    I travelled to JHB for business every two weeks last year and stayed at Hotel Perte every time. I will be doing the same again every two weeks this year. The hotel is very conveniently located to my offices in Fourways, and as a woman travelling alone, it provides me with a location that is safe and within extremely easy walking distance to restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff always very friendly.
