The tour of the Ponte building was fantastic. It offers some of the best views of Joburg and the history of this iconic building is interesting to hear. Offers some great photo opps and a is fun trip for anyone interested in getting to know a different side of Joburg. The tour was well orchestrated and our tour guide - Gilbert - was great. Although the surrounding area can seem intimidating to some I didnt feel unsafe once.

Not so fancy as it used to be but its still great to find yourself in there. Very very very strict security rules, such a bummer

Beautiful view

Hui, they are trying hard, surroundings are challenging, building actually looking good, well maintained, great views

Land-mark in Jozi.Looks amazing at night from a distance.Heard it has amazing Penthouse apartments.

Lovely building with lovely views once ure on the top floor. Offers great views of Joburg CBD. Considered to be the highest building in Africa. Offers tours of Hillbrow and Yeoville. Also tours inside the Ponte City for a little amount of money with the aim is of challenging perceptions

Great view of JHB CBD.

Dlala nje is a great initiative by young beautiful souls

I know where ever you are you remember me coz you always dreamt of this place and I took you there and we were very happy eish mara neh Elizabeth. But be careful when you are around the place goya boma Yoeville

Amazing views. Great security. Insightful guides.

Dlala Nje organize a run up the ponte city, its a remarkable building and will be of interest to anyone interested in Johannesburg city. Organizers are helpful and friendly, its a fun event.

Got knifed 100 times when i toke a step into this buliding

Great place to stay...gives beautiful view of joburg at night. Would recommend to friends and family..

The apartments are beautiful inside how ever this place is not safe.I was mugged inside the building as I entered the entrance. There are always men standing around the entrance area drinking alcohol and playing loud music all night long. I moved out of this building because of that.Also we only had one elevator working for almost a year which made living there hell.Its a shame for such a beautiful building to be clouded by crime and unruly people.

Needs more intertainment

The place is clean and safe. People are friendly and kind to each other. The rooms are large enough to accommodate a family of 6 (maximum).

Nice and clean building for residents... Id recommend it to friends and family

The building is really in a shoddy state and has seen better days! I went on a tour and we abseiled down the middle. It was an amazing experience! The building is solid and looks like it has a good couple of years left in it, but it needs some serious maintenance and attention. The area feels incredibly dangerous and the inhabitants all look incredibly dodgy and potentially dangerous. I would seriously caution any tourists from visiting the area or the building without an experienced tour guide. The building is still a real piece of Johannesburg history and is a must visit.

Rich history. Great ambience. Awesome views inside and out. I love Ponte.

One of the well known sky scrapers (vodacom towers) in the city of Johannesburg, Located in hillbrow. Dont be deceived by the building (its clean and nice though) , this is a high risk crime area as you go along the hillbrow side. Plenty of robberies happen this side. So beware

Good clean apartment accommodation and have a nice view of Johannesburg near Elis Park stadium

Rich History, A good learning experience ; good insight on what social enterprise can do to transform lives

The history behind this architectural gem can be found out through a booked tour with the Dwala Nje organisation.I learnt more about this building and the three areas of Yeoville, Berea and Hillbrow than any textbook or history class ever taught me. You wont regret it.The tour starts out at 5101, a part of the Ponte building that was once an apartment but is now a bar and event space for hire. Top brands have used this space, and rightly so, for its private enough to host a high-profile function and pretty too, in that it has breathtaking views that showcase the Hillbrow Tower in the distance with the rest of Johannesburg at her feet.The building today, after many years of a push-pull-mine-yours meander of ownership has apartments available for rental only.Im basing my 5 star review on the history behind the building and how it still contends with the forces and succeeds, as well as the tour I was on where I learnt such a lot. This was such a momentous occasion to be inside this building as I grew up in and around the area of Yeoville with Ponte as my backdrop.The building has wheelchair accessible lifts but Im not too sure if there are generators in place should Johannesburg be struck with one of Eskoms famous load-shedding moments so if there were no electricity here it may pose a problem for someone with a physical disability to get in and out, but other than that it really is a place of awe and magnificence.

Love the view from the top of the Ponte city...it just too good beautiful!!

Ponte City is one of the tallest accomodation buildings in south africa, the flat looks very beautiful and attractive when you are still far away from it, but when you get closer its a bit bad. The environment us nice since it is outside of hillbrow at Berea and there is no much crime.

Secure place to stay with family, very safe for kidz and varsity students... Affordable as well

Clean flat nd Good security

Its a nice lovely building I wonder how did they rich the top hmmm technology👏👏

An amazing piece of Johannesburg history and a fantastic example of brutalist architecture-in it’s own right. As a first time visitor to South Africa I asked our guide to show us the building. He arranged the tour through Dalala Nje and we met Gil who took us through right from the top 51st floor down to the notorious base of the inside core. In a way it’s the history of Joburg in one building.

Old and over populated

Loved our tour with Dlala Nje!

This place is so amazing how the building look like

Affordable prices but the surrounding is not safe and clean

Nice and quiet for those who dont like noise like me

A visit is highly recommended. The tower is a piece of history from Johannesburg. Very interesting for tourists. Down in the tower, its a bit scary, considering the tragedies that have taken place here.

It looks like a very nice apartment, I dont know if I can go in and visit.

A fabulous experience, thanks to Dlala websites!
