I felt so at ease as a solo traveler at this small hotel that's located conveniently walking distance from The Zone at Rosebank. This is especially convenient since the Johannesburg on and off tourist bus leaves from there. I stayed for 3 nights before a safari in Zimbabwe and Botswana. The hotel conveniently arranged pick up at the airport as well as transfer back for my international flight.
