12 Decades Art Hotel

Nice location for party lover's

Besides the WiFi and TV not working,the place is epic. Situated in a "vibey" neighborhood. The place is THE place to be! I had a great time. It was so hard to leave

It exceeded our expectations, from the first day we stepped in. The staff were welcoming and informative about everything we needed to know. How the room was, was perfect and we will come back soon ❤️

We booked and payed for three nights, but we run out after one night. The place is dirty, dusty walls, uncovered electric wires (my son got a slight electric shock), bed sheets covered with stains.. not even close to the pictures they are publish. The place is in a busy street, on the positive side it is hectic and full of energy but very noisy.

There are so many positives to 12 Decades Art Hotel. The hotel itself is really cool, and has a trendy loft type feel to it. I loved the room I was staying in. It was bright, spacious and comfortable. The bed was fantastic especially after a long long flight. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and responsive on Whatsapp for whatever you needed. The neighbourhood is really upbeat. There are great places to eat steps away, and a convenience store across the street for water and snacks. There is also a club across the street if you are into that kind of thing. Some of the improvements I would recommend are some that are already in the works. The first is the front door situation. They didn't have key cards for hotel guests and were waiting on replacements from the company. However this meant that you couldn't get in - or out - of the hotel unless someone was at the front desk. There were a few instances where we were stuck for a bit waiting for someone to come back. The other issue is that the building doesn't have a generator for loadshedding. I really appreciated the flashlight they provided but if you are staying on the upper floors you have to time getting up to your room before loadshedding occurs or expect to climb 5 flights (or 7 flights for my friend) - this also limited when we felt we could leave the rooms as well. Other improvements would be that they only have the 3 prong outlets here. I don't know if this is a Johannesburg thing or not but the rest of the country has both 2 and 3 prong outlets. All the travel adapters we brought only had 2 prong so we couldn't charge our phones. Also the lamps in my room were also 2 prong so you can't plug in the lamps they have either. There was never a light in the bathroom so it was dark the whole time. I also had no problem with this myself as I am a heavy sleeper, but if you need a quiet room this place isn't going to work as the club across the street plays music late at night.

I was very disappointed in this hotel. I had multiple things stolen from my room - portable chargers, adapters, a pair of nice pants, really any item that has quick and easy re-sale value. This was an inside job, when I confronted the staff member about what occurred he literally ran away from me. The security downstairs has no coordination or interest in the hotel. There's sort of a chilled out yet disengaged vibe, and the fact that someone was able to access my room and steal multiple items is very disturbing. Also the photos and everything about the place that is advertised is misleading and the owner quite frankly (of Curiocity) couldn't care less.
