Lido Hotel
This location is outside of the city, not much to do in the area, during my 1 night stay there was no wi-fi and the staff did nothing to solve the problem.

NH Johannesburg Sandton Hotel
Excellent hotel in Sandton, close to everything you need and with a shuttle. Staff were super friendly and helpful throughout my visit. Only downside - you are advised not to walk around after dark and even get an uber late at night on the dark streets felt a little sketchy. If I am in Johannesburg ...
