10/10 Exceptional

I liked the convenient location next to the mall. We had a great time moving back and forth enjoying the shopping, visiting the sites and swimming in the pool. The best thing about the property are the people who work there. They are helpful and work hard to make your stay pleasant. The wait people in the restaurants are fabulous. I highly recommend this hotel for weekend visits or for conferences.

Beautiful hotel, very well located (within walking distance from Mandela Square). Restaurant services could be improved (e.g. Restaurant waiters take a long time to attend to customer)

Excellent Service all round, highly recommended

This hotel has come a long way since covid. We stayed here during covid and again now after 2 years and we were extremely impressed all round. Service is 10/10, so is the food quality and variety. Enjoyed breakfast daily and everyone who works here are pleasant and go out of their way with a smile to ensure your stay is pleasurable and you get what you want. Best location in all of Sandton, simply stroll into Sandton City!

6/10 Good

Place has a very loud bar in the middle. Noise from it carried all the way up even to the 17th floor that we were on

6/10 Good

The property was good, but the booking experience was poor, I had to pay an extra charge to relocate from the towers, which are different from the Sandton Sun Hotel that I expected as per my booking.
