Holiday Inn Johannesburg Sunnyside Park

Good Hotel and nothing too much trouble for any member of staff. Very helpful reception people and choice of main restaurant and 'pub' on site for food. Very comfortable atmosphere, historical building with good garden area and swimming pool.

Nice ambiance

One major shortcoming. I stayed at the hotel on the night of 7 October. It was the night of World Cup qualifying tournament. Much to my surprise the hotel does not have the football channel SS 3.Given that the World Cup is occurring in South Africa next year, this is a major oversight. You will have a number of overseas visitors in the hotel who will be unable to see the football

I stayed in many international hotels and the value for money was excellent. In this I include the stunning atmosphere - there was never a feeling of being slap bang in a city

The food, the service (mostly) and the convenience of the location.

The misleading room advertisement. When booking, I was advised that "Located in the former stables, these suites lead out onto the landscaped garden and feature a king-size bed and separate lounge" - but there was no separate lounge at all. I have stayed there previously in the new wing and those rooms are larger (yet cheaper) than the stable room I selected this time.
