The Vantage Serviced Apartments Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to The Vantage Serviced Apartments on Tyrwhitt Avenue, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The building has this modern, sort of understated look that doesn’t scream luxury, but once you’re inside, you realize that’s actually the point. This four-star property is all about substance over flash, which I mean, is exactly what you want when you’re staying somewhere for more than just a night or two.

The location in Johannesburg is honestly one of those spots that grows on you. You’re not right in the thick of Sandton’s chaos, but you’re close enough that getting to the business district or the shopping centers doesn’t become this whole production. I found myself walking to nearby cafes more often than I expected – there’s something about Tyrwhitt Avenue that feels more residential and relaxed compared to the main drags. The apartments themselves are spacious in a way that actually matters. You know how hotel rooms can feel cramped after day three? That’s not an issue here. Each unit comes with a proper kitchenette, and I’m talking about one you’d actually use, not just some sad little coffee station. The living areas have enough room to spread out your work stuff without feeling like you’re camping on the bed.

What really impressed me was how quiet it stays, even during the week when business travelers are coming and going. The soundproofing is solid – something you don’t always get right in serviced apartments. Parking was straightforward too, which if you’ve ever tried to navigate parking in Joburg, you’ll appreciate that small miracle. The staff runs things efficiently without being overly formal about it, and honestly, after dealing with some of the stuffier hotels in the area, that laid-back professionalism was refreshing. The 7.7 rating makes sense when you experience it firsthand – it’s not trying to be the flashiest place in town, but everything works the way it should, the WiFi doesn’t cut out during video calls, and you can actually get a decent night’s sleep. For longer stays especially, or if you’re the type who values having your own space to decompress after long days in the city, this place delivers without all the unnecessary bells and whistles.

Early Johannesburg trip booking requires advance planning during peak seasons when visitors flock to enjoy the city’s museums, world-class wine tours, and authentic South African cultural experiences.

  • Wonderful – Yara from Portugal – September 8, 2025 (9/10)

  • Disappointing – Cristini from South Africa – August 8, 2025 (4/10)

    Good location, nice building, spacious apartment.

    What could be improved: Furnishings and fittings were generally broken, worn or damaged. Light bulbs broken, cracked doors, worn paint, broken chairs. The apartment is not maintained but well cleaned.
    No soap or shower gel, limited kitchen utensils (no openers).

  • Good – Desmond from South Africa – August 2, 2025 (7/10)

  • Everything was pleasant, however, the host/agency will need to pay close attention to maintenance. – Anonymous from South Africa – July 17, 2025 (6/10)

    The location is amazing and check in was seamless.

    What could be improved: The apartment seems to receive little to no maintenance. The cleanliness is questionable as bedding had lipstick marks, pillows weren’t crispy clean and curtains were falling off the rails. It gives an impression that even after housekeeping, there are no inspections made before the next check in.

  • Exceptional – Thabang from South Africa – July 8, 2025 (10/10)

  • Wonderful – Javad from Germany – June 22, 2025 (9/10)
