    Calm, comfortable and beautiful boutique hotel close to business district

    Restaurant kitchen closes at 20:30! But they did manage to rustle me up some pasta after that.

    Huge bed and bedroom, really calm vibe despite. being so close to Rosebank amenities and offices. Excellent restaurant menu

    Excellent small boutique hotel that is like an oasis in the middle of a big city. The rooms are big and comfortable with views over a lush garden and pool. The restaurant has high quality food and wine and the staff are fabulous. It has good car parking and great security. We have stayed there twice and have just booked again for our third and last night in South Africa. Couldn’t recommend it more highly.

    We loved this little boutique hotel - it way exceeded our expectations. Fantastic value - situated in what seems to be a fairly upmarket and safe (during the day) area - we walked to the large shopping mall nearby. Gardens and pool area were well maintained and very relaxing. Staff were lovely and very helpful (especially the security guard I'm sorry I don't know his name ! ). Breakfast was a simple buffet of fruit, yoghurt, cereal, some pasties & muffins, cheese etc then hot food cooked to order. We ate at the restaurant both nights and enjoyed all our meals there. Highly recommend this hotel.

    I am so fussy there is always something I don’t like but for the first time in years of travelling there is nothing I didn’t like about this property!

    This is probably the most outstanding Boutique property I have stayed at anywhere in the world! It is super clean. The staff are amazing. The food and breakfast are 10 star and it’s in a great walkable safer neighbourhood. I’m in Africa for two weeks and to be honest I would’ve been happy to spend my whole time tucked away in this oasis.

    Great restaurant for dinner and breakfast; at breakfast we had green shakshuka and delicious hummus toastie -- way better than your average eggs & bacon. We arrived later in the evening and the gate attendant greeted our uber with our name -- he was expecting us! The staff were very accommodating of our schedule.

    I've used Clico several times and like almost everything about it. There are a few minor points I've mentioned over the years that have not been addressed but not enough to NOT come back. Location, security, staff, grounds, restaurant are amazing. Room 1 & Room ?? (ground floor on right) need attention: Safes need to be attached to the wall for tru security. The latter room was very damp and it's a bit odd not having a bathroom door. Staff are well trained and charming. Security for parking is good. Food outstanding. Pool wasn't crystal clear or scooped but it was the rainy season.

    Some parts look a bit old / out-dated and could do with some TLC, but that’s if I’m being picky!

    The staff was extremely welcoming. The room was lovely, well decorated. The pool is very nice, yet it was a bit cold (March) but that’s okay. The restaurant serves delicious food for lunch and dinner and the breakfast was nice.
