The hotel is conveniently located near Johannesburg airport, making it perfect for travelers. The rooms are spacious but could use a bit of updating, and the staff is genuinely helpful. However, my experience was marred by issues with air conditioning and a frustrating checkout process. Overall, it's a decent place for a short stay with good food options.

I had a fine stay at the hotel, which was an excellent choice for a quick overnight near the airport. The restaurant provided a delicious buffet dinner and breakfast, and the staff were welcoming. However, the rooms felt outdated and dark, needing a bit of love to bring them back to life.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, thanks to its convenient location near the airport and the availability of shuttle services. The rooms were comfortable but showed signs of needing some renovations. The dining options were quite good, especially the buffet, but the experience was slightly tarnished by the fact that I had to pay for Wi-Fi, which I think should be complimentary. Overall, it’s a good choice, especially for travelers with meal options and parking availability.

My recent stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The shuttle service to the airport was convenient, and I appreciated the cleanliness of my room. However, the bathroom had several issues, and the noise from the cleaning staff was quite disruptive. On the positive side, the dining experience was very enjoyable, with a great variety of dishes. Overall, it’s a decent airport hotel but certainly in need of some improvements.

I had a mixed experience staying at the Southern Sun. The shuttle service was reliable, operating every 15 minutes, and the food was definitely a highlight with a great buffet. However, the noise and cleanliness issues were disappointing, and my experience with the hot water was frustrating. Overall, it feels like the hotel has potential but needs improvement in certain areas.
