Detailed Reviews
It met basic expectations and the staff especially the bell hop and the ladies that served breakfast. One of the major issues I had was that my door did not have a latch. I reported this as soon as I saw it and was told that the handyman would be there to fix it in an hour. I spent 2 nights there and even when I checked out, this was still not fixed.

The staff at check in could cheer up a bit...Rooms are clean, beds tiny and not comfortable, I mean king beds should come as standard nowadays right? TVs are not HD however channel selection is excellent. The hotel is in dire need to a refurb, Breakfast was ok. Shower was nice and hot.

The room is very clean and recently refurbished, as is the hotel. The gym is usable but I didn't see a plunge pool like other business hotels in the area. The breakfast and steak dinners are delicious..... one of the best hotel meals I have ever had. The lounge area is ok, more functional than appealing. The bar area in both the lounge and the restaurant is non-inviting, but a nice wooden deck to unwind on with a cold beverage. Alcohol prices very reasonable.

Hotel's Favourite
Holiday Inn Sandton does every top notch! While their restaurant is being renovated they upgraded the view that came with the delicious meals. Rather than relocate the dining room to one of their spacious internal conference rooms, they moved it to offer all diners the "best seat in the house." Starting the day with these views was inspiring and energizing. But the real boost of confidence comes in knowing I was staying where everything matters to this team as much as it does to me. See you again soon!

Decided to stay here on a business trip to Joburg only because of the IHG rewards. What a mistake. Located inside a commercial office park in the middle of no where it should be classed as a 1 star.
Biggest issue is the WiFi wasn’t working. How can a hotel cater for business people and not have working internet. They said the fibre was out all over the area which which nonsense. They should have warned me before hand. I spent a fortune on cellular date. They did give me a credit of R350 off my bill the next morning only after I moaned about it.
Then one gets to the rooms, the most uncomfortable wooden chair at the desk. So bad I had to ask for reception to get me another chair. They bought up a chair which stank of cigarette smoke.
The only good thing about this hotel was that it has battery backup during load shedding and the beds and linen are good.
They also didn’t give me my welcome points.
Besides that IHG should boot them as a hotel. Avoid and rather stay at the holiday inn or tambo.

Staff exceptionally pleasant and always happy to help. All towels and linen changed daily. No cap on wifi. 24/7 wi fi with as many gadgets as the family had. The free breakfast was scrumptious with a few daily tweaks to avoid monotony. Hotel was clean with 24 hour access to Gym. The restaurant was reasonably priced. I'd happily go back again and again and again

They don’t even have a lock on the door. The lighting is really bad in the room. There is a generator in the front side of the hotel. It’s extremely noisy difficult to sleep not mention the freeway I will just find another hotel

Stayed for 5 nights recently and enjoyed my stay.
It's a 3 star hotel but delivers a very good service. The hotel doesn't try to be something it's not. The value proposition is excellent.
The location may seem a little odd as it is within an office Park but it's conveniently located for highway access to Sandton and travel time is minimal so good for business travellers.
The room is well sized. Perhaps the bed could be one size bigger though as it's a double bed. There is a desk and work chair, a lounge chair, coffee station, safe, hair dryer and hanging and packing space for clothing. Bathroom has necessary goods.
Staff are friendly and hotel is kept in a good condition.
Breakfast is good without being expansive. Muesli and cereals with yoghurt, fresh fruit, pastries and cold meats as well as scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages. Juices, teas and coffee are beverage options.
There is WiFi but limited to 100mb per day.
Overall the hotel provides everything you may need for a business trip or holiday stay as you'll be on the move.
A few things that would be nice are increased WiFi limit and more dstv channels.
Returning again in August and looking forward to it.

I stayed for a week, indeed it's "Express", it lacks many amenities you might expect in other hotels. The hotel is located inside business park and you have to have a car to go in and out, for convenience, otherwise there's nothing nearby. The rooms were clean and comfortable, free internet and the breakfast was good. The staff were great. But you have to go down to collect your room service food, they don't deliver to your room. I bought an insulin medication for diabetic child and the rooms are not equipped with fridge, which is very inconvenient. I had to ask the pharmacist to keep it in their fridge. There's no closets in the room to hang your clothes, especially if you'll be staying for a week or so. It's a hotel for a night or two max.

Hi. Breakfast is served from 06;30-09:30
No shuttle, only the restaurant at the hotel, during the night there are not that much options, you will have to move around in taxi or car. Hotels restaurant is pretty good though.
