Stayed here 3 nights, 2 separate occasions. It attaches to a mall in Sandton; handy for running to replace things, eat a meal, or get some grocery items at the PIck and Pay.

A faultless stay at a very convenient location. Excellent staff and exemplary services that they provided. Dinner in the restaurant was an unexpected delight - this is not a 'normal' Hotel Restaurant if your in the shopping centre and are looking for a far better than average meal - by pass the 'good' mall restaurants and head for the hotels...

Located in an the "upmarket" suburb of Hyde Park, the Southern Sun Hyde Park hotel is a great location to have sundowners or evening drinks after dinner at one of Hyde Park mall's many amazing restaurants. With a bar area overlooking western Johannesburg, it's the perfect setting to watch breathtaking African sunsets in an urban jungle setting. Another great plus... More

We stayed at the Tsogo Sun for two nights, the hotel is conveniently located, adjacent to the upmarket Hyde Park Shopping Centre. There is also secure covered parking with direct access into the hotel and the shopping centre, which has many good restaurants.

Due to the proximity of our offices (and the overall good location attached to Hyde Park shopping centre) I have stayed at this new Southern Sun (opened sometime in 2011 I think) about ten times already.

Wonderful hotel and staff. The plus factor is that it is attached to a mall.So if your on business you actually have something to do in the evening other than sit in your room and watch tv or prepare memos. Rooms are great. Avoid rooms above the pool and bar as these can get noisy in the evening.

This is the only hotel I will stay in when traveling to Johannesburg. Joined by walkway to the very upmarket Hyde Park shopping centre, makes this a very convenient choice of hotel. Rooms are spacious. Staff are attentive and helpful. Everything about this hotel just works, and works well. Hotel is centrally located.
