I often stay at the Sandton Sun whilst on business and enjoy being able to walk to Nelson Mandela Square, Michael Angelo Towers and Sandton City to enjoy dinner at one of many top restuarants in Johannesburg. Being frequent guests comes with many perks including the very quick check in and being well received by everyone at the hotel. The... More

Very goo d standards in all departments, good restaurants, with many just outside on the square to suite all tastes and budgets. Never stayed in the tower as its quite a distance from the main facilities, and always enjoy the Sun.... More

Staff were very nice and in the restaurant, very competent. Front desk staff however were a mess in my book. This is a business hotel but not at the level I expect for this price. I stayed in the Sandton Sun for five nights in May 2012 and saw the hotel in some depth as I had most of my... More

Overall a very good hotel. Lare and comfortable room which were quiet as well. I particularly liked the nespresso machine and the free soft drinks from the minibar. Can't comment of restraint as didn't use it, but there are plent of very good ones around.

This is a good transit or business hotel. It is clean and affordable. The front desk staff was unimpressive and not too helpful. Restaurant food was average.

Recently stayed at the Sandton Sun for 3 nights during our S. African adventure. This hotel was absolutely gorgeous! The staff was extremely friendly! Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We stayed on the 19th floor and the rooms were large and beds very comfy! The only things that went wrong was that when I went to take a shower... More

With a recent Corporate booking, requirements was made for members to share rooms but all the rooms were left with the beds made up for couples sharing the bed. When I expressed my concern about this, the front desk person left me and went to the backoffice to contact my company to report that I threw "a tantrum" not willing... More
