The hotel provides what they say they do. The rooms are clean, and have everything someone needs for an overnight stay. the styling, whislt clearly done on a budget, was tasteful and fresh. If I had arrived from a flight late, I just needed a clean place to shower and sleep, then I was leaving again early the next morning,... More

Firstly, let me make it clear, I was not supposed to be booked into this hotel, it was a mistake, I was supposed to be booked in the Garden Court Sandton City, so it starts off a bit negative. The location of this hotel is problematic for me. The name creates the impression that it is in the popular Sandton... More

I would say The Garden Court Sandton is simply a convenient hotel after a long flight or if you want go shopping at Sandton but nothing more. If you are a business traveler and just need a place to sleep its also ok but otherwise the staff isn't friendly nor helpful as such.

They say first impressions last so when you arrive at the corner of Rivonia & Katherine streets, don't feel bad if you want to turn back. The hotel is located within what looks like a business park, there's a huge excavation spot and the driveway is crowed by shrubs and trees - not a welcoming site, particularly if you're checking...

We often stay in Garden Court Sandton. It is so convenient for shopping in Sandton City and is across the road from the US Consulate. The hotel offers free undercover parking and a reasonable buffet breakfast (normally included in the room rate). The rooms are a bit dated, but clean and functional. Very good value for a 3 star hotel... More

I have no complaints about Garden Court Sandton. The location was excellent since we just had to cross the road to Sandton City Mall. The breakfast was delicious and the service was on point. I was particularly happy with the shuttle service to the Train Station.

The hotel is situated in a quiet up scale neighbourhood just opposite the Sandton City mall and Nelson Mandela Square. The breakfast spread is awesome , the staff are friendly and really accommodating. I got a new toothbrush for everyday! The room was a little small but that's all I didn't like. Everything else was fab!
