@Sandton Hotel
Stayed for two nights. The room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. Shuttle was not available to pick us up at the Gautrain station unfortunately so we had to cross the street and catch an Uber to the hotel. We used the shuttle to go to Nelson Mandela square the next day. Check-in was quick ...
