I travel to South Africa frequently with work at Wits and because of its proximity, stay at the Sunnyside. It is an aging beauty and service can be spotty (forget wireless in your room and I've learned not to expect an iron!) but overall have found it to be reasonable. Jasonleg is right - the food is OK, wait staff... More

The hotel is located in Parktown which is not a great area to stay in if you are on vacation. I consult at an office just down the road so it is convenient. The overall atmosphere is of a hotel with some former glory. Now it is faded and looks rather tired and tacky. Some rooms have been modernized like... More

The reviewer who recently gave this venue a 5 must have been staying in a different room if not the different era that the hotel harks back to . . . My room was more like a long corridor positioned over the kitchen (smells) and adjacent to a large compressor system (noise). My window overlooked an extremely dank and dirty... More

Most things were marginal about this hotel. Rooms are OK, but after staying in two separate rooms over two week period, I had to call the maintenance several times. Pool was not heated, and not usable. The entire property was old and generally uninviting. Breakfast was good, but inconsistent. Overall, I would suggest looking elsewhere unless location is a must... More

Staff were friendly and went out of their way to help, particularly with the several bags needed at the beginning of our month-long trip. The hotel has a warm, old-worldly feel. Lovely grounds and fine woodwork in hallways are well-maintained. Room was comfortable and quiet. More

I stayed at Sunnyside Hotel for 4 nights in May 2011 for business travel and found it disappointing. Wireless access is spotty. No iron in the room (and put in a request to have one delivered but it never arrived. My toilet broke and I had to have a service man in my room twice. I used the gym everyday... More

The owners of the Sunnyside Park Hotel also own the Michalengelo - a ridiculously upmarket, over the top hotel in Sandton which is the epitome of bad taste. Hummers parked at the door, etc. But the Sunnyside Park, miraculously, is old, unspoilt, set on expansive, beautiful grounds and simply excellent in terms of its service and food and beverage quality....

This hotel is in a historic building (just over 100 years old - historic for Johannesburg) near downtown Jo'burg. It appears to be fairly secure (though the sliding window in my room had no lock to prevent it being slid open from the outside). It has a good size car park, a buffet restaurant that seems popular amongst locals and... More

if you are going to stay here make sure it is in the newer part of the hotel. it has air conditioning that actually works. the staff were very, very pleasant. however they would not admit that the air conditioning was non-functional. however, the general manager will admit this when you write a letter of complaint. teh grounds are lovely....
