Sandton Splendid Apartment 510 Power Backup Water Backup

Sandton Splendid Apartment 510 Power Backup Water Backup Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Sandton Splendid Apartment 510 Power Backup Water Backup — yes, that’s actually the full name, and honestly, those backup systems are more important than you’d think in Johannesburg — I was struck by how this four-star property manages to feel both upscale and genuinely homey. The building on Fredman Drive sits right in the heart of Sandton’s financial district, and you can tell immediately why couples rate the location so highly. There’s something reassuring about having your own apartment space rather than just another hotel room, especially when you’re staying for more than a night or two.

The Apartment Experience

What really sets this place apart is the full kitchen setup — I mean, you’re not just getting a mini-fridge and a kettle here. The apartment is properly equipped for actual cooking, which becomes incredibly valuable when you realize how expensive dining out in Sandton can get. The space feels more like a well-appointed city flat than typical hotel accommodation, and that power backup system they mention in the name? Well, let’s just say you’ll appreciate it during load shedding periods that still occasionally hit the area.

Location Advantages

Being right on Fredman Drive puts you within walking distance of Nelson Mandela Square and Sandton City — honestly, you couldn’t ask for better positioning if you’re here for business or upscale shopping. The Gautrain station is close enough that you don’t need to worry about airport transfers, and there’s parking on-site which is actually a bigger deal than it sounds in this part of town. I’ve stayed in other places around here where finding secure parking becomes a daily headache, so having that sorted is genuinely valuable.

Practical Comforts

The water backup system might seem like an odd thing to highlight in a hotel name, but anyone who’s spent time in South African cities knows that consistent water pressure isn’t always guaranteed. Here, you actually get reliable hot water and decent pressure — small things that make a huge difference to your daily routine. The apartment itself is well-maintained and clean, with enough space that you’re not constantly bumping into your travel companion. The windows offer decent views of the Sandton skyline, though honestly, you’ll probably spend more time appreciating the reliable wifi and air conditioning.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.6 location rating from couples makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here — you’re genuinely in the center of everything that matters in Sandton, but the apartment setup gives you privacy and independence that regular hotels can’t match. The combination of practical amenities (those backup systems really do work), solid location, and apartment-style comfort creates something that feels more like having a well-connected local base than just passing through another hotel. It’s particularly good if you’re here for an extended business trip or want to explore Johannesburg at your own pace without constantly eating out or dealing with hotel schedules.

Reviews of Sandton Splendid Apartment 510 Power Backup Water Backup

• Wonderful – Ipeleng from South Africa – September 1, 2025 (9/10)

• Exceptional – Kegomoditswe from South Africa – August 30, 2025 (10/10)

• Bad – Davies from Zimbabwe – July 7, 2025 (1/10)

  What could be improved: The place was dirty, right from the door mat. The glass partitions had finger marks and I managed to right "clean me "on the dusty TV stand. There were ants in the kitchen. The bathroom was dirty and we were not sure whether the towels were clean. There was a water outage for two days and we expected her to phone and find out how we were coping. They charged us 300 Rands for a once off cleaning although we stayed for five days. The day the cleaning was done, one of the replacement pillowcases was old and torn and the bedsheets were not replaced. We would never recommend anyone to stay at this facility for this amount of money.

• Wonderful – Jjw from United Kingdom – May 17, 2025 (9/10)

• Beautiful apartment in a secure block. Loved it! – Shane from South Africa – April 26, 2025 (9/10)

  The rooftop clubhouse and pool. Great security. Card access needed per floor which is excellent for peace of mind. Such a lovely big shower and comfortable bed.
  
  What could be improved: The fridge had a bit of smell. One small bin on the balcony is not sufficient for any rubbish.

• Excellent place – Bothasitse from South Africa – March 29, 2025 (9/10)

  Dressing Mirror please

• Exceptional – Mr from South Africa – March 25, 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment is very clean, and it looks even more nice than on the pictures. The roof top with the swimming pool is a must go when you are in this apartment. I also liked that it's very close to Sandton City, just a few minutes' walk. I'm definitely booking here again.
  
  What could be improved: I liked everything about the apartment and the complex.
