I managed to get to the hotel from Jo-burg airport, the cost was around 350 Rand. The first thing that grabbed me was that there is plenty of security up at the main entrance. Checking in was straightforward and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, large and very spacious, decor was very good as well. The bathroom... more

This was my first time to stay at the Southern Sun on Katherine Street and I am so happy that I've made the choice to stay there! The hotel is located between Bryanston and Sandton, which connects fairly easily to Fourways and the airport, depending on the traffic. What is particular about this hotel is that your room is not... more

Decent rooms (I had one with a view to quite inner garden), safe box in the room, great breakfast. Enjoyed a small open air cafe next to the pool inside and the Greek cafe Mythos (on the 2-nd Fl. of the retail building across the street). more

Plus points: big rooms, fantastic shower, friendly staff, pretty gardens Minus points: taxi needed to go anywhere (50R to Sandton Sq), bar shuts very early (10:30pm) more

The Southern Sun Katherine Street is reminiscent of a resort hotel with it's low rise construction and bar and restaurant around a small pool and set in pretty gardens. It has quickly become an oasis away from... more

This is a great find - it feels like a Country Club, with your rooms being located like bungalows in the grounds. Very central Sandton location, with easy acess but also away from the traffic hot-spots two blocks away. Rooms are of palatial size; my standard room felt like my own studio. Very pleasant dining and bar area beside the... more

Centrally located just 5 min drive from Sandtons main shopping area, this hotel was a great find. The staff were wonderful and accommodating, the breakfasts were fabulous and the rooms were large, spacious and well equipped, not to mention spotlessly clean. Best shower I have had in a hotel in a long time, apart from when there was no hot... more
