“Illovo Central @ Sandton presents a split experience; some guests have faced check-in issues, which is a shame because once inside, the apartments are clean and modern. I think the rooftop pool with its city views is the real draw, along with kitchenettes that add genuine convenience. While it has some operational kinks, the location near Sandton City and the Gautrain station remains a strong selling point.”
