It was clean and the bed was comfortable
There was no answer from reception around 5am when we called to enquire about no wifi connection
Tudo ótimo
Tivemos uma cortesia muito legal de lua de mel no quarto
Es una maravilla de hotel hemos disfrutado mucho de la estancia. Es un hotel precioso muy limpio y muy cómodo , el restaurante es muy bueno y el desayuno es lo más, te hacen un café buenísimo y tienes cocineros por todas partes haciendote tortillas muy completas y buenos huevos no le falta de nada es simplemente perfecto.
La ubicación un poco lejos del aeropuerto y del centro
Very safe, clean, I love the way it smelt, feels like Royalty
There was only one person serving on Friday night at the Sky Bar. At one point I waited 45 minutes just for a beer. Maybe fix the system?
Rooms are very good. Staff is very nice and helpful. Breakfast and food in general was great in the hotel. The shuttle is a good way to go around. Centrally located in Sandton. The bathrooms are a bit dated, could be upgraded, but nevertheless maintained well.
There should be an option for beds in twin room to be together for couples and families.
Friendly and attentive staff Very well located and shuttle service Great breakfast

Housekeeping staff
The explanation I received at reception was not clear. * I waited in the breakfast line for about 35 minutes. * When I got to my room, there was no fridge. I requested one, but I had to wait about 7 hours before it was provided. * I also contacted reception/room service, but I would sometimes wait more than 2 hours for assistance. * When my food eventually arrived, it was cold. * Overall, the service was very poor and disappointing, and the long waiting times made the experience frustrating.
Bathroom is filthy with foul sewage water smell Toilet faucet for cleaning not working Beds are not clean, nor comfortable I got allergy due to Bed Bugs I personally didnt like the rooms.
Beds have bed bugs Not comfortable at all
The breakfast was amazing. Caters for all kinds of diet. The location is super convenient. Theres a shuttle available every thirty minutes to take you to the mall.
The shower needed maintenance. It wasnt a trainsmash though
Muito bem localizado, van para a Mandela Square, ótimo custo benefício.

I liked the location
The room was dirty. The bathroom as well. The towels were old. The room service wasn’t up to standard. Food took about an hour to arrive. I ordered a cheese sandwich and I got nothing close to it. They also don’t make certain things (sandwiches) at a certain time which they don’t stipulate. The carpets in the room were also just in need a deep clean so the room was smelly. The bed was concave on one side. The bathroom also had dirt on the crevasses.
Pequeno almoço muito bom e bom preço
De ser servido o chá, acho que deveria ter uma dispensadora do chá que cada cliente pode servir se ao gosto
Location was good. Pleasant environment
The shower drainage was blocked
It was close to the mall
The breakfast was excellent, staff were welcome and friendly. I also appreciate the high standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel, including the rooms and common areas. The hotel had a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. And rooms were well maintained and pleasant. I had a very positive experience and would be happy to stay in Southern Su Hotel again.
Nothing everything was excellent
The place was so refreshing
The shower tile was a bit sticky so it wasn't properly cleaned. I also suggest that there should be sound proof or something of that sort. we could hear conversations from next door

Location and free shuttle to the Sandton Mall.
Didn’t feel like a 4* hotel. We had problems with the shower as the cold taps were stuck which meant we couldn’t use the shower on the first morning as the water was scolding.The food in the restaurant on the first evening was not good as so salty.
Great location, easily accessible and beautiful rooms . Private and feels elegant
It’s not 1980 , they must change their TVs to smart TVs . I raised this to the staff and they said they aswell have been raising it for some time with no change .
Proximity to the mall...the shuttle was of great help
The refilled water ddnt look very clean
The breakfast was so nice. The restaurant managers are wonderful people. They made every one feel at home. The driver in the complimentary van is a wonderful person. He made out stay smooth.
The people at the reception need to take the same customer care lessons like the restaurant managers.
Great location
The air conditioning did not work and the staff did not take responsibility to fix it.
Nice place I like it..been there for more than 3 times I will visit again
Not that I think of
It was clean only the shower which was not perfect
Location and the stuffs
Great location with courtesy bus taking you to Sandton Mall. Fantastic staff and great breakfast.
The only thing was the air conditioning was noisy and didn't cool the room that well.
The shuttle was very convenient.
The bathroom had a smell. Like there is an issue with the plumbing.
Nice location. The breakfast was very good, and the staff at the restaurant are the best.
We had requested an early check-in. The staff at the reception did not give us the impression to care at all. Only, a young lady by the name of Mamello tried to accomodate us.
The bus service to and Sandton Mall were such a bonus! For a solo traveler this made my life very easy and safety was not a concern.
nothing. Maybe with time, the hotel can consider modernizing the look and feel of the rooms. The feel is quite outdated
Very clean and modern
Everything was perfect
Quiteness and cleanliness
Nothing
Amazing Staff: especially Lindiwe, Fikile, Thandeka and Sharon who went the extra mile to ensure I was well taken care of.
Rooms were very clean and met our expectations
Buffet, very little to chose. e.g there was no beef
Was a perfect place for my wife and her friends to enjoy a night away!
The staff could not have been more friendly or more accommodating. First class.
Breakfast was very good and location was great we didn't struggle to find the place
General ambience was good
Room too cramped partly due to placement of writing table
very good with a nice scent throughout the reception
there where no sandles for bathroom nor indoor shoes. there is no provision for water on the toliets for washing bum which is an hygenie issue. i would not wash my bum clean while on the toliet seat.
Great location, clean and loved the free shuttle.
More water in the rooms needed.
Location
They clean too late
the shower in the bath is so old world
the shower in the bath
A localização é ótima, oferece shuttle de 30 em 30 minutos para a Praça Nelson Mandela, que é bem próxima. O café da manhã é excelente e os funcionários muito solícitos.
O chuveiro do quarto é uma ducha mais antiga, que sai pouca água. Além disso, fica sobre a banheira que é alta, risco para queda ao entrar ou sair.
Excellent brekkie
Excellent location

My second stay here in the last few weeks. Everything about the place is top notch, the staff even better.
The ground floor bar can be quite difficult to get service.

Location good , excellent service
Fine salt and pepper, most hotels are no longer using that . Please change with the times , don’t be left behind
Friendly staff
Speed of service
I loved the wide variety for breakfast
The mini fridge had an on and off sound
The ambiance and the friendly staff all around from reception, security even by the elevator.
The envirnoment is good the place is clean
Staff were absolutely fantastic. Location is excellent. Close to gautrain and mall. Great shuttle service around the area.. Will stay again.
They all want Springboks to beat Wallabies.
The support from staff particularly at the restaurant a lady called Lindiwe stood out in kindness and suppoetiveness as we took food
You dont.have membership options and discounts for regulars
The room is beautiful and located in a perfect area.

Reception staff less friendly than the rest
Exceptional staff. From the front desk, the cleaners; to the drivers, to the food and beverage team. Excellent service. 10/10
There was no bar fridge in the room and the shower leaked water all over the bathroom.
Comfy bed , free shuttle service
Staff were helpful and efficient, particularly the travel assistance staff. Room was clean and comfortable. However, air conditioning was difficult to operate. There were no instructions for use and we had to request assistance to turn it on. Breakfast was excellent. However, there was an hour’s wait between ordering and delivery for dinner when we ordered à la carte on a buffet night. Well located with a large mall next door.
See above.
room are clean, staff is nice
Rooms are cleaned after 5.00pm. the breakfast is good but you won't enjoy it because of the long queues and waiting time
Good
We arrived around 8h30 pm for the room that was supposed to be prepared around 19h00. Only to find it it unchecked and we had to wait longer by the reception. Getting inside there was no water or fridge 😕 we had to ask for the fridge and it took long before we could get it
The location is ideal and very convenient . The shuttle makes everything easier .. and the housekeeping , her name is porsha she was very kind and attended to me each time . God bless her
The bathroom had a weird stench coming from one of the ducts under the vanity.. the shower drain was broken? .. the carpets could be vacuumed more and the air conditioner was not going to warm . They could fix that
The location their rooms very clean everything
The bar fridge was not working well needs to be changed
Good location, friendly and understanding staff. Great pool - me and my friend actually swem on Saturday (29/08/26) lol. Was Great to see ironing board and hairdryer.
No microwave - we therefore had to go downstairs to the bar to ask the staff to warm our pizza up. Fridge. TV has limited things to watch. Hence we turned it off for the entirety of our stay.
Proximity to mall, the timing of the van dropping guests to the mall, breakfast was awesome

All good
I liked everything about this hotel. The staff is friendly, and professional. They all made me feel like I was home away from home. Big shoutout to the shuttle driver, he helped me look for daughter and gave me directions. He was very patient with me, and friendly. The staff are just too amazing, from the beautiful ladies at reception who are very client-centric

I was disappointed that there was no microwave available. I asked the staff downstairs, and they confirmed that the hotel does not have one, which is something I would typically expect to be available in a hotel.

Breakfast menu needs to alternate and have more choice
Location
The level of unprofessionalism displayed by the staff, particularly the manager, Mr. Lemohang, was extremely disappointing. When a concern was brought to his attention, his response was rude, dismissive, and completely unbothered. His attitude came across as arrogant and demonstrated a concerning lack of regard for customer service and guest satisfaction. This was especially disappointing given that the front desk is often a guest’s first point of contact and therefore plays a crucial role in shaping the overall impression of a hotel and its brand. Unfortunately, my experience gave me the impression that guest concerns and experiences were simply not a priority. This was my first experience at a hotel where I felt that management showed such little concern for its guests. Needless to say, I will not be returning and would not recommend this hotel based on the level of service I experienced. Secondly, our room had a sewage smell that didn't go away perhaps a plumbing issue in the hotel.
Ability to respond with no fuss, smiles, efficiency
I prefer the yogurt and additions to be fully covered... they should be covered

The Equadorian chefs attitude
The breakfast was good as I had a variety though service took a bit long due to alot of guests
The room that I had was next to a noisy place which made it a bit difficult to do some work
L'emplacement est idéal. Le personnel est à l'écoute et toujours disponible. Le petit-déjeuner est juste incroyable.
Le fait de n'avoir qu'une seule bouteille d'eau de moins de 1l disponible chaque jour dans la chambre alors que nous étions deux et que nous en consommons beaucoup. Nous l'avons dit aux dames de ménage mais rien n'a changé jusqu'à notre départ.
