“Staying here puts you right in the heart of Sandton, next to the mall and Nelson Mandela Square, which is a definite plus. I appreciate that they try to cater to families with the offer for kids to stay free, and the free shuttle to the Gautrain station is a nice touch for getting around. Though some past visitors mentioned noise and security concerns, the central location and family-friendly policies still make it a solid option if you want to be in the middle of everything.”
