Zevenster Boutique Hotel by The Giglio

Location and beautiful rooms

Staff were unfriendly, especially the breakfast manager, unprofessional, brings an otherwise good hotel to below average.

Breakfast was good and the location excellent, solo traveler, I felt safe. The Dinner was exceptional.

The aircon in the room was not super silent, could hear the humming, which disturbed my sleep.

All facilities and especially the gym.

Welcome snacks and gym

Muito limpo, novo e confortável

Beautifully maintained property, restaurant meals were delicious and good value.

It was really clean

Beautiful decor and comfy beds. The best thing about the property was the lovely lady called Charity who looked after us so well, we arrived so early in the morning and were not expecting our room but she got us into our room and even organised a lovely coffee, nothing was too much trouble, a lovely welcome to Africa. Great beds. Lovely restaurant also.

Nothing

Rooms are quite big, beds are really comfy, dinner and breakfast were very good in quality and service. We also tried a massage at the new Spa which was really great, I just suggest to privide before or after the treatment something to drink like a tea, this is a service and a small touch that in a five star hotel should be done

Staff was great so was room. The only problem is that it is Winter now and the heating System was not enough and the room was super cold

Mentioned above

Lovely place to stay- only 10-15 minutes drive to the airport in a safe neighbourhood, clean and comfortable rooms, professional and helpful staff, nice new gym and restaurant with delicious breakfasts and dinner

Staff were lovely at this hotel and the bed was very comfy. The room was spacious - bigger than expected. Was able to purchase drinks from reception if needed.

We weren't advised that there were building works going on, literally surrounding the hotel. So this was noisy and not the most aesthetic of views! The area did not feel like there was much around, not your 'typical touristy' spots.

Absolutely Beautifully decorated room & we received a free upgrade for our anniversary. With rose petals & swan towels ! Thank you . Staff were lovely & helpful . Gorgeous comfy bed & bedding . Excellent meal in restaurant.

There was no kettle which is a big problem for tea drinkers but they found us one . Strangely there was 2 teabags tho . The glass separating the shower / bath area was very close to the bed which made it a hazard at night if you went to the toilet . There should be a safety chain on the patio door on the room which leads to outside .

The friendly staff and service, clean rooms and great food. Everything was truly exceptional.

It's hard to think of anything. Lol

Presque Tout

L’eau de la piscine très froide car pas chauffée !

Venue is beautiful

Staff at bar area not very clued up and overall have bad attitudes for people in service industry.

Fitness centre and excelent food

Nothing

The property was everything it promised , comfortable elegance. Beautiful location and customized rooms that felt like being home. The staff was great and attended to all our needs

Nothing to dislike

Friendly staff, beautiful spacious rooms. Perfectly convenient location

Nothing much, WiFi a little inconsistent

Rooms

Phoned room service and noone answered. Took 15 minutes before call back.

Clean and modern. Good value for money.

Everything. Tyla who is running the Spa, should get a special mention as always checking if a treatment is needed.

Great facilities and staff - excellent restaurant

Breakfast menu was a little small [few choices]

L'hôtel est très beau ainsi que les espaces extérieurs. La chambre est magnifique et très confortable. Dîner et petit déjeuner excellent. Equipe réactive et souriante. Nous avons pu faire laver notre linge le soir même pour un départ avant 11h le lendemain.

If you are looking for a luxury stay in Johannesburg that feels warm, personal, and familiar, then Zevenster Boutique Hotel by The Giglio is in a class of its own. From the moment you arrive, the attention to detail stands out. The rooms are beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The staff make you feel welcome from the first minute. It feels more like visiting family than staying at a hotel. The restaurant deserves special mention. Dinner at Zevenster Restaurant was exceptional. Excellent wine selection, beautifully prepared food, and service that matches the quality of the hotel. Easily one of the best boutique dining experiences in Bedfordview. For any Capetonian travelling to Johannesburg, this place feels like home away from home. Calm atmosphere. Stylish Cape-inspired feel. Safe surroundings. World-class hospitality. Without a doubt, one of the finest boutique hotels in Gauteng.

Location

Very nice property with spacious rooms, attentive staff and good food.

Great location and exceptional staff

Very expensive

Small boutique with a lot of attention to detail.

Food was excellent. We had breakfast and dinner.

It was perfect. Could not be improved.

Чисто, приветливый персонал, хороший спортзал, вкусный ресторан. Мне понравилось все.

Homely feel

It’s perfect

Newly renovated clean and well positioned

Road noise

It would be great if you could get an option of twin beds instead of one king size bed. It’s just easier and more comfortable for two colleagues sharing

So well appointed . From big fluffy bath towels and robes to a comfy king size bed .... Great breakfast ..... and conveniently situated

Nothing

Superb staff - friendly, courteous, responsive and helpful. The room was large and impeccably kept and the location is great not just for airport but for shops, restaurants and bars (note that the hotel's restaurant is excellent and could be a destination in its own right).

My only very minor complaint is the 7 am start for breakfast. Since many, many flights leave in the morning, it would be nice if either breakfast opened earlier or the hotel could prepare a simple takeaway continental bfast with yogurt, bread, fruit etc.

Super comfortable beds and bedding. Very friendly staff. Close to airport.

We were on the end and would have liked to have been in the garden area. Need a shower shelf to put shampoo on—we had to use the sink area.

We could not have been more satisfied with our stay. The staff went out of their way to meet all our needs, and indeed exceeded in doing so, and let us stay and make use of all the facilities having booked out, as our flights home were not until the evening. The rooms were extremely comfortable, and the meals delicious. The location was also perfect, being in a quiet, secure residential area just 15 minutes from the airport. I would recommend the Giglio unreservedly.

Nothing!

Convenient for our company, Ntsele Global Capital to host business associates/ guests as it is about 700 meters away from us and close to the airport and major highways

Lovely layout to hotel, quite separate rooms, excellent service from all staff.

absolutely everything!!!! Staff are well trained and it shows. They are on point with everything. The rooms and premises are out of this world. Amazing location and safety within resort grounds. the new spa is on another level. this is a must stay for travellers.

i loved it all so there is not much to say.

Almost everything - comfort, ambiance, excellent breakfast, ease of check in/out.

Lack of hanging space for longer ladies dresses

Great location and friendly staff. Option for late check out which was greatly appreciated

Property was undergoing renovations, specifically to the pool and external painting of the rooms which we weren’t made aware of before we arrived. Disappointing as the tranquility and relaxation we were looking forward to was disturbed by dust, noise and workmen around the property. Unable to sit on our patio or open our windows as they were painting our room. Pool was unusable, which we looked forward to after a hot Joburg day. Uncomfortable seating on the walkway outside our room and increased privacy options should be explored.

Hotel felt like a home away from home. Great location and amazing service.

Breakfast was excellent. Location was good.

The property was hosting a wedding reception on the night of our stay. This was not communicated to us at the time of booking. We had to call reception at about 11pm to ask them to get the party to turn dial down the noise, even though we were advised when we checked in that the party would end at 10pm.

Mooie en comfortabele kamer, erg vriendelijk personeel en heel lekker gegeten.

Niets.

Very pleasant room decoration, good quality furniture, taps etc, comfortable bed, immaculate garden

Room was much smaller than on the pictures, crammed and damp from the shower. There was 18th birthday party at the restaurant spilling out onto the pool area so we only had a limited choice of garden furniture to sit at during our lunch. Food was unremarkable but perhaps we were spoiled on our travels around SA…There was noticeable noise from the road which added to un-relaxing atmosphere so instead of staying put and enjoying our buffer day before boarding a plane we ventured out to see what Johannesburg has to offer, which was actually nice.

The location and customer experience

There was nothing to dislike

Location was perfect for me and the staff are extremely friendly.

Tolles Anwesen, sehr freundliches Personal, tolle Zimmer, gutes Essen. Kurzer Weg zum Flughafen.

Pool ist klein und war noch kalt.

I loved the attention to detail and the friendly, competent staff. The room was beautifully designed, with high-quality materials and excellent bedding. Breakfast was delicious. This boutique hotel is a haven of peace and style.

There was nothing to dislike.

A great boutique hotel for the final night of our South Africa trip, would have very happily stayed there longer and would certainly go back on any return visit to Joburg. Breakfast was very good, and although we didn't eat there as had reservations in advance the menu and wine list looked top quality. Probably the best bed and shower of the 13 different places we stayed (B&B to Five Star) and with improvements they have planned this hotel will only get better.

Nothing to criticise at all

Everything at this place is truly top-notch. We’ve now stayed twice at The Giglio during our time in South Africa, and it has become a real little gem for us. It’s located in a quiet, safe area just 15 minutes from JNB airport, making it the perfect travel hub. The guest rooms are super cosy and impeccably clean, and the restaurant serves excellent food with a great selection of wines. But what really sets The Giglio apart is the incredibly friendly staff, who consistently go above and beyond to make every stay pleasant and memorable.

Nothing!

Beautiful rooms, serene garden / swimming pool area and well prepared dinner.

The mattress was a little too soft for me.

We really liked the overall design of our room—the layout felt thoughtfully planned, and the access to everything we needed was convenient and intuitive. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a long day, and the entire space was spotlessly clean, which made our stay feel even more relaxing and enjoyable.

We were disappointed by a few aspects of our stay. The TV in our room had half-burnt pixels, which made it difficult to watch anything. We asked for it to be replaced, but unfortunately, the staff wasn’t able to help with that. We had planned to relax in our room and watch one of our favorite shows, but because of the TV issue, we weren’t able to enjoy that part of our stay. We also found it inconvenient that the hotel didn’t have a gym, as we like to maintain our routine while traveling. Additionally, we were expecting a breakfast buffet, so it was a letdown to discover that this option wasn’t available.

The serene atmosphere of the manicured rose gardens on the property (there are white roses all over the place). There was even a living reception rabbit.

Doors and windows in the rooms are a bit old-fashioned and don't do much for noise cancelling. This is not a big problem because the hotel is in a quiet area.

They keep the gate open safety concerns

Staff are incredible!! Location amazing and rooms beautiful

Zoals steeds, een top accommodatie. De kamer is formidabel mooi, de ontvangst super vriendelijk en professioneel. Chique en veilige buurt, ruime parkeergelegenheid. Het restaurant serveert heerlijke fijne gerechten en het lekkere ontbijt bij het zwembad laten je rustig ontwaken zoals in een sprookje na een zalige relaxe nacht. Top!

So beautiful, clean, modern and homely. The staff are amazing. The restaurant served delicious food and they have a good wine selection . Can not fault anything.

The rooms were very nice and they had a wonderful breakfast. Their dinner was excellent as well. Staff very accommodating. They helped us organize transportation, which was a bit of a concern before arriving in Johannesburg.

Unfortunately, they were working on the pool and it was empty and they were doing some stucco work on the wall so it was a bit noisy during the day. It would’ve been nice to have the pool in the evenings.

Staff are excellent! beautiful and neat hotel
