Great short stay at Southern Sun Sandton.
Pros:

I liked the room and the fact that it has a carpet. I was so cold but a gentelman came and showed me how to work the heat. And they would start to heat the room earlier so that I found it warm by the time I was back at the hotel.
Also the lighting was great. Hotels are often dim but Southern Sun Sandton was nice and bright

Cons:

The bathroom sometimes had a strong smell in the mornings that i suspect came from the plumbing system.

Cons:

The duvet and blanket is not warm enough in winter. And sleeping with the heater on makes one feel sick.

Aggressive staff
Pros:

Hotel was great

Cons:

Guy at Coffee section was unbelievably rude and out right aggressive.

Waiting 15min and went to him 3 times to get a coffee yet he was just busy talking to the other staff!.

He wouldn't give me his name.

Iv noticed all over South Africa staff just busy talking loudly, childishly
