Hard to believe that a 4 star hotel would have a grimy lavatory and staff that don't seem to care for offering tentative service. For starters I signed for room 228 but was allocated room 109 on the 22nd April 2013. Little did I know that I'd be walking into a dormitory kind of room. I was shocked to see... More

Was a good hotel, comfortable beds and stunning gardens. The reception was pleasant and very helpful. Only downside is the cleaning staff knocking on the door at 8am wanting to clean the room - my suggestion - start the cleaning process at 10 so that it coincides with the check out people

For City Centre, Braamfontein or Parktown, this hotel is great! They provide Olde Worlde charm and hospitality in peaceful grounds. Also very reasonably priced. I've only stayed there for business and one or two nights at a time and never had a complaint. In the old section this time which isn't as nice as the new section.

I stayed here for 6 nights on a business trip. The location for me was great as I was close to where I had many of my meetings but otherwise you are pretty isolated. The grounds are very nice and the building itself is a nice change from chain hotels. I liked the restaurant and the pub - neither was... More

The Sunnyside Park Hotel is indeed a beautiful hotel nested in a lush garden with wonderful trees and lovely birds as well as nice litte curio-like sculptures. The buffet dinner is very nice and the food tasty but it could really be more varied. I was in the old wing and the rooms there and the public areas are in... More

It's a real pity. It's a shame. The Sunnyside Park Hotel has history and grace, a useful location and doesn't have the soulless polish of a modern hotel. However, the age shows. The rooms are old and tired, internet connectivity is basically non-existent and the rickety lifts and staircases one needs to traverse to get to far-flung rooms inspire concern.... More

This hotel is very conveniently situated and offers good service, comfortable rooms, pleasant staff and excellent breakfasts in a great atmosphere. I have stayed there many times now and I am always happy to return. The hotel building is a national monument, and visitors should be aware of that: many parts of it cannot be changed - and should not... More
