Clico Boutique Hotel

Nice Boutique Hotel in a good location in Johannesburg. Close to a shopping mall. Only 20 min from the airport away. Very helpful service and very comfortable bed. It is in a protected area with privat parking. Excellent restaurant with great food.

I recently stayed at the Clico Hotel and dined solo at their newly remodeled restaurant, Sec after a 15 hour flight from the States. I was staying there for a few days so my son, who was studying under local artists in Zimbabwe, could meet up with me. Clico was a lovely small boutique hotel and I felt very at home and welcome there. I found solace in the most delicious "Hug in a Bowl" Salmon broth with caviar eggs at Sec. Chef Damian's 30-hour cooked broth was perfectly balanced—just salty enough and incredibly comforting. The caviar eggs were large, bursting with flavor, and added a luxurious touch to the meal. The warmth and friendliness of the staff, particularly Peggy and Henry, made my stay even more enjoyable. Peggy did not make me feel badly when I set the safe alarm off within in seconds of arriving. Henry went above and beyond protecting us by taking extra precautions to ensure my son and I safely got into our Uber. My room at the Clico Hotel was comfortable and spacious. The bed was cozy, and the bathroom was a nice size with instant hot water and good pressure from the shower head, as well as a tub for soaking. I particularly enjoyed working from the room with the balcony doors open and the sun streaming in. The location in Rosebank was within walking distance to the shopping center and Ubers were readily available. In the morning, I enjoyed a delightful breakfast by the real working fireplace, which was perfect for the chilly winter weather and I spent a glorious day lounging and reading by the pool while waiting for my son, making the most of the tranquil environment. The convenience of the airport shuttle was also a significant plus, easing my travel worries and adding to the overall comfort of my stay. My experience at the Clico Hotel and Sec was outstanding, combining excellent food, attentive service, and luxurious amenities to create a memorable visit. I highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a welcoming and indulgent stay.

Lovely small hotel with professional and helpful staff. Room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Bathroom and shower area was spacious but needed some upgrade. Breakfast was good with a choice of hot dishes cooked to order, and a selection of cold dishes. Didn't use the small pool area but pool was full of leaves from overhanging trees.

Whether you are visiting Johannesburg as an international traveller, on business or for sightseeing or stopover: Rosebank and adjacent suburbs are a must with the high concentration of the best restaurants, art galleries and tourist sites. The Clico is a gem of a boutique hotel: big enough to boast a conference room, small enough to have an intimate feel. Luxury and attention to detail abounds and every single member of staff, from the guard at the gate to the gardner, is involved and friendly. The manager, ms Peggy Selepe, is graceful and hands-on, the garden and pool an oasis in the middle of city bustle. The hotel is a central and convenient poit of departure for visits to adjacent art galleries like Everard Read and Circa on Jellico. While restaurants and attractions abound in Keyes Art Mile, you don't have to look any further. The Seco, Clico's Restaurant, offers a truly exceptional menu and we were astonished at the fantastic and reasonably priced winelist. Subisisiwe was our waiter and not a single thing went wrong. Clearly a professional chef in charge of the menu (interesting and rare dishes, but also catering for the not so adventurous - from beef cheeks, vegetarian Tom Yum Goong, Malay spiced chicken, to heavenly chocolate delight desert. They also have outside seating for summer days and nights with a wood fired pizza oven and super size interesting pizzas. The beds are first class comfort, the towels not only white but thick and soft - there is just not a single reason why you should not rush to book.

Everything was perfect from the moment they welcomed us until we checked out. My husband and I would like to commend Peggy and the security guard (sorry, I was not able to get his name) for being attentive, thoughtful and helpful. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay. We loved our room. Peggy ensured that our breakfast was packed because we had to leave very early on our last day.

Unfortunately stayed only one night. The hotel itself is a good reason to com to Johannesburg again. The food served at breakfast and lunch was delicious. On top of that the staff was so friendly and nice. I loved it!
