Mooi hotel, leuke hippe wijk, onvriendelijke staff
Hotel is heel mooi en trendy, kamers waren alleen niet heel schoon. Personeel achter de receptie was ronduit onvriendelijk en dat maakt toch een hoop uit! Leuk wijkje met op zondag fantastische marked on main.

Place is aesthetically pleasing, very artsy and hipster like. Area is surrounded by bars pubs restaurants public and private transportation services are 1 min walk or at the click of cellphone. Checking in and out is pretty simple and easy, property owner is available through cellphone. Only problem I had was the WiFi didn’t want to connect, had no iron and no microwave to warm up a meal but they have a stove. Also place is not spotless clean but also no dirty somewhere in the middle. Booking Price is attractive but you pay for what you get. I would definitely stay here again though as I was happy with my stay.

Had a good time, the noise might not be worth it.
I had a really good time at the hotel. It was really beautiful and clean and the cleaning staff was especially really helpful. The lift however was not working and you can imagine walking up and down seven flights of stairs everytime you needed something or had to fetch someone. Another thing was the noise on the 7th floor, I was woken up at 2AM in the morning because of people laughing, fighting and shouting in the corridors. I was only able to sleep at 4AM.

Mycket prisvärt hotell. Stora fina rum. Bodde på 7 våningen med utsikt över staden. Blev förvånad att det var såpass bra med tanke på det låga priset. Ligger dessutom rakt på Mabongengs nattklubbs och restaurang stråk så man har allt utanför dörren. Det enda dåliga var att receptionen inte var bemannad och det tog över en timme att få tag på någon som kunde hjälpa oss checka in.

bei meiner ankunft hatte das hotel weder strom noch fliessend wasser. somit ging auch der lift nicht und das düster dunkle treppenhaus präsentierte sich in dunkelstem schwarz. das hiess für mich, 2x ab in den 7ten stock, im dunkeln und zwar zu fuss mit 23 kilo gepäck und weiteren 19 kilo zusatzgepäck (sportequipment). hilfe durchs hotelpersonal gab es keine, auch nicht auf anfrage. nicht mal taschenlampenbegleitung war drin. warum auch.... der staff bevorzugte, lieber draussen eine tüte durchzuziehn und sich unter seinesgleichen der verantwortung zu entziehn. das zimmer war dann zwar grossräumig, stylish im art deco und shabby chic stil gehalten und das bett angenehm hart. allerdings war der staubsauger wohl nur dafür gedacht, die am häufigsten genutzten flächen zu säubern. während meines drei tägigen aufenthaltes wurde weder das bett mal gemacht noch das eine und zugleich einzige frottiertuch je gewechselt. wäre ja alles noch irgendwie ok gewesen.... nur dass mein zimmer weder vorhänge noch fensterläden hatte... wh..th.. fu... bei sonnenaufgang, das heisst etwas nach 5 uhr morgens, fing die sonne an mich im bett zu grillen. nicht nur die helligkeit liess mich nicht mehr schlafen, sondern vorallem die astronomische hitze. fazit: stay away from maboneng und dem 12 decades. maboneng ist schlimmstens overrated... ein trauriger versuch jo burg für junge und junggebliebene touris schön zu reden. jo burg bietet definitiv was, nur gehört maboneng definitiv nicht dazu!

Nice stay but not really a hotel.
The hotel was very trendy, with lots of artwork, but it was more like an apartment building with self-contained apartments than a hotel. The area is really cool, but only in the very local vicinity, otherwise, it's not very safe. The room was perfectly fine.

Clean Hotel in a vibrant part of town!
Had a good stay. I would suggest that you arrive during the day (like before 8/9pm) as the front desk staff gets sparse around that time. The room was clean when I arrived. Everyone was really nice. The area really makes this place. Maboneg is an amazing piece of Joburg.

Awful
The service is inexistent. The bed was dirty as were the towels. The area is very noisy at night and I didn't feel safe at all (although people say it is a safe region). I couldn't sleep well. The area and the hotel are aimed to a very specific kind of guest (young artistic people). It was a horrible first impression of Joburg. You should avoid it if with you go with your children.

Hipster Loft Hotel in Trendy Maboneng
12 Decades is an artsy boutique hotel for hipsters not afraid of neighborhoods that are converting from commercial/industrial zoning to residential spaces. There are a number of trendy shops, art galleries, an independent cinema and foodie haunts within walking distance of the hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating and will help organize transportation or places to stock up on goodies for the in-room fridge. Those who enjoy self-catering options will enjoy a stay at this hotel.

Not given what was advertised.
When I arrived at 10pm, no front desk staff was available to: 1. Sell me any Internet vouchers (the only way to get online at the hotel). 2. Correct my reservation when i discovered i was given the wrong room, a lesser room than what I paid for. 3. Fix my air conditioner when I discovered that it was not working. Despite trying multiple solutions, including contacting Expedia staff, I was not given any option but to desperately try to sleep in tiny, strangely furnished, over heated room without any way to get online to check in for my 32 hour long international flight that was scheduled for the next morning. The next morning, I mentioned this to the hotel's GM and was basically offered no reparations or viable solution. Overall, the entire experience was very unsatisfactory. I will not be staying here again. Neither will my friends who also had an unsatisfactory experience in their rooms as well. This hotel used to have it together but things are slipping. People should take their business elsewhere.

Hip and Happening Hotel in Jozie
Having stayed at the 12 Legends Hotel a few times in the past month I can honestly say that it feels like home to me. From the first time we visited and Sydney spent the time to show us every unique room and even the fabulous rooftop view, to my first stay a few weeks ago to my last visit yesterday, I really can't say enough great things about how fabulous the decor and artwork are, how comfortable and spacious the room is, how the hot water is plentiful and HOT (my first great shower in 6 weeks), the beds are comfy but the crowning jewel and charm of the Twelve Legends are their smiling and warm staff - Lebo, Sydney and the others made me feel like a long lost friend and welcomed me and my traveling companion, Buzzie (my rolling bee suitcase) with a warm embrace that truly was the African experience!

Excellent and safe location
We stayed for 2 nights and were very impressed with the art design of the room and corridors. My first time in Johannesburg and I was concerned about safety. The location, in the art district, was well patrolled by security staff and had many interesting cafes and restaurants as well as a cinema and small theatre down stairs. We attended at stand up comedy night and a film. Most pleased and would stay there again if we visit Jo-burg again.

A nice concept, poorly executed.
The concept was a great idea, however it proved to be the opposite. The hotel is actually inside an apartment building, in the middle of Maboneng which is a nice redevelopment isolated from the rest of the city on an "island" with terrible neighbourhoods on all sides. The Bed faced giant windows, and there was NO air conditioning on the 7th floor on a steamy Johannesburg summer weekend. Needless to say, the room was smoldering and opening the windows was ineffective. On top of this, once the sun went down the bugs came out. No AC and no screens on the window meant we had to douse ourselves in Deet prior to going to sleep, still awakening with mosquito bites. The third party employed security guards were rude, and questioned us on the way out in our car as to why we couldn't tap our security card to leave the car park. On further discussion with the hotel reception, I Was told that there is a specific key for the people who live in the building and hotel guests do not have this. This was news to the security guards, who every time we left and came back would badger us about entry. On top of this, in attempt to have a flat tire fixed that had happened over night- the Security would not allow myself and a uniformed car rental employee into the car park to be able to assess the flat tire. The front desk staff were not able to help us with most of our questions or issues with security.

Not for everyone
For those who haven't visited Joburg, Maboneng is a small district that has been secured and restored (read: gentrified), but it's not the kind of place where you can wander off into the neighborhood for an evening stroll. Research different options to find what fits your needs best. If you know what you're doing and have a car or someone to drive you around, Maboneng is a good way to get a taste of the city. I would not recommend it to anyone traveling alone. And it's not really a "hotel," more like a group of apartments with poor staffing. The staff members are very sweet, but the desk is often empty with no way to contact anyone. We also got stuck in the elevator and were told the capacity is actually half of what is listed on the placard inside (it's a huge elevator). You pay for wifi at reception and get a paper voucher for 500 MB (paying by credit card doesn't work), and they ran out of vouchers during our stay. Housekeeping is inconsistent, some days nobody came by the rooms and other days the housekeeper had gone as far as organizing and moving around my clothes/shoes/toiletries, which frankly makes me really uncomfortable. All in all it was really weird, they could use more amenities/services but it's a cool place if that's the sort of thing you're looking for!

A quirky & fun hotel in center of the art scene
We traveled here to have a couple of days in Jo'burg before going to cape town. The hotel was awesome and has a ton of space a great mini-kitchen, and is in an awesome neighborhood. If you are here and there is some art scene stuff going on you couldn't be in a better spot. That being said the neighbor has seasons, and is completely dead around Christmas and New Years, as all the restaurants and bars shut down from Dec 20th-Jan 8th or so. This isn't the hotel's issue obviously, but it has a big impact on the neighborhood score, so just know the season you are visiting. If everything is shut down taxi's are expensive and you will need them to get out to other places. Saying all that we found about 3 places still running and had drinks and dinner with locals outside a local BBQ place and ended up hanging out drinking wine for hours and having a lovely time getting to know some 'starving' artists. The hotel is really fun and quirky and we were very happy with it.

Unique location clean hotel
Loads of character, large clean rooms. Room was a bit noisy until nearby venues closed but if you're staying here its likely to be to absorb the character of the surrounding area so unlikely to be an issue.
