The hotel is centrally located in Sandton and within easy walking distance of Sandton City and Mandela Square. This means plenty of shopping and restaurants on your doorstep and no need to drive after dark, which is a major plus if you don't know Johannesburg very well. The rooms are just what you would expect from any Holiday Inn, pretty... more

I’m sure travelers are aware of the high crime rate in Johannesburg and unfortunately we decided to go just after the Christmas period and as we were about to enter our home we were robbed. Luckily we were not hurt but we did not want to stay in the house for fear they would come back so we searched for... more

The review by Mirey of Toronto dated Oct 28 -2007, compared with what we experienced there in December, is quite different. We stayed 2 nights before and 1 night after Kruger and found the hotel staffs were extremely friendly and efficient , the room was very clean and the buffet breakfast included on our weekend stay was excellent , much... more

Stayed here one night between Kruger Park and Victoria Falls trips as part of a group of 6. Hotel is well located in a safe area rife with expensive luxury hotels.

Awesome beds, and the queen was actually a queen and not 2 twins pushed together.... more

I've stayed in this hotel twice now whilst in Johannesburg on business, and find it to be perfect for my needs. The rooms are clean, roomy and comfortable, nothing fancy, but certainly adequate for the price. There is a nice pool area and a decent Gym (though adding an eliptical cross trainer would be highly appreciated by this traveller). Location... more

Great Location a short walk to Sandton city shopping complex, across the road from Nelson Mandela Square which has more shopping and restaurants including the Butcher Shop which has the most fantastic T Bone Steaks no need to order entree. The rooms were good clean and tidy TV included cable sports etc. Breakfast was excellent with selection varied. Recommended for... more
