Modern Rooms with Rain Showers
The rooms at Bannister Hotel are modern and come with a TV offering satellite channels, electric blinds, and double-glazed windows. Bathrooms feature a rain shower and free toiletries. Some rooms have a basin in the room itself due to space constraints. Note that there are no phones in the rooms, and air conditioning is not available - only weak fans or open windows.
On-Site Restaurant and Bar
The hotel's restaurant serves Pan African fare, and the bar offers an extensive drink selection. Breakfast is included in the room rate, but options are limited (about 5 choices). The bar can get loud on weekends, with music lasting past 3 AM. Coffee and special diet menus are available upon request.
Entertainment and Activities
Guests can join bike tours, walking tours, or evening entertainment such as live sport events, happy hour, and a nightclub/DJ. The hotel also hosts local culture tours. These activities are popular but contribute to noise that may disturb sleep.
Central Braamfontein Location
Bannister Hotel is in Braamfontein, less than 1 km from Gautrain Park Station, Joburg Theatre, and Johannesburg's CBD. Across the road is Neighbourgood's Market (open Saturdays). Wits University is within walking distance. The area has many restaurants, bars, and shops, but also high noise levels from surrounding nightlife.
Services for Business and Travel
The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, airport shuttle (surcharge), and a conference room for up to 80 people. Free WiFi and secure underground parking are included. Other services: laundry, dry cleaning, currency exchange, tour desk, safety deposit boxes, and luggage storage.
“Bannister Hotel strikes a confident note in Braamfontein; it's clear the management prioritizes cleanliness and fair pricing, especially with breakfast included. The atmosphere down at the bar feels genuinely lively and safe, a sentiment echoed by the attentive staff, who seemed eager to accommodate every request during my exploration.”
