It is a very eclectic hotel with unique lounging areas on the different floors. Staff were great and breakfast was good. There was an issue with no curtains or shades on the door to one of the balconies in our room but being on the 3rd floor mitigate any exposure. We will definitely stay again if we are ever in Johannesburg again

What a lovely, unique property! I felt well taken care of, yet fully private and secluded. Wonderful people and service.

Property processed a double booking and refused to honour my reservation despite booking it first. Restaurant service is slow, but staff is friendly. Food is ok, but very overpriced for the quality- chicken schnitzel was small and thin (R180). The chocolate lava dessert had no "lava" to speak of. Room was clean and comfortable, but not at all what I booked or expected.

We highly recommend this Boutique Hotel set in a quiet and pretty street in upmarket Houghton. We stayed for three nights in the Emperor Nero Suite and it was perfect in every way - comfortable beds, well appointed bathroom, a separate sitting room with television and a roomy balcony. The room also has a good sized fridge, a microwave and air conditioning. We ate in the hotel one evening and it was delicious. Breakfast every day was very good with freshly made coffee, fresh fruit and many cooked options available. The staff were, without exception, very attentive and polite with special mention to Fisherman who went above and beyond in every regard. The premises are clean and well kept as well as feeling very secure. We would definitely stay here again.

Avoid the hustle and hectic pace of the city and those never ending shopping malls. Stay at the Villa Simone and experience something very unusual and very charming!! In the upmarket area of Houghton, just along the street where Nelson Mandela once lived, stands behind a large and secure wall is this very unusual hotel. Surrounded by beautiful tranquil gardens, with a nice pool, this once a very rich man's mansion is now an all suite hotel. The suites are large and all themed, such as Matador, Balmoral, Olympia and many others. The service, food and price are all exceptional. The decor and various areas of the hotel are a sheer delight and a promise of a very remarkable stay,
