Not all hotels are the same, and you absolutely must visit Sandton Sun in Johannesburg to understand what a top-notch hotel experience truly is. You might think that a hotel's star rating guarantees certain qualities: prime location, excellent service, delightful meals, and spacious rooms. It may be true for Sandton Sun but unfortunately, that's not always the case in other hotels with similar rating. As an African Australian who frequently visits South Africa, Sandton Sun has become my second home. From the exceptionally courteous doormen to the welcoming and knowledgeable reception staff, everything about this hotel is impeccable. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, the restaurant and bar are excellent, and the amenities are top-notch. Even if you're the type of person who looks for faults, you'd be hard-pressed to find any here. I absolutely love this place. I cannot end this review without highlighting my favorite service: Sandton Sun's concierge, particularly Noluthando. Thank you, Thando, for always taking such great care of me. From arranging friendly drivers (yes, Bernard is one of my favorites) to organizing tours to key tourist destinations like Soweto, the Apartheid Museum, Mandela Houses, and JHB city tours, interacting with her is a pure joy. Yes, Sandton Sun is on the pricier side, but it's worth every penny for the peace of mind regarding security and access to virtually everything, including an amazing mall and a gym with a steam room. It’s all there. I will definitely be returning to Sandton Sun. Alphonse

“A wonderful stay at the Sandton Sun”

We had a wonderful stay here for 2 nights in August. Every member of staff that we came into contact with was exceptional, friendly and could not have been more helpful. The breakfast was delicious and a huge selection from both the hot and cold menu. Bar staff both indoors and on the San deck were attentive and prompt with orders. A great stay and we would definitely be back. Thank you to everyone for making our stay so memorable.

The Sandton Sun really is the go to hotel in Joburg. From the extra courteous doormen, to the very welcoming and knowledgeable reception personnel, the very well sized room and amenities, I struggle to dislike anything about the hotel and the services they offer. Each interaction was pure joy - the food, the staff ( even maintenance men) and the ambience of this facility left me with a home away from home feeling. I loved being able to stroll to the Sandton mal and back. I enjoyed my stay so much I wanted to extend it but they had no availability. Although it is pricey it is well worth it! I am definitely returning to Sandton Sun 🌞 Julia A

Nice hotel in a fabulous location - perfect for a few days stopover enroute Kruger.. We arrived a day late due to issues with our flight and the hotel were happy to refund our first night. The Hotel is in the heart of Sandton and connected directly to the mall which made it perfect our stay with children.. The only downside would be that the family rooms are on the first two floors and this isn’t ideal as the noise from the bar outside and from the lobby area can carry on late into the evening.. There is only a continental buffet, but you are able to order a full breakfast A la Carte and the staff were happy to oblige with our requests. Also, a few more halal options would have been welcome. Thank you to Cecilia from the reservations team for assisting with our bookings.
