We stayed for three nights in this very nice hotel which is located in front of the Union Building. The hotel is very nice, staff are great, and breakfast was excellent. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable.

No fitted sheet, expected to sleep on mattress protector. Aircon not working. 26° in room. Bath water does not run put. Dummy curtain fell to floor when block out was closed. Definitely not 5 star.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights, arriving at 2PM with a rental car. A nice lady at one of the 3 reception desks copied my passport as I signed an entry sheet, then went to check on our upgraded room before returning to process the card payment and present the key cards. Having included the 80r/day parking fee, we drove to the secure basement, then… Read more
My wife and I stayed 2 nights, arriving at 2PM with a rental car. A nice lady at one of the 3 reception desks copied my passport as I signed an entry sheet, then went to check on our upgraded room before returning to process the card payment and present the key cards. Having included the 80r/day parking fee, we drove to the secure basement, then took our bags up the elevator to the lobby, then one of the 3 elevators up to the 7th floor. Carpeted club room #705 opened to a fully outfitted bathroom(tub and shower stall) across a closet with safe, then a comfortable king facing a large cabinet with a satellite TV(Al Jezzara, CNN, Sky, 3 SABC, 3 sports, 3 movies and more) with a small refer below, then a desk(coffee station) with 2 chairs across a couch, then a large window with a view of a church and park. The spacious room had good AC but intermittent secure WIFI. It was much stronger in the 6th floor club level lounge which provided complimentary drinks and snacks from 5-7PM. The 6:30AM breakfast buffet under their lobby domed room was outstanding; juices, fruit, yogurt, muesli with seeds, soy milk, egg station, hot and cold meats, cheese, breads/jams, muffins and coffee machine choices. I used their 6 station gym and we both used their nice rectangular pool. This 175 room landmark hotel is directly across the Union Buildings and their vast Gardens. Read less

Not only does this hotel desperately need a refit, it has uniquely the most unwelcoming and indifferent staff I have ever encountered in South Africa. Such a contrast to the welcome we had at the previous hotel. I cannot believe that Sheraton puts its name to this beacon of hostility. The customer service team need a rocket up them. The Club… Read more

The Club Lounge is extremely depressing with the very minimum of offerings. Read less

Booked in on 30 January 2023 for 3 days in this "5 star hotel". Within 3 hours was moved to 3 different rooms (Aircon's not working - Temp. 34*C), one room TV cable was stolen. After 3 hours and very hot, I request a full refund. I stayed in a few Sheraton hotels in the States and had only the best service. I booked at another hotel (Protea Hotel… Read more

I booked at another hotel (Protea Hotel by Marriott Pretoria Loftus - 4 star), that was a little more pricy but was excellent. Read less
