33 guests' feedbackFestina Lente is not merely a guest house, it's a feast for the senses.
We had a great stay and the breakfast was great! Elna goes out of her way to make it as pleasant as possible for her guests. We will definitely stay there again if the opportunity arises!
Hospitality, warmth and kindness! Elna makes one's heart beat warm with her good person! Great accommodation with the most beautiful detail around every corner!
I can't wait to return to the owner's piece of paradise in the city! What a privilege to be able to experience the beauty and tranquility of Festina Lente. Next time I aim for a whole week (or two!) in JHB, just to be able to stay here. Thank you very much, Elna!
Great accommodation and value for money.
The hostess Elna is amazing and her breakfasts from the books! Very stylish, neat and truly 5 star!
Neat, clean and friendly service.
We thoroughly enjoyed the stay! The room is beautiful and every detail has been given to make our stay very special. Elna made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was also delicious. We will definitely visit Festina Lente again.
The accommodation was absolutely top notch and the hospitality from the time we got there until we drove off was fantastic! Will definitely recommend the place and support them in the future!
Incredibly neat. Reception was very friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was very nice. Will definitely recommend the place to everyone.
Very neat and just like advertising. Very well located and easily accessible. Elna was friendly and immediately made us feel at home. The units have everything needed for the stay. Beautiful setting and garden. Thank you for delicious breakfast and hospitality.
It was my third stay at this exceptional B&B with its neat, interesting, well-kept and excellently equipped rooms, tasty (and pretty) breakfast and professional reception. Best of all, it succeeds the test: excellent coffee. The price per person may look high, but it is competitive for the environment and the quality - but please allow yourself that treat!
Fantastic. Tastefully and interestingly furnished, spacious rooms, good quality linen, best breakfast I have ever had at a guest house. Would definitely recommend. Very reasonable rate.
I had a very nice stay and was satisfied with the beautiful garden and rooms. Elna is also very friendly and I would recommend anyone to stay there.
See stars.
Our stay at Festina Lente is always a pleasant one. Words don't do justice to the service and the beauty of this Guest House. The host is amazing. She is friendly and very thoughtful. The units have everything you d need. From a hair dryer, bath soap, wash cloths, iron and ironing board. It is located at a quiet place and units are very private. If you are around Sandton and need a place to stay this is it. You will not regret your decision, and it is worth every cent. They also serve breakfast which is delivered to your unit at the time you requested.
Best comfort. Host very professional. Room setup amazingly done. Will sure go back again.
We will never stay anywhere else if we are in the Bryanston area.
Dit was ons tweede verblyf daar en ek sal beslis weer daar oorbly. Die diens is baie goed en die mense baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kamers is uniek en baie gemaklik. Die ontbyt word mooi voorberei en word na jou eenheid gebring, dus kan jy rustig in die tuin/eenheid eet.
Festina Lente gives a homely atmosphere and rest for your soul. They have excellent service and a delicious breakfast. I highly recommend it for any traveller.
Will definitely go back on our next visit to Jozi.
The units are very cold, but otherwise I can recommend it.
The Van Niekerks made me feel so at home! Festina Lente will see me again for sure when I have to go for training in Sandton. The decor is cozy and very tasteful. The breakfast was delicious and they paid a lot of attention to the fine detail which made me feel special.
I have stayed overnight in many places, but Festina Lente is by far the best.
We enjoyed our stay Festina Lente very much. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms, each with its own theme, was unusual. I will definitely be making use of this accommodation again.
Friendly manager, really awesome interior decor, clean rooms, great linen and great value. We will be back.
Was worth the effort.
I would recommend Festina Lente anytime. It is located in a peaceful environment and the units are neat, beautiful and artfully furnished. The host and hostess are pleasant people and they serve a lovely breakfast that wasn't just delicious, but also look yummy. Well done!
It was licks!
Ideally located and very peaceful in the hustle and bustle of the city. Festina Lente is the definition of value for money.
