ONOMO Hotel Johannesburg Sandton
Rooms are small, but you really can’t be this location. About 400 feet from the Nelson Mandela Square where there’s a great mall with a lot of adoption. Also 800 feet from the train station gets you to and from the airport. It’s really convenient and safe Neighborhood to stay in to explore Johannesburg. ...
