Black Rose Guesthouse

Black Rose Guesthouse is a guest house in Protea Glen Extension 39, Soweto, holding a 4.6 rating on Google from 51 reviews. It is the flagship property of a small three-guesthouse group — alongside Black Rose Classic in Protea Glen Extension 24 and Black Rose Northam in Limpopo — that markets itself under the line "three properties, one standard of hospitality." On its own website, the operator describes its approach to hosting in plain terms: "We didn't start a business. We opened our home," adding that "every guest who walks through our door deserves to feel like family."

Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and Luxury Family Rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, a smart TV and free WiFi; the Protea Glen flagship also has a kitchenette, secure on-site parking and a braai (barbecue) area, and check-in is available around the clock. The property's own marketing places it roughly 16km from Vilakazi Street, Soweto's best-known heritage street and home to the Mandela House Museum.
