Garden Court Sandton City

Garden Court Sandton City

10/10 Excellent
"My second stay at Sandton Convention Centre area, and this time I paid 1/3 what I did the first time at a different hotel! The Garden Court is a great deal. I was checked in efficiently, and given helpful information. The hotel is not too large so it is easy to get from the lobby, bar, etc to room and back. My room size was fine for the price, the bathroom has shower only but this is all OK for a short stay. My room on first floor overlooked the main road outside but this was not disturbing me at all. I ate dinner in the Riffs Bar & Grill on site which is a fun place, I enjoyed my burger & chips. Breakfast was a buffet with plenty of choice. The concierge was helpful. it is 200m walk to the convention centre. I would definitely stay here again if I come to Sandton again"

"There is a lot to like about this hotel. It is right there on the convention centre. It is a very fancy hotel, very grand. There are lots of super helpful staff to welcome you and look after you. I found my room to be spacious and very quiet. The bed was comfortable, it was nice to have a real full size bath in the bath room. I used the in room dining which came when it was supposed to and the food was great and the service friendly. There is only one thing I do not like about this hotel and that is the glass lifts which run up the open atrium. I have vertigo. I had to use the goods lift which is not so convenient! If you have no problem with panoramic elevators and the like then you will love this hotel."

"Great hotel in general. Lovely rooms, friendly staff, good amenities. Lowest service point I experienced was asking for a takeaway coffee from the baristas at breakfast and being sent to fetch my own cup at a different location. Why don't they have takeaway cups ready for guests on the move? Why don't they fetch the cup and bring it to my table when it's ready like they would if I ordered a coffee to go? Ongoing maintenance was a bit of a menace when working from my room during the day. Once that's done, I imagine it'll be better."
