I arrived very early in the morning - before published check-in time, but had been booked into the Radisson Blu, Sandton, as opposed to Gautrain. As my colleague was also staying at the Gautrain; it seemed pretty pointless going to the other hotel. I was a bit disappointed that I had to pick up my luggage to make the trip... More

The hotel is conveniently located opposite the Gautrain station, as the name suggests, making it easy to reach from O.R Tambo International airport. Sandton City mall is a short walk away offering a wide variety of shops and restaurants. The hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service within a 3km radius. If you do not feel for walking you can simply... More

My first trip to South Africa so having read numerous warnings about security I hoped this hotel would be at least safe.

I'm currently attending week long course at the conference centre. The food is good and staff friendly. Fast internet advertisement could however not be futher from the truth. A great deal of the course work requires an internet connection and all attendees find this extremely furstrating.

Great stay. Fantastic amenities. We were here for our honeymoon and were welcomed to a room with rose petals strewn about in the shape of hearts around the room. and a cute petit fours spread.

I stayed with my wife for one week in this hotel. I booked a room with a kingsize bed, but was given a small room with two beds put together. The bed was not comfortable.

My third hotel in as many weeks in Sandton, and by far the best. Free fast wifi Internet access made business easy. Very comfortable room, efficient staff, good breakfast and perfectly located across the road from the Gautrain station. This will definitely be my first choice when I return to Jo'burg.
