Sandown Guest House

I had a lovely stay at your property. Staff is amazing and super friendly. Location is great and close to the Gautrain Station and lovely restaurants. It is a lovely silent area, swimming pool and everything you need in your room. I can recommend this property for any business person or if you want to go to Johannesburg for leisure.

I would highly recommend Sandown Guest House. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel right at home, they were warm and friendly. The rooms were cozy and clean. The overall atmosphere of the guest house was welcoming and peaceful.

Beautiful, well-appointed guesthouse. The area is pretty – very green – and quiet, but also close to the Sandton city centre. My room was lovely, clean and comfortable, with a spacious bathroom, complete with robe and slippers. I had a balcony overlooking a large, beautiful garden. Lovely little touches in the room and bathroom to make you feel at home. Beautiful communal kitchen and braai (barbecue) area if you want to eat in, but plenty of excellent restaurants within approximately 10 minutes’ driving distance. There are also facilities for very good coffee, and there is an array of drinks on an honesty-bar basis. One of the highlights was an amazing staff member named Rugare, who welcomed us warmly, put heaters on in our rooms as it was very chilly, was available on the premises and on WhatsApp for any assistance needed, and made us a delicious breakfast in the morning, taking extra care to meet my vegan dietary requirements. I would stay at the guesthouse again with pleasure.

The number one thing we loved about this property was the private courtyard we had access to when we booked the king room. It was perfect for us and our two small dogs. Great location. Room was good size. Nice breakfast service. Property is located in a quiet neighborhood, but very close to the most desirable destinations in Sandton. I highly recommend the property. We will visit again!

I stayed one night at the end of November, was booked for two but had to check out early. Negatives: - The place is nothing like the pictures - the outside looked tired and inside all the lights were off when I arrived. There was no warm lighting or ambience and certainly no warm welcome. -The member of staff I met on arrival was cold and unwelcoming which made me feel ill at ease and set the tone. - The place was dirty, particularly the kitchen - fridge had trays of mouldy fruit in it so I decided not to opt for breakfast. - My balcony was filthy and the seats unusable as they weren't covered adequately and were soaked on arrival. - Place was eerily quiet, apparently there was another guest downstairs but I didn't hear another soul and the one member of staff was barely around. - bad smell of drains in my ensuite from both the sink and toilet. Positives: - comfortable bed and clean bedding - good location -very quiet but like I say, missing the buzz of fellow guests and friendly staff that you'd expect in a guest house. All in all, a very strange experience and I couldn't wait to leave. It wasn't like staying in a guest house but rather renting a room in a large house with no one else around.

Excellent service and room was great. Breakfast was excellent. Having such good coffee makes a massive difference in the morning. I would recommend a UPS for wifi access during loadshedding, especially for business travellers
