@Derricks Luxury Apartments Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to @Derricks Luxury Apartments on Fox Street, you immediately notice this isn’t your typical hotel setup. It’s actually an apartment-style property that feels more like staying in a well-appointed urban residence than a standard accommodation. The building has this solid, reassuring presence in the heart of Johannesburg — and honestly, that matters when you’re getting your bearings in a new city.
The Space
Each apartment here is genuinely spacious, which is refreshing after so many cramped hotel rooms elsewhere. You get a proper living area that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, and the kitchen is actually functional — I mean, you could cook a real meal if you wanted to. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between comfortable and stylish without trying too hard. What really impressed me was the attention to detail in the setup; everything you’d actually need is there, from decent cookware to reliable Wi-Fi.
Location & Getting Around
Fox Street puts you right in the thick of things, but in a good way. You’re close enough to the business district that you won’t spend half your day in traffic, yet the area has its own character. The parking situation is honestly a game-changer here — having secure, private parking on-site means you don’t have to worry about your car, which is huge in Johannesburg. I’ve stayed at places where parking was this whole complicated ordeal, so having it sorted from day one just makes everything smoother.
The Experience
This four-star property really gets the apartment-hotel concept right. The service feels personal without being intrusive — they’re there when you need them but don’t hover. What struck me most was how the place caters to different types of stays. Whether you’re here for business (the setup works perfectly for longer stays) or exploring the city as a couple, the space adapts well. The couples who frequent this place clearly appreciate having room to spread out and the option to grab breakfast at the local café down the street rather than being tied to a hotel restaurant.
Why Guests Love It
You know what really sets this place apart? It’s the combination of independence and security that’s hard to find elsewhere in the city. You get the freedom of having your own space — proper counter space, a comfortable couch, the ability to come and go as you please — but with the peace of mind that comes from a well-managed property. The fact that couples consistently rate it highly tells you something about the atmosphere; it’s got that relaxed, residential feel that makes it easy to settle in, even if you’re only staying a few nights. Plus, being able to park safely and walk to nearby spots without the usual urban anxiety makes the whole Johannesburg experience much more enjoyable.
To visit Johannesburg during the vibrant spring season from September to November, travelers should plan ahead as this cosmopolitan city attracts millions of visitors seeking authentic South African experiences and world-class cultural attractions.

Exceptional – Andiso from South Africa – May 24, 2025 (10/10)
Apartment was clean and spacious
Super – Nghaamwa from Namibia – May 19, 2025 (10/10)
i love everything about the apartment. it is very clean, the host and the whole team have amazing customer service.
What could be improved: at our floor 6 there was no wifi, so i have to always go down to the groung floor in order for me to make a phone call. i was very much disappointed about this otherwise i recommend this accomodation and i will surely go back.Wonderful view, luxury settings of apartment, great attention to details! – Oleg from Tanzania – January 21, 2025 (10/10)
We returned to this penthouse. This is my favorite place to stay in Joburg
Good to catch up with your sleep – Rita from Portugal – January 7, 2025 (7/10)
We loved the fact it was super clean and comfortable the wifi worked well as well. It was very convenient the earlier check in and the staff was very helpful.
What could be improved: The elevator wasn't working which is a bumper especially when the accommodation is on a 6th floor with extra 2. We took this stay to catch up with our sleep. The neighborhood wasn't safe either and it was very far from the city center. Tv and netflix not working- we couldn't even log in with our own.Exceptional – Lesedi from South Africa – January 5, 2025 (10/10)
