I had booked via Booking and while the rooms won't win a beauty contest, my stay was very clean and suitable for two people. The service was excellent with the lady at the reception being absolutely professional, polite, and helpful during the night shift at Sandton City Hotel. However, there was a mistake on their part in accepting the booking. The location was a little edgy, not very good, and especially not ideal for European tourists. The dining experience was good but only for one. The facilities were fine overall.

My stay at the hotel was quite memorable. The room was spacious and modern, offering a view of the city that was spectacular, but the lack of a comfortable bed was a bit disappointing. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making my experience truly enjoyable. However, the Wi-Fi had some connectivity issues, which was a downside. The location was convenient, despite being a little edgy, and the dining options were varied and delicious. The facilities were top-notch, especially the well-maintained pool area.
