinner and wines the food and care of the staff was amazing.
I must add that our driver Dan was the first contact we had upon arrival in Joburg after 30hours travel; he was so kind and informative. We greatly appreciated all the beautiful people we met during our stay.

The Good and the Not So Good

Clico was great! It used to be a mansion now converted to a hotel, which gave it a personal feeling. The staff was very friendly and willing to help out in any way possible. The food was AWESOME! The Seabass and Pork Belly dishes were the best. The rooms were spacious with all the comforts you need.

On the flip side, there are some things which could be improved and one may just pertain to me. First, there is no wall separating the bathroom and the room. There is only a wall divider. I'm ok with it unless if the other person is not feeling well if you know what I mean, or else the smell would be awful. Second, when I check in to a hotel, I like to head to my room and relax. Unfortunately, the welcome letter in the room with instructions to the wifi network were incorrect. Therefore, I had to call the front desk to assist. That's when the typo was discovered. Third, every day I was in Joburg, was planned to the hour. The exception was the last day when I freed half a day so I could enjoy the pool. When I got to the hotel, I found out there was a wine and cheese tasting event being hosted at the hotel and therefore the pool was off limits. There was no posting or communication about this event so I wasted half a day in my room. Finally, this is just me I think, I like the room to be cool and the AC in the room was not strong enough for me. There were a couple of nights when I woke up sweating.

Regardless, I did enjoy my stay.

The hotel is located in the Rosebank area which is an upscale and safe area of Johannesburg. Staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful trying in every way possible to be of assistance. An excellent breakfast was included with the room. We also had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and it was outstanding with excellent food and service. We didn't get a chance to use the pool because it was raining but it looked lovely.

Quiet boutique hotel in a green area

Clico is a small boutique hotel located in a residential area a short walk from the Rosebank Mall, and a quick ride from the excellent Gautrain station, effectively connecting the area to the airport. The area surrounding the hotel is very green, quiet and safe. An Uber ride to Parkhurst - which is a great area for restaurants and bars - takes only a few minutes. For my first visit to Joburg I found the location perfect and it gave me access to the entire city using Uber and the Gautrain.

I had a ground floor room with my own little patio facing the pool, which was a very calm and relaxing environment. There were a few other guests at the hotel but I hardly noticed them.

The breakfast is excellent, you get a menu and can order a cooked meal in addition to a small buffet. All choices I tried were delicious.

All in all a very comfortable and relaxing hotel experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Joburg.

A lovely place to stay in Joburg

This was one of the nicest hotels I have stayed at anywhere, ever. The staff was so incredibly warm and helpful. We arrived after a very long journey and our room wasn't ready yet but they gave us another room anyway so we could shower and rest and offered us coffee. The room we eventually had was spacious, clean and quiet, tucked away in a corner with a view of a courtyard with a pool. The breakfast included every day was delicious, with lots of options, and it really filled you up for a day of adventuring. It was served in a nice sunny room and all the waitstaff were very kind. When we returned at the end of the day, we were warmly greeted by the gate attendant and would find little chocolates on our pillow. The staff also gave us good recommendations of what to do during our time in Joburg. It is just a lovely hotel in a safe and relaxed neighborhood of the city. Highly recommended.

An exceptional boutique hotel experience!

I was prepared to enjoy my stay at Clico given the hotel's high ratings on Trip Advisor, however the experience far exceeded my expectations. I arrived in a car from Joburg airport at 1am - the hotel staff were waiting for me, greeted me warmly and offered to prepare a meal or bring me tea. This care and generous attention characterized my whole stay - all the staff called me by name, they asked after my day, and they were so thoughtful about little ways to make my stay special - from charting my jogging route, to calling my taxis and planning my daily schedule with me. The room was very clean and spacious, the bed comfortable and the bathroom sparkling (with great water pressure). The hidden gem is really the restaurant. The chef has created a sophisticated but approachable menu. I had an incredible meal of Asian vegetables and glazed tofu that I will not soon forget. I will be recommending the team at Clico every chance I get - thank you all for hosting me!
