Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Wanderers
"Very compact room. Meals and beverages of poor quality. Good location. Reception area plays constant background music so meetings are really impossible to conduct and if your room is close to the area (ours was) background noise is annoying. Good parking and lovely grounds."
