One of the few full-service hotels in downtown Jo'burg, the Reef offers comfortable, almost luxurious rooms at very affordable prices. Located on a safe, relatively quiet street, the Reef is a high-rise hotel and the upper floors offer stunning views of the inner city. The hotel has two restaurants and a stylish (albeit noisy) rooftop bar.
