  Mujer en Johannesburg

  El B&B es lindo, cuidan mucho los detalles, el personal es muy atento, los desayunos ricos......el hotel esta lejos, lejos, lejos de todo y si no eres huesped del país y vienes en carro no te recomiendo te quedes aquí........la zona cara de la ciudad donde se encuentra ubicado, hace que todos los servicios lo sean: cena pedida a tu cuarto, taxi, tours. Nadie te previene de esto, por eso lo estoy haciendo yo! Cuidado con los tours de Lords Travels, nunca pidan un tour de estos organizadores (www.lordstravels.co.za) el hotel me puso en contacto con ellos y tuve varias sorpresas desagradables. Yo pedí dos tours: 1)Cullinan diamond mine, surface y 2) Soweto & Johannesburg & Apartheid museum....... el primero me costó mas del doble de lo que pagaron otros participantes que se hospedadron en los B&B ubicados cerca del aeropuerto, ademas el tour se supone era de 8 horas y fueron 5 solamente, reclamé al dueno y no se imaginan los grosero que fue conmigo.......por supuesto no le importó el descaro del alto precio por estar en este hotel de la zona cara de Jo`burg, la visita a la mina duro cuando mucho dos horas (con todo y la visita a la tienda de diamantes), interesante ver los diamantes encontrados en la mina, las historias y por supuesto la mina en si, no se la pierdan pero vayan con otro operador.

  Great rooms, OK service, lacking personal service

  It's a great place to stay, with decent rooms - I stayed for 8 days. Breakfast was OK, and staff were fine but the room I stayed in had a few issues one of which was the resolved even though they did try..doubt I will stay here again, the only thing was it was convenient and nicely designed other then that there may be other places. I am bemused by the rating they have on the wall as I would say it's more 4 star then 5 star guest house.

  Smiling faces

  This place and its people will always put a smile on your face and the food will make your tummy smile too. As a world traveler of over thirty years living hotels all my life this is as close as you can come to home :) nothing more to say but please keep it up hope to see you next week. Kevin

  my home in Jo'burg

  I stayed in Ashdown House more than 20 times over last 10 years & rate is very highly. Each time I stayed the personal touch by the Ashdown team makes me feel at home. Its just a fabulous guesthouse with ideal location for my meetings in Jo'burg & safety is guaranteed which is important in SA.

  Mamma Margaret!!

  I often feel when staying in Johannesburg that there is a distinct lack of quality boutique hotels, it may be that they are there but kept secret by their ardent supporters!! Ashdown House is a very cute, quaint boutique guest house, views of the garden from my bedroom were a welcome site rather than a suburban jungle view. Mamma Margaret as she should be called, was very hospitable and welcoming without being overly fussy. Mamma Margaret was of great help when I arrived and then promptly left for a function, dispensing with only the necessary details was a great help. The room was large, well appointed with delightful touches such as ground coffee for making a tasty cup, fresh milk, fruit and if feeling reckless, sherry!! Wifi signal good and should I have wanted it, plenty of space to move around. Breakfast time was a little confusing as I turned up to find the dining room locked up, I could not find any available information in my room about the guest house and its facilities which might have assisted me, that being said on my second attempt all was well. Breakfast was a buffet style for cold eats and a help yourself service for tea, coffee etc. One useful gadget being a milk frother, instant capuccino without having to work a machine!!! My food was satisfactory, poached eggs and mushrooms presented well and was hot. I would have preferred fresh bread rather than pre sliced but hey, a small detail. What was more off putting was the TV tuned to a channel which was completely unnecessary. On departure, Mamma Margaret was attentive and helpful, seeing me off as though I was family. Ashdown House is hidden gem and I will most certainly return should I be in the area.
