Great stay at the Holiday inn Rosebank. Perfect location to take the train to Tambo. Malls and restaurants right next door. Staff was very friendly and room was clean and well appointed with free bottle water, WIFI and amenities. Buffet breakfast was fantastic with lots of options and food was tasty.

The location of this hotel was perfect. We were able to walk to The Zone for great restaurants each day and even a little shopping one day. There are nightstands on each side of the bed and outlets above each nightstand to allow us to charge our phones nearby while we slept. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable, but the bed was large and… Read more
The location of this hotel was perfect. We were able to walk to The Zone for great restaurants each day and even a little shopping one day. There are nightstands on each side of the bed and outlets above each nightstand to allow us to charge our phones nearby while we slept. The pillows were extremely uncomfortable, but the bed was large and firm. The room was very spacious with nice closet space, however, the shower was so poorly designed that the gap in the glass panels necessarily meant a bathroom flood with each shower. Housekeeping came really late (14:00-15:00) one day when we had an early morning activity and wanted to spend the afternoon napping, so we had to hang out in the sun by the pool when it was time for housekeeping on our floor. Overall, the staff were so accommodating when I requested additional towels, bottled waters, and to-go breakfast boxes for our early morning. The breakfast buffet has so many different options to accommodate all tastes (definitely worth purchasing a room with breakfast). Read less

Such bad experience at Check in. Arrived just after 2pm. Room was first ready and then not. Then I had to wait a few minutes - after longer than 20 minutes I had to enquire again if the room was ready. Lizzy who was (or not) assisting me then very rudely said that she is assuring a customer who was behind me in the queue - and then said room will… Read more

Lizzy who was (or not) assisting me then very rudely said that she is assuring a customer who was behind me in the queue - and then said room will be ready in 5 min. I’m still waiting. This is how they treat their loyalty members😵‍💫😵‍💫 Read less

Horrible experience at Holiday Inn Rosebank, which seems to have a habit of overbooking and then feeding guests stories before off-loading them to other hotels. I had booked well in advance directly with Holiday Inn and am a long time member of IHG Rewards loyalty programme. However, when I arrived at he hotel on 22 August they claimed not to have my booking. When I presented my confirmation they gave me some story about the booking "hanging" in their system which I don't believe. After much delay and uncertainty they tried to offload me to a hotel I'd never heard of in a worse location. I was not the only one bumped. There were several other guests, including a family with young children, who were being told different stories (e.g. room is flooded) and also bumped to other hotels. theyt had obviosuly given priority to a large corporate group, but I didn't like vbeing lied to, such as being told all rooms are currently occupied, which was untrue as many people had not yer checked in. I had to be very persistent to get a comparable hotel nearby, and after keeping me waiting an hour and a half with minimal communication and no offer of even a complimentary coffee, they finally agreed to transfer me to the Voco. Thank you Holiday Inn for causing a previously loyal guest 90 minutes of stress and anxiety, because of your overbooking and lack of priority or care to IHG Rewards members. Choose this hotel at your own risk. Read less

Holiday Inn rosebank hotel is located at the center of rosebank and there is a gautrain station just in front of the hotel entrance and also you can access to the rosebank mall directly from the hotel. The entire team on this hotel was super friendly always willing to welcome the guests with pleasure. Breakfast on the 2nd floor served by variety of food selection of which including a cheese plate and an egg station was just enough to boost energy to start up the day. The food served from the hotel restaurant was with a reasonable price so that I could enjoy delicious food without going out for dinner. I would definitely say that it's worth the money to stay in this place. Although I had a concern about the city Johannesburg before the trip but at least in this rosebank area which was totally safe to hang out and walk around the streets with no stress. I had such a great experience in Johannesburg and willing to come back in the future. Thank you once again to leave this beautiful country with good memories. It's was such a pleasure to stay here.
