Franklin Luxury Apartment

Franklin Luxury Apartment Overview

You know what struck me first about Franklin Luxury Apartment? Walking up to this place on Pritchard Street, I wasn’t expecting much – honestly, the street itself looks a bit rough around the edges. But step inside and it’s like entering a completely different world. This four-star spot really surprised me, and I mean that in the best way possible.

The thing about staying here is that you’re right in the thick of Johannesburg’s downtown energy, which can be intense but also pretty incredible if you embrace it. I actually loved being able to walk to the Carlton Centre (well, what’s left of it) and really get a feel for the city’s complex history. The apartment itself feels genuinely luxurious – not in that sterile hotel chain way, but more like crashing at a wealthy friend’s place who has impeccable taste. The kitchen is fully kitted out, which saved me a fortune on eating out every meal, and the living spaces are spacious enough that I didn’t feel cramped even after a week. The Wi-Fi is solid too, which matters if you’re trying to work remotely like I was.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before booking: the area gets pretty quiet after business hours, so don’t expect a buzzing nightlife scene right outside your door. But honestly? That worked for me – after exploring the chaos of the city all day, coming back to this peaceful bubble was perfect. The security is tight (which you’ll appreciate in this part of Jo’burg), and the staff actually knows the neighborhood well enough to give you proper directions, not just tourist trap recommendations. Parking was easier than I expected, though I’d still recommend using ride-shares at night if you’re not familiar with the area. The value here is really solid – you’re getting apartment-style space and amenities at what you’d normally pay for a cramped hotel room in other major cities. Just don’t expect resort-style service; this is more about giving you a comfortable, well-appointed base to explore from.

• The space was spacious, peaceful, and well equipped, with great soundproofing – Onicah from South Africa – November 24, 2024 (9/10)

  I had an amazing experience! The space was incredibly spacious, quiet, and peaceful, making it the perfect environment to unwind or focus. The user-friendly activities and facilities added so much value to my visit. The sound bar was impressive, delivering high-quality audio, and the soundproofing was top-notch, ensuring a completely undisturbed atmosphere. Overall, everything was thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience—I can’t recommend it enough!
  
  What could be improved: While I had an overall positive experience, there were a few things I didn’t like. The lack of an air conditioner made the space uncomfortable at times, especially now, as it is summer. The dishcloths need an upgrade when wiping, they tended to leave residue on the cups and plates, which was frustrating. These small changes would make the experience even better.

• Urban Life – Bradford from South Africa – April 4, 2024 (8/10)

  It's conveniently located for business needs in the Cbd banking area or if you want venture further North to Sandton. The apartment is well equipped with everything you need for a 1 day stay or week stay. And obviously beautiful city views!
  
  What could be improved: I was disappointed to find no streaming services offered in the apartment anymore due to Netflix clampdown on password sharing. I couldn't use my own account either as Netflix doesn't recognize it as my home. So evenings were not a thrill with Tv 1,2 or 3.
