Ten Bompas Hotel

Hotel needs revamping, feels tired and old, in room facilities not great The TV is Positioned in a very odd place, so cant be seen from the lounge or bedroom

Ten Bompas advertises itself as a boutique-style hotel with a small number of suites. The reality is that the whole property is extremely dated and in need of maintenance/renovation, and the rooms are tired and aesthetically unpleasant. Furniture that looks like it comes from the 1970s, a bathroom with chipped paintwork and a cheap non-adjustable hand shower, and one of the windows next to the entrance door had no curtain, meaning it is impossible to make the room completely dark at night. The only positive comment I can make was that the cooked breakfast was of a good standard. To be charged more than US$250 a night for this quality of accommodation is simply a joke.

Can not say enough great things about Ten Bompas. I had given up on "Boutique Hotels." IMO, that had become code for Over Promise, Over Charge, Under Deliver, Under Whelm. NOT Ten Bompas. As the OG South African Boutique Hotel, it is the real deal. The entire staff is outstanding. Top to bottom. We arrived after travel in Namibia with a TON of laundry, which we would never have done had we known it was included. Bless the housekeeper - she got it done! She earned every Rand of her tip, thank you again! Every single person on the property exemplifies the true meaning of Hospitality. I will only shoutout GM Sean by name, as I don't want to start a list and leave someone out. Also, we loved the food. The Chicken was the best chicken I've had in South Africa! Top it all off, it is a Marriott Property. If you get a chance - stay!!! And, yes, the fireplace is wood burning - such a rare treat these days!

Ten Bompas has been delivering constant quality service since we have been guests, over 20 years now!! The staff is so genuinely caring and they look after you in the warmest way. The fire in the room was the highlight of our stay!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Ten Bompas. Sean and the team were beyond welcoming, the meals at the restaurant on site were delightful (and they brought out the space heater for me), and the room was spacious, comfortable, and actually felt like home (a rarity). I was there overnight in transit and needed to work the entire day (including virtual meetings) before my flight home the following night. The hotel extended me the courtesy of allowing me to remain in my room for the full day to work comfortably. Sean then provided me a tour of the hotel and the property including its conference spaces and the grounds, showed me another property owned by their group, and connected me with the owners for future travel. As a hotel geek and someone always searching for the rare gem of a true home-away-from-home feel, that was a really nice touch. I can’t wait to try that unique property as well. Thanks again to Sean and everyone at Ten Bompas.

A true sanctuary and oasis, centrally located with easy access to activities, events, memorials, museums, and the airport in the heart of Johannesburg. The facility is full of interesting architecture and features and our room was absolutely wonderful. What a treat to find a fully functional and high-quality steam room in our bathroom area! The facility has an inside, quiet and peaceful garden/pool area to relax and unwind after a day of touring or to get going in the morning with a peaceful start. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful at every step they clearly understand the meaning of service! The food and selection on the menu was wonderful with gems here and there from the hotels own private garden. We will absolutely be back and not thank Sean and his staff enough for the amazing visit!

Such a nice, small boutique hotel. Great for our family. Rooms are all suites; beds are SO comfy, and the bathrooms spotless and well-equipped. Security was evident and we felt safe at all times. Not a walkable location, but we took Uber and had no problems. Breakfast was delicious. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our introduction to Joburg and South Africa at Ten Bompas was great!

After missing our international flight from Johannesburg back to the states, our departure was delayed by 2 days. As a frequent Marriott guest, I found Ten Bompas on my Phone App. My husband and I were both exhausted from our three week stay in South Africa, and wanted nothing more than to get home. We were very pleasantly surprised when we checked in to our Suite (Room Two) with a Wood Burning fireplace. Our two day stay quickly turned into a pleasant stay as we spent time in the room, relaxing, with an awesome fire. The staff were excellent, went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. I would absolutely stay here again, and I would request Room Two!

Convenient location, great property and amazing staff to make you feel valued and accommodate any special wishes
