Never stayed in the tower as its quite a distance from the main facilities, and always enjoy the Sun.... More

This is a good transit or business hotel. It is clean and affordable. The front desk staff was unimpressive and not too helpful. Restaurant food was average. More

Recently stayed at the Sandton Sun for 3 nights during our S. African adventure. This hotel was absolutely gorgeous! The staff was extremely friendly! Check-in and check-out was a breeze. We stayed on the 19th floor and the rooms were large and beds very comfy! The only things that went wrong was that when I went to take a shower... More

Staff were all pleasant, smiling and helpful. Special mention... More

I had a suite here overlooking the city. Three good restaurants in the hotel complex so I did not have to travel far when I came back late from work. On the sixth floor you can enter the shopping area. More
