An Oasis in Johannesburg
Pros:

The Peech is a stunning boutique hotel and is an oasis in Johannesburg. The warm and friendly staff, the excellent restaurants, the beautiful gardens and well appointed and comfortable rooms make for a great stay. The attention to detail in the design of the rooms and property overall, and the relaxed, calm and peaceful atmosphere all combine to deliver a perfect home away from home.

Well maintained hotel
Pros:

Well maintained, gardens are beautiful and well cared for. Hotel was in good shape, our room was clean, but seemed dark. The pools were OK. Food was OK , including both breakfast and dinner. For the money not a great value.

Beautiful Gardens & Stay in Johannesburg
Pros:

We could have stayed in our beautiful room and deck made private by extensive surrounding gardens all day except for so much to see in Johannesburg. The smell of the star jasmine was wonderful as we walked the paths to the dining room for breakfast. Attentive and friendly staff. We didn’t realize the associated restaurant “The Pot Luck Club” would be such a great experience and wish we’d discovered it prior to the last night of our stay.

Excellent hotel in Johannesburg in a safe and nice suburb
Pros:

We had av very enjoyable stay at The Peech. The hotel is very modern with excellent staff. Great food both for breakfast and lunch. Did not try dinner unfortunately. Perfect place for a few days stay in Johannesburg before flying up to Kruger.

Great hotel - cannot wait to return
Pros:

I had a superb stay at The Peech. I need somewhere to do a few days of remote work in Joburg, and as a base to see old university friends. The room was lovely, with double aspect doors you could leave open to enjoy the trees and weather, and had a comfortable desk and strong and stable WiFi. There are two restaurants; one only for hotel guests, which is relaxed and charming, and the other being the Pot Luck Club, which is a fancier affair. Both serve excellent food. The hotel gives you vouchers for the large gym next door which is very helpful. The location is excellent, and you can uber to Rosebank etc very quickly.

Lovely and Welcoming Johannesburg Oasis
Pros:

The Peech Hotel was the perfect place to base our two days in Johannesburg and the start of our South Africa trip! We were so relieved to arrive after a long-haul flight, be welcomed with a splash of sherry and led to our lovely room. The amenities were spot-on, the water pressure was great in the shower, and when we woke up the next morning and pulled back the shades, the huge windows let in the sun and views of the green garden. It was nice to be a bit removed from the density of the city without sacrificing much, if any, of the proximity. Getting an Uber was easy (Apartheid Museum, the shops/lunch at 44 Stanley and walking tour of Soweto highly recommended). Every staff member we met was excellent: warm, professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

MUST STAY
Pros:

The Peech Hotel was meant to be a pit stop before continuing on our African Safari and it completely blew away our expectations. From the second you walk in, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Peter the security guard was awesome and walked us from the hotel to the gym entrance which is next door. The grounds are cozy and intentional, the rooms are beautiful , every detail is thought out. The food at the hotel is DELICIOUS, and our server Gabriel was spectacular. If you are going to Joburg, the Peech is a MUST.

Relaxing boutique gem
Pros:

A relaxing, lovely boutique hotel in a safe J'burg neighbourhood. Rooms are massive, bed super comfy. Two very small outdoor pools were extremely cold. Service friendly and diligent, despite two mornings in a row not getting requested mornings wake up calls. Breakfast best we had out of all South Africa hotels, including the much lauded Cape Town Mount Nelson

Stay somewhere else, coldly impersonal. Noisy metal stairs to most rooms. Decor had nothing to do with Africa.
Pros:

I would never recommend anyone stay here. No attractions within walking distance, cold impersonal decor and furniture. Expensive restaurant and drinks. The topper was I had a mass of tiny bug bites on my arm and a tour guide thinks it was bed bugs. 🤮

What a Peach
Pros:

From the moment we arrived, to the minute we left, we were treated like honoured guests. The wonderful staff really could not have done more to make us feel welcome.

In addition to the exceptional service, we had the most wonderful meals. The food quality was excellent, the presentation beautiful and the flavours sublime.

The grounds are delightful and beautifully maintained. The rooms are fabulous, and due to the excellent design, despite the heat, we didn't need to put the aircon on once.

I only wish I could have stayed longer and very much hope to return one day.
