Southern Sun Pretoria

Last minute booking after a concert in Pretoria, so we expected it to be busy. Staff was helpful. Not a 4 star hotel though. Room smelt like the toilet had a leak. Woke. Up by Taxis started hooting outside at 5am on a Sunday! Breakfast was ok but hotel was very busy

I stayed at the Southern Sun for 2 nights on a business trip. On arrival, the welcome was a bit dull and you are left to figure out where to go by yourself. Check in was smooth and uneventful. Staff at the front desk were OK but could be more friendlier and welcoming. The hotel has a fairly nice lobby though it has limited seating spaces. The room was quite spacious though it was just basic . Most of the things in the room are falling apart e.g. broken light in the bathroom, stained bathroom floors, old furniture etc. The internet in the room was on the slow side. The breakfast was also just basic with limited variety. The restaurant needs some touch ups - it was not the cleanest I have been to and most of the chairs were stained with dirt. Overall, I would say the hotel needs some good tender loving care and upgrading. I recommend the hotel just for short stays.

The place is brilliant, the service and staff are very friendly. However I was in room 322 and I couldn’t get quality sleep due to the endless hooting from vehicles (mostly taxis) outside.The hooting is very frustrating and irritating.
