You also have to be patient, I waited nearly one hour for my lunch to be served, and the following day I finished my breakfast before... More

“Nice stay in Sandton”

Reviewed 15 May 2013 NEW

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.

Dear "KenHugh", Thank you for supporting and recommending our beloved Holiday Inn Sandton. On behalf of the general manager and his team, I look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Greetings from South Africa! Burnedette Botha - Guest Relations Manager More

“Excellent room and service”

Very good sized room, well furnished. Service was very very good. Indeed it is the service from front desk, the business lounge receptionist and one of the managers - Ms Phipps - that has prompted this review. There were some small 'hiccups' but they were well handled by front desk and management. Breakfast and lunch were of a high standard.... More
