Close to Sandton city and other Johannesburg, South Africa Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

You are almost in the garden of the most famous shopping centre of Johannesburg, just have to cross the street.
Facilities are like in all Holiday Inns,
As a lot of hotels in South Africa, you can enjoy a lot of differents foods, Indian, European, American, Chinese, vegetarian, etc.
Breakfast buffet is particularly well done.

Unique Qualities: The central location.

If you enter this hotel after 10PM, the gate is fully of money girls who harass you under the eyes of the guards who say nothing. That is a pity to have this in such an hotel.

The hotel is inside the famous park Golden Reef City, which reminds the first gold diggers of the XIXth century.
The hotel is in a Victorian style both externaly and internaly. The hotel is in fact a kind of small residential area in a town. Your room is in a house, like a flat. Everything inside is like in a Victorian room, furniture, etc. You have your bath in the bedroom, separated by a pannel. The bath is an ancient one with old copper style taps.
The lighting is like candels.

Unique Qualities: You are inside the park, with access to everything.
Breakfast is in one of the restaurants, and you can choose any of the other restaurants for lunch and dinner, whatever you feel to eat.
Bars are also in this old Victorain style.

You are very close to a very big casino, looking like Las Vegas, you can play for R1 around the clock. However, I hate gambling.

When you arrive in South Africa, it is always after a long journey in the plane and another one to come from the airport.
When you arrive there, they greet you with some fresh fruit juice a a large smile. The hospitality is very good.
The bedroom is large and very comfortable. Protea is offering a fresh apple everyday. You just wake up and can taste a nice apple before going to breakfast.

Unique Qualities: Services,
the apple,
the transport service from the hotel to any place in town.
The award for South African Airways frequent flyer. (it gives you a lot of miles, with a two week stay, I almost got a free ticket.

Nice hotel close to Sandton Mall. You need the hotel shuttle or a taxi t go, even if the Mall is at a short walking distance. In this area, it is not safe to walk outside.

The best and most expensive hotel of the area. Directly in the Sandton shopping Mall. The smallest room looks like a suite in other hotels.
The service is outstanding. I arrived there with nothing (lost by airline). They provided me with everything during my stay, including an express laundry during the night and all toiletries.

Unique Qualities: Very luxuous hotel wth all facilities you can think off.
Very expensive, only if your company pays!!!
