Friendly staff, excellent food options in the hotel, close proximity to the city center, all of these contributed to a wonderful stay. The hotel room carpet felt a little bit dirty but that's my only real concern for an otherwise quality hotel.

Fantastic hotel option in Joburg
I travelled with my family to Johannesburg in July 2023. We had a wonderful experience during our stay at the Holiday Inn Johannesburg Sunnyside. The staff was friendly and always ready to assist, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hotel's location was conveniently situated for tour pickups and in a safe area, making it easy for us to explore the city. Moreover, we thoroughly enjoyed dining at the on-site restaurant; the food was absolutely delicious. We had the buffet for breakfast and dinner, but a la carte options were also available. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others looking for a pleasant and satisfying stay.
