Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Located in the heart of busy Sandton - arriving by car was hectic, but one inside, it was nice. Clean rooms - great amenities - quiet sleep. It is connected to Sandon Malls so shopping & meeting friends for dinner was very easy.. Wonderful breakfast.
Simply during my stay, my Home in Joburg for the last 14 years. Fabulous location with a Secure straight accès to the Santon City Mall and clos to all major Brands for shopping and all kinds of restaurants.
I would not hesitate walking through the lobby in pyjama and gown - it feels to me so much like home
Excellent facility including gym/business center/Spa. exceptional location, friendly staff, wonderfully appointed rooms, very clean.
A very good hotel ideally located in the heart of Sandton Square. The staff provided good service and all of them were pleasant.
I did not think twice before selecting Davinci for my third trip to SA as the last experience was top notch. Thankfully, I enjoyed every bit of my stay just like the last time. The property is well cleaned and always sparkling with good fragrance. The location at the heart of Sandton City will always make your stay in Jo'burg absolutely worth the while.
It was beautiful and relaxing one of the most amazing hotels in Sandton and great staff, the room was clean food was beautiful, everything was excellent
Back to Sandton, had to stay at Da Vinci again, never disappoints. The staff are great, the room is predictably comfortable with great amenities. It was pretty nice to be sat on the balcony having a coffee first thing in the morning.
Hotel pictures state an indoor and outdoor pool. Indoor heated. This is factually incorrect. THere isnt any indoor pool at all for use. The rooms photgraph well the actual rooms look dated and well worn. Staff management I found to be dismissive. The bed is very comfortable However outside of the bed sheets being clean. The blanket and covers smelled bad and defiantly unwashed. Stay at the Maslow or hilton near by
The best place to lodge in Sandton. Proximity to the mall and restaurants as well as attraction spots. Excellent service experience from staff and very cosy room with really nice pillows that helps you sleep fine with no pain.
Exceptional service
Nothing
The staff were wonderful and very helpful.
The property is good I can’t fault it in anyway. However I would like to comment on the fact that over the years I have stayed there a number of times and not once has the management acknowledged to upgrade or to give me some sort of appreciation. I have been there several even for my birthday and there was no acknowledgment. Which of course is not a must but it would be a good thing to have some sort of appreciation too.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful hotel. Walking distance to the Nelson Mandela square. The facilities and amenities are excellent, creating a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you arrive. The rooms are well-appointed, the public areas are beautifully maintained, and the restaurants offer a wonderful dining experience. What truly sets this hotel apart is its exceptional staff. From the warm welcome at the entrance to the friendly and efficient reception team, and the attentive service throughout the restaurants, every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The attention to detail, cleanliness, and overall standard of the hotel are outstanding. You can be incredibly proud of the team you have built. Thank you for a memorable stay—we look forward to visiting again and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a first-class experience.
I had the indulgence package at the DaVinci and it blew my mind. 10/10 for everything. So much value for money and real 5 star treatment.
Fantastic stay, my wife was extremely happy. I plan to bring my entire family on holiday and we are certainly stay at the Davinci.
Excellent facility world class
I loved it
Really well appointed hotel, great location and fantastic service. The hotel also has dedicated parking which was super convenient as we rented a car. It is literally connected to the shopping centre and the rooms and service were great. We even had a choice of pillow type which makes all the difference. We used the gym which was well appointed and if we ever do go back we’ll use the spa next time too as we didn’t get around to it this time.
Davinci has great location with easy access to Sandton Mall. great service on front desk. Room facilities luxurious and well manicured
Great and convenient hotel. Easy access to Sandton Mall. All staff are amazingly friendly and attentive
The breakfast Menu needs to be changed. It has been the same Menu for a long time now.
The Tv 's are outdated. The mictowave was difficult to use
I will continue to stay at DaVinci as long as the service remain top tier. The employees are pleasant and welcoming. They provide world class service 24 hours.
Fantastic hotel. Good restuarant and food. Good and welcoming employees. I always look forward to returning.
fantastic location. bit of a drive from airport. safe, comfortable, very nice rooms and great staff. connected to nearby mega shopping mall with everything you need. picked over the internet for safety and location, and it delivered. breakfast is very layback, so don't be in a rush, but Capsicum, the chef, will do anything within his power to accommodate you. oh, um, l picked up a new habit for this lovely hotel... breakfast mimosas.... cheers
It is a spacious room and is located in the heart of the city. While the staff are being pleasant, by and large, cleanliness and responsiveness are beyond comprehension.
I had a wonderful stay and the place is very clean and it smells good. I had a great experience overall.
We had a wonderful time there; the room was beautiful and very well equipped with everything one usually needs when traveling: all the amenities, bottled water, a hair dryer, very comfortable beds and pillows, and a good-sized desk. In addition, the room and bathroom were very clean, which is important. Breakfast at the restaurant was great; the buffet offered a wide variety of options, and there was also a menu with several hot breakfast choices. The staff was very friendly and helpful, both at the hotel and in the breakfast restaurant. And the fact that the hotel is located inside the shopping center is definitely a plus.
“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful staycation at Da Vinci Hotel. The experience was seamless, and every detail exceeded expectations. A perfect retreat close to home.
Good atmosphere
Room beds
Rooms were nice and clean. Location was nice, greeting staff was excellent.
The pool side staff, tables always needed to be cleaned, and many times I wasn't even asked if I would like anything.
Clean facilities
Aircon running making noise the whole night
We only had an overnight scheduled as it was part of a tour package, but it was a very nice place to stay. If we were to stay longer, would definitely stay there again.
The bathrooms were clean and the breakfast was good and so was the restaurant staff. The location was very convenient
The rooms were not what I expected, the beds not as comfortable as I thought they would be. The rooms were also not that clean and they had a funny smell
This hotel staff made me feel special, they knew me by name and it felt like everyone was told about my birthday and they all made me special and made me feel seen and attended to. I really appreciate the personal touch.
The best place to Stay in Sandton with a direct Secure Access to the Sandton City Mall. Great accommodation and service.
Amzing! It was like to be at home, amazing staff, great room and really best location for my meetings.
Keep up the amazing work guys, coming from a 5-star hotel myself I know how challenging the industry can get. All the staff members were extremely helpful and kind.
Our stay at the DaVinci Hotel was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. We were extremely satisfied with every aspect of our visit. The staff is incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, making us feel welcome the moment we walked through the door. The amenities and decor are truly unique—the hotel has a sophisticated, modern style that sets it apart from any other place we’ve stayed. Whether it’s the stunning pool area or the elegant rooms, the attention to detail is remarkable. If you are looking for a seamless experience in the heart of Johannesburg, this is the place to be. We will definitely be back!
The facility is good as always
The service is always poor your staff just dont care
O hotel tem Gente sempre disponível para atender
Extremely impressed with the seamless, luxurious experience, spacious & grand immaculate apartment , excellent service and ultimate proximity to the hub of sandton - a thoroughly enjoyable and highly commendable booking experience - thank you !
The trip was my wife's 50th birthday surprise celebration from CT to GP. She turned 50 on the 15th March.
Always an amazing experinece everytime i visit davinci hotel from the concierge,reception in fact all services mazel tov
Sympathique , service accueillant , espace de qualité ! Mes salutations à Samantha du Maximilien et à Véronica du SPA. Pour le menu aussi juste demander une plus grande variété de fruits.
Je n'ai pas eu à vraiment me plaindre. Mes requêtes ont été bien traitées
The place is very clean, staff is friendly and willing to assist. There was a gentleman who came into our room to ask if we needed room service (he had knocked and we did not hear him) - I think the best mode of communication would be to call? Overall it was amazing and the food was the best part!
Da Vinci is the perfect stop for a business trip overnight stop. Gautrain in and out of Sandton, with free shuttle pickup from station. Shopping centre is an elevator trip away.
Excellent location. The apartment set up is very convenient Staff is very friendly and check in/out very efficient
Nothing
Concierge Team is reliable and very helpful. Location is very convenient. Rooms are in incredible condition.
Excellent hotel in perfect location - tip-top service, easy check-inn/out. Delicious bfast and very pleasant staff in general
Excellent staff service at the Maximillien Restaurant, specially Tendani, she rocks! The hotel services are up to my expectations and I go to DaVinci each time I can when in Jo'burg, i.e., when they are not fully booked.
Excellent service and amenities, every time. The team is always willing to assist in abnormal situations and special requests.
Value for money Good Customer Service. ! Guest satisfaction a 100! Excellent breakfast offered Overall experience 10/10
After a long and tiring trip, we enjoyed having a relaxing dinner and drinks at the poolside restaurant. Our room was well appointed and modern. Service excellent. Great location. What more could one ask for?
Clean, safe and super location for anyone visiting Sandton! Also, do not miss the fresh pressed juice every morning. All the staff are amazing to make sure customers are taken care of.
Visited Da Vinci during my 3 day business meeting. Exceptional service by 99% of staff, very helpful / hospitable. Managed to have my meetings easier due to its central and safe location. Professional : value for Money…
A fantastic stay with excellent service, clean and stylish rooms, and very comfortable beds. The staff was friendly and professional, and the location in Nelson Mandela Square is perfect for shopping and dining. Highly recommended for a luxurious and convenient stay in Johannesburg.
Everything
DaVinci Hotel is very conveniently located and directly connected to Sandton City Square, which is a real advantage for both business and leisure travellers. However, the overall service experience did not meet expectations. The attitude and approach of staff at the restaurant, as well as in the lobby area on 5th Street, came across as lacking politeness and customer focus. Interactions felt unnecessarily argumentative rather than solution-oriented. In addition, breakfast service could benefit from greater attentiveness and responsiveness from staff, particularly during busier periods. This is a well-located property, but the hotel would greatly benefit from further staff training focused on professionalism, courtesy, and a more customer-centric approach, which is essential for a hotel of this standing.
Great location, beautiful, cozy room, comfortable beds, direct access to the shopping center and restaurants. We had a very pleasant stay. I recommend the hotel!
The breakfast was incredibly amazing. The staff was very friendly & welcoming. The amenities were great. Not forgetting how convenient the location was.
I like everything about the service I got. Keep it up
Its been our home for years, we love it there
Nothing
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The toilet in our apartment was constantly leaking and wasn't fixed throughout our stay.
Positive: location, friendly concierge and reception staff, lovely spa, thoughful birthday balloons and cake for my daughter’s birthday. Room was nice enough Negative: breakfast was appalling, staff at breakfast were unhelpful and unfriendly, buffet was underwhelming and al la carte was very disappointing, lacking flavour and finesse. Not a nice experience at all!

N/A
Our stay was absolutely perfect. The rooms were beautiful, very clean, and comfortable, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Breakfast was excellent, and the bottomless mimosas were such a great touch. A special mention to Thuso, who served us so well. He was incredibly pleasant, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. Overall, a wonderful experience.
The apartment is good, the second room has small bed.
The bar service very poor, the waiter always take a while to come. Every time have to rise hand and no one see if you are there. Many waiters, but poor service.
Fridge was not working
Excellent service,excellent location,been living here 18 months it’s home for me now.Will definitely recommend.
Breakfast was great and the staff were excellent. Loved the variety of fruits and hot options.
The kitchen in my unit had an odor and there were roaches coming from the floor drain
Once in lifetime experience stay in JHB. The staff from receiving us at the airport to the driver the reception staff and all general staff were extraordinary in all aspects. We can only recommend to anybody going to JHB to stay at the Da Vinci Hotel and Suites, I know that we will be doing it again and again.
My first visit to SA and Johannesburg. Good location and comfy rooms and beds. Friendly staff, 24 hour Gym. Spa. Next to nelson Mandela Shopping Mall and Trumps Grill defienitely worth a visit! hope to come back soon1
Location and gym facilities
Service wasn’t great in the bar
Very happy with our experience even with the G20 going on around us! Loction was perfect with all the shops and restuarants close by
Love the hotel, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The location is brilliant, we felt very safe, it was great to be able to walk into the shopping mall and into Nelson Mandela square where there was some amazing restaurants .
Location
Not enough leisure space
Le.calme et la serviabilite.
C'etait parfait dans l'ensemble
It was nice experience for my first visit to Johannesburg, Rooms were very nice with good facilities
Location. Staff
The apartment needed a lot of maintenance. From the second bedroom toilet which had to be fixed twice. To the AC in the lounge and second bedroom which was old and made noise. The shower head in bedroom one needed replacing. The toaster and fridge that wasn’t working properly. We got given new toaster and new fridge.
Part of a shopping mall in a suburb of Johannesburg which is surposed to be quite safe (though we never left the hotel). Service, room and food in the restaurant excellent. Staff very friendly. Would recommend
