This is a basic straightforward no nonsense kind of hotel. Aimed for the business traveller on a budget or a cheap get away for the family. Room and bathroom are relatively small, but cosy. The hotel is on the corner of two busy roads and Mandela Sq is a five minute walk from the hotel. Lighting in the rooms is... more

Because of my work, I have stayed at least 8 times during the last year on the hotel. Certainly it hasn't been my choice to stay there, but it could be. I'm saying this because there are as many good things as bad things. Every time I've stayed there I've seen pretty much the same issues. The reception is the... more

Average hotel if you have simple needs, not in search for a spectacular view and too busy not to notice the 'welcome' from the staff.... more

Just wanted to say that there are two Garden Court Hotels in Sandton area. One is called Garden Court Sandton and is at the corner of Katherine Street and Rivonia Road. The other one is Garden Court Sandton City, at the corner of West and Maude Streets. The reviews and photos here are combined and I think it may be... more

I arranged an early check-in at the hotel. When I arrived in my room the first thing that hit me was the smell. The carpets, sink, bath and bedding were covered in stains. The security bar on the door was broken. There were long hairs over the sink and carpet. Eventually I was moved to another room which was clean... more

I stayed here for a week on business. Mostly it was perfectly acceptable - seemed to be clean, secure complex, and it's one of the few "chain" hotels that serves proper freshly squeezed orange juice (or at least a very good imitation) at breakfast. On the downsides I found the beige-tinted windows very depressing (makes every day dreary) and was... more

Spent 4 days here over two stays in July while in Johannesburg on business. Friendly staff in a clean functional hotel well positioned for doing business in Sandton or downtown Johannesburg. Liked: the big beds, free breakfast and all day coffee. Disliked: having to pay for internet access. Staff were informed about tours of Johannesburg and surrounds and were happy... more

Although I am not a big fan of Holiday Inn; but I can see why they would take away their name from this hotel. We we picked up by a hotel taxi (Cost R340) from the airport and arrived there around 10:30. The first shock after checking-in was the size of the room. It was really really small. There was... more

The hotel is centrally located in Sandton and within easy walking distance of Sandton City and Mandela Square. This means plenty of shopping and restaurants on your doorstep and no need to drive after dark, which is a major plus if you don't know Johannesburg very well. The rooms are just what you would expect from any Holiday Inn, pretty... more
