Sandra
World-class Hotel and Spa with phenomenal, six star facilities and impeccable service. We were cocooned in a paradise on earth. A phenomenal experience all around! One of our favorite hotels on earth!
James
Amazing hotel and staff; beautiful throughout - incredibly well designed and maintained. Staff is very attentive and responsive. Special thanks to Kea Sapanya. Also a call out to “Sticks” at Quno - for providing a Michelin star dining experience on Saturday. Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 day stay in our villa.
Manoj
Nice and clean gym restaurant etc spa ok
Linda
Great retreat after safari
Amazing, beautiful hotel property with the best of everything! Stunning grounds and rooms! Service was impeccable and restaurants were excellent! The Saxon is among the world’s best!
Kris
Stunning hotel in an opulent location. Staff were wonderful and the rooms fabulous.
Dana
What an exquisite property. The Saxon is one of the loveliest places we’ve ever stayed! The food was incredible, the staff kind and the accommodations weee comfortable and beautiful!
Leela
Beautiful property in a prime and safe location close to many dining options. I didn't want to leave my beautiful suite. Savon has excellent service overall. Their spa is an experience worth staying at this property for. Amazing hospitality by all the staff we encountered, from the GM to the butler. They even left us treats for our Anniversary celebrations with delicious chocolate-covered strawberries.
We just missed their 25th anniversary celebrations the next day, but the preparations looked grand.
Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

The Saxon is a beautiful property but it was the service which set it apart. Switched on intelligent staff who were really focused on ensuring guests got what they wanted from their stay.

Decline of Saxon Hotel
breakfast service was VERY poor. Orange juice was not fresh - asked for ginger to be added. Did not happen. Cappuccino was cold. Eggs Benedict took 50 minutes to arrive, was cold and not on ciabatta as requested. Waitresses had no idea how to set the table and remove plates before they bring the next course. a real bad experience. was not like this a few years ago.

Excellent premise and location. We stayed in a villa, but Qunu restaurant service sub par and overpriced.
Had to ask 3x just to get a bottle of wine and waiters kept forgetting our orders

SUPERB EXPERIENCE!
We asked to be picked up at the airport and they were waiting for us when we arrived! The ride and the chauffeur were perfect. We were greated by the manager at our arrival who introduced is to our concierge Lyndsey and she attended to all our needs perfectly. We asked for late checkout the next day since our flight was at 8:00 PM and they let us have the room till 3:00 PM graciously! The room was exceptional, the service and facilities superb. We were there on our last trip to JNB and we will be back on our next one!

amazing evening!
Absolutely superb. We were unfortunately only here one night but I would return to Johannesburg just to stay here again. One of my favorite hotels ever. Rooms were above and beyond, dinner at Qunu was fabulous and breakfast served in room was delightful as well. The property and staff unparalleled.

Exceptional
When we have to stay in J'Berg this is the ONLY hotel to stay at. Everything about The Saxon is exceptional from the service right down to the bedding. 1 night is never enough!

This was easily the best place I've stayed all year! The service was top-notch: staff were personable and always a step ahead. There are less than 60 rooms here and you really feel the intimate nature of the service as a result. The facility itself...amazing. The villas are connected by an elevated walkway, and I can't recommend the spa enough! The breakfast buffet each morning was also impressive.

Ross
A truly 5 Star boutique hotel. The staff are very courteous and well trained in their roles. From the minute you arrive you realize that your stay is going to exceed all your expectations. The decor is tasteful and the hotel has a lot to offer and all of it is top class. We stayed in the villa suites and they were beautiful, although I am sure the same is true for any of the rooms in this hotel.
It was our anniversary and we came to the room after dinner to find it covered in rose petals and tea lights. It’s the extra attention that separates this hotel from many of its 5 Star contemporaries. All in all, I couldn’t fault anything and I thoroughly enjoyed the opulence that surrounded us. I couldn’t recommend the Saxon enough to anyone who enjoys the finer things in life.

An oasis.
The staff was incredibly accommodating. The property is spectacular. Located in one of the best neighborhoods in the region. We would definitely stay again if in the area.

Don't miss it
Its not just A hotel, its a special place where Nelson Mandela spend time working on his books. The place has a beautiful spirit, great energy, it is very romantic.
Couple of miles out of the center, so its nice and fresh and quiet.
As far as the hotel part: I would give it 6 stars. Rooms are VERY spacious, modern, elegantly decorated. I can't think of one thing that I would improve. I'm definitely going back to Johannesburg and I will definitely stay at the Saxon.

I informed the front desk that my wife and I are celebrating our 47th wedding anniversary. When we entered to room they had spread rose pedals on 5 mats, a bottle of champagne, and snacks.
Their service was exquisite with one exception. I called in advance and asked for airport pick-up which they arranged. They neglected to inform me that it was not complimentary - $100 each way. We cancelled the return and used UBER which was half the price. On check out when we discovered the charge the staff was disinterested and did not attend to our questions whereas the entire stay they have been super, super attentive. Overall, the hotel and the staff are a gem!! The grounds are a delight. Best hotel we've ever stayed in in our 45 years of travelling with that one glitch.

Johannesburg Retreat
Amazing property with large rooms and great service. Stayed two different times once on the hotel and the second in one of the villas that have seperate rooms but a communal area such as bar, dining area etc with own parking area accessible from main floor. Either is great. Heated and Unheated pools , excellent on site restaurant and service that is at a very high level. Great value.

Flawless as usual!

What a Gem

Saxon - A trip to remember
My Boyfriend and I stayed at the Saxon for his birthday getaway for 3 nights over the weekend. This by far was the best decision we made. Upon arrival the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The hotel is absolutely beautiful and if you have a chance you must stay there because words truly will not do it justice. I could not fault the staff for anything. We had left our room and when we came back it smelt a bit odd, we made the staff aware of this and in less than 5mins they had come to the room to find the problem the apologised profusely and even offered to change our room for the night though we felt it wasn't necessary. They had upgraded our room to one of the presidential villas and to be honest we didn't want to change that. We ended up extending a night even though we changed rooms the standards did not fall. They took extreme care of us and even helped my boyfriend put on a lovely surprise for me which was lovely.
They provide free breakfast and a free mini bar both have pretty extensive list of items that they provide you with and not to forget that upon check in you get a complimentary bottle of champagne. I could go on for sometime about how great of a place this is but honestly I would say book it and you will not regret your decision.
The Saxon hotel is truly a gem and I will most definitely return here one day.

GORGEOUS HOTEL
The hotel is sooo beautiful. The staff was super helpful and friendly. As soon as we arrived they gave us a complementary upgrade to the villas (thanks to expedia loyalty) with a complimentary sparkling wine bottle and 30 minute massage. The rooms are very spacious and the bed is super comfortable. The outdoor dinning area is so beautiful with such a great view of the pool and trees and sunset. They have an elegant restaurant that served 8 course tasting menu which was excellent, I would definitely recommend booking in advance. The hotel also helped us organize a private car to take us around the city. Its VIP treatment hotel 100%. It is definitely worth staying here. Im definitely coming back.

Heaven on Earth!!!
This is by far the nicest hotel in Johannesburg (and I've stayed in many other 5star hotels in the area)!!! I cannot fault a thing, from service to spa treatments and restaurants, everything was perfect and we were treated like royalties! If you can afford it, don't even look further, just book it and you won't regret it :)
