Hotel only 5 mins by car from Sunninghill Hospital and offers a wonderful contrast to the hospital - the gardens are glorious; the atmosphere peaceful; the rooms clean; and the staff friendly and accommodating. I stayed here whilst visiting a very ill brother who, when he was discharged, needed to remain near the hospital. He joined me here and the... More

This establishment has such a wonderful ambience, ootential is in every corner, big yard, space, big dining hall, lounging areas. As I came into the establishment, I was greeted by different groups working around in what seemed like break-away sessions from a couple of conferences in the establishment. There is some life and imagination that has left this place, the... More

My company recently used Sandton Lodge - Rivonia for delegates to stay over for a few days during meetings. I have NEVER come across such bad service from all departments. Also rooms with no numbers, blocked shower and fraid and old towels. There was one lady that ran around trying but eventually then gave up. To get something to drink... More

Our company uses this venue as the preferred venue when we travel to JHB from all the regions. Have stayed there 8 times in 18 months. Every time it seems to degrade a little more. This time: no numbers on the rooms in the one wing. Broken toilet seat in my room. Blocked drain in my shower. TV channels not... More

Once again we regret the experience by this guest. It seems that we have fallen short in our service over the same period. The guests concerns are valid and we have addressed them. As previously mentioned we have had some staff challenges especially in housekeeping with two staff members being unavailable due to retirement and illness. We hired two temporary... More

Writing this review in response to some of the bad reviews. I regularly stay at the Lodge when in Jhb on business and find it perfect for arranging meetings out of the hustle and bustle of Sandton especially breakfast meetings to avoid traffic. I saw a pic on the Tripadvisor sight which is not of this hotel and Im wondering... More

From the serene, winding garden paths to the extraordinary attentiveness of the staff, you will thank yourself for choosing the Sandton Lodge in Rivonia. I recently held an international workshop on the grounds. Of 45 participants from many different countries that attended, all of them praised the Lodge - from the beautiful surroundings to the comfortable rooms, varied meals, impeccable... More

Very disappointing. Expensive but facilities and services do not live up to the cost. Toilet seat broken on arrival. Later in the evening the whole toilet came away from the floor ! Very dangerous and a sign of shoddy building work. Breakfast was a shambles. No forks, no teaspoons, no juice glasses and no sign of any staff to correct... More

The Lodge has beautifully cared for grounds, the food was excellent, however the room was not up to par. We were there in winter and the marble floor was very very cold with no rugs. The toilet when flushed sounded like major construction taking place in the room. It took quite a bit of asking to have someone look at... More

This is probably the worst hotel i have stayed in, the room was dirty on arrival, broken toilet seat,dust in corners, flimsy safe, fixtures and fittings cheap and nasty (mostly poorly maintained). Some of the staff were polite and attentive but overall seemed to have a lack of training in hotel service. I had to ring reception no less than... More
