The staff was lovely and extremely helpful and the room was okay the only downside was the room was a little dirty, the shower had old soap stains, the bar soap provided was used and the fridge also smelled of old food. The bedding and other areas of the room was clean and the area felt safe with lots of dining options

Very disappointing

I was so excited to stay in the Radisson, but experience wasn’t as expected. Staff never replied my emails trying to sort it out something special for a birthday. Cleaning in the room was poor, kitkat bag open and a bottle lid under the bed, only 1 towel provided for 3 people in the room! Location, breakfast and bed were good. I would not come back.

Nice modern and clean room. Flexible with request for late check out. Moved rooms no issue due to noisy aircon, next room very quiet. Breakfast was nice. Bar nice but lacking ambience- not many there. Unsafe area at night addressed with shuttle on demand to mall/ eateries. Very close to Gautrain. Would stay again but be mindful can't just pop out of hotel as you please.

Lovely quick stay

Great single night stay. Walking distance to Sandton City which is great. Only thing they need to work on is their inroom dining, I ordered a meal at 7pm, after it hadnt arrived by 8pm I phoned down again and it finally arrived around 40 minutes later. I was told it was a mix up with room numbers but surely a hotel brand of this calibre should have the room number show up on their switch board. Anyway this mishap aside the lamb was excellent and the carrot cake too. The staff where super friendly and all very accomodating. I will be back.

Lack of professionalism and common sense

Initial check in was excellent but multiple reconfirmations by 4 different staff members on extension of stay was a little excessive. Some including phone calls after 10 pm disrupting our rest others door knocks excluding my two visits to the counter to share payment confirmation and receipt from Radisson. Further training required at this property
