A good clean hotel , with a great little shopping centre next door. Security could be an issue with an attempted break in to our room, but the hotel had a lot of security.

Very clean, very nice rooms. All the staff are friendly and helpful. Great breakfast selection and service (ate far too much at breakfast!). A few minutes walk to Sandton City and also close to the Gautrain station. I would definitely stay here again.

I'm not a great fan normally of big chain hotels because of the lack of personality and character but the Holiday Inn Sandton - Rivonia Road made me revise my opinion.
