Amazing location and hotel

Great hotel and location. Easy and quick check in. The best breakfast buffet, amazing bar/restaurant and gym. This was the best hotel stay in Johannesburg. The hotel is surrounded by the Nelson Mandela plaza and mall. You have access to many stores and food places. The bar/restaurant at the hotel offered some of the best meals and drinks. Must stay here. This hotel is great for family, couples and business. It was less than 30 minutes away from airport and 5 minute walking for everything else listed.

Garden City Sandton offers a comfortable and convenient stay in a prime location. The hotel is clean and well-maintained, with a friendly and helpful staff that ensures a smooth experience. Situated in a safe area, it’s perfect for those who enjoy walking to nearby shopping centers and restaurants. The on-site restaurant provides a decent dining option, but the highlight is the great buffet breakfast, which offers a variety of fresh and delicious choices. Overall, a solid choice for both business and leisure travelers looking for a hassle-free stay in Sandton. Highly recommend.
