Sandton is a good location for business travellers having meetings on this side of Jo'burg (like the industries in Midrand, Centurion, ...). The hotel is a typical Holiday Inn, not very luxurous, basic, but providing good value for money. Inside Sandton, you are not to far from Mandela Square, but be careful to walk around alone after dark. Restaurant inside... More

Almost everything was more than I expected. The only exception was the complimentary internet access, this was rather slow most of the time. The room was spacious with various plugs for travelers, the bathroom was in an good condition (I liked it because prefer taking showers). There was a wide selection for breakfast, altogether I had a very enjoyable stay.... More

This was my second stay at the Holiday Inn in Sandton, and I have to say that standards of customer service have slipped in the last six months. The hotel is in a great location, five minutes' walk from the main shopping, eating, and business area, and conveniently close to the Gautrain, if one chooses to travel to/from the airport... More

Great overall ambiance. Rooms very nice. Good location to Sandton Central. Food quality average, overpriced for quality of food. Limited variety on menu, and did not even have a 300g Rump. Good wine list, wine by the glass. Much better value for money in the area.

A quiet and convenient Hotel to stay and complete your Business work. Got good lounges and sit out areas for having informal chat with Customers and acquaintances. The view is good, ambience is good. However if you are mixing family with Kids and business stay be cautious to choose appropriate size of rooms.

Reception staff were very good. Swift check-in with free champagne and canapes. Exec lounge staff talkative in a pleasant way. Only problem was slightly loud air conditioning despite being turned off-still slept well. Nice touch of UK or SA power avaliable. Area good. Not far from Sandton city and walkable to train to airport.
