The staff members, from the chauffeur to the restaurant manager, are friendly and exude genuine warmth. The location is very convenient: a mere few minutes from Mandela Square and the Gautrain station (Sandton). The rooms are comfortable and clean. But this isn't a hotel for business travelers. There is no urgency at the front desk to attend to guests. Wifi... More

I am using regularly hotels for business and leisure but i have to say that it was a long time i did not have such bad experience. First, nobody picked me up at the airport even if i booked a car with the hotel few days earlier. When i called the hotel, nobody could help me and proposed to call... More

I am one of those people who commute to JHB from Cape Town on a weekly basis... have been doing so for a full year now! If it weren't for the Southern Sun Katherine Street hotel, I would be even more stressed out... if that's possible! They are truly my home away from home... another family, who really do everything... More

This was the first stop on a South African tour, and what a great start. The hotel stands out like an oasis in the motley suburbs of Johannesburg. The rooms were clean, tidy, well furnished and well serviced and the small gardens were beautifully presented. The most outstanding feature of all was the restaurant. The owner, Rob, took the time...

The food in this hotel was excellent, worthy of a 5 star hotel. Rob, the Owner's attendance to detail was exceptional. We were made to feel like VIP's by him and the restaurant staff. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had in 40 years of staying in hotels. The reception staff were also very friendly and... More

On arrival there was no record of our reservation, even though we booked 4 months in advance. Room was tired and had not been refurbished for many years. View out of window of some sort of car hire/repair yard. A/C did not work and the room was very hot and we could not open window as on ground floor and... More

Not too bad a location but not great - better to stay near to Nelson Mandela Square. Some problems that would make me not come back. No air conditioning and three days of complaints resulted in someone coming up and saying all was well but a/c still didn't work and they said it was too full to move us. Plus... More

Enjoyed the stay though it was quite a distance from my office. Good business hotel with a great restaurant. I am vegetarian and the chef was very nice to cook me a good Indian dinner (esp when not on the menu). They had taken the extra effort to please me, speaks really good of them. Concierge organised for the transport... More
