Hotel was rather busy when we arrived and the entrance was chaotic but all the staff were very charming, efficient, welcoming and warm. Our room was spacious and clean. Service was great from all staff members at breakfast and in the bar in the evening. We had a great stay and would certainly return.

This is what a 5 star hotel should be. Nothing is too much trouble, assistance and service on hand at every turn. We have stayed at other supposedly 5 star establishments but the Sandton Sun eclipses them all. Friendly knowledgable staff and superb facilities throughout. Some of the fittings are clearly quite old, hence my 4 star for that section but it has no impact on the functionality. What makes this hotel so special is the quality of the staff. They are clearly paid well and have a grace and genuine will to help.

Sandton Sun staff were friendly and helpful - this is big improvement from previous visits. They didn't make it look like it was a chore to be of service. Well done to management. What I didn't like: I ordered sole for dinner under room service and it was not hot or well cooked. Even the mash was cold... Other than that, it is a great hotel.
