I have stayed many times at this hotel and will keep returning. The staff are very good. The restaurant is one of the best in Joburg and it is a top-notch venue for conducting business in a warm setting.

great location and a nice clean hotel. Overall, a great product but the staff are slow and uninterested. Housekeeping staff in particular need an attitude review. for people who judge a hotel by its service, this will be a let down.

The Radisson Blu Gautrain is very conveniently located across the road from the Gautrain Sandton station. Getting from and to the airport is efficient and simple to navigate. The hotel services are very good and the shuttle service offered to guests for drop off in nearby vicinity is great. The food service is excellent.

I stayed here for 2 nights on my way through Johannesburg for business. Let me start by saying that I like the Radisson Blu chain for hotels when I travel on business.

There were no surprises with this hotel, very business like and typical of all Radisson Blu hotels around the world. The location was perfect if you used the Gautrain from Joburg airport which I did.

I arrived very early in the morning - before published check-in time, but had been booked into the Radisson Blu, Sandton, as opposed to Gautrain. As my colleague was also staying at the Gautrain; it seemed pretty pointless going to the other hotel. I was a bit disappointed that I had to pick up my luggage to make the trip... More
