Convenient hotel in Johannesburg for a few day stay
We will arrive in JNB on May 2 and spend a few days there until going on to CPT for a conference. Can you recommend a hotel that is near transit and easy to get to various sights such as Art on Main or Apartheid Museum? We don't need luxury, but clean is necessary. A spot near the Gautrain might be a good thing, too.

We stayed at the Radisson Blu Gautrain. It is opposite the Gautrain Station in Sandton.

As Cheetah_SA mentioned the Holiday Inn Rosebank is a good option and a short walk from the Gautrain station. Good variety of places to eat and shopping nearby.
This is the location of the Radisson Blu Gautrain which is near Sandton City with its range of upmarket stores and places to eat. I think Rosebank is a slightly better option if you plan on visiting Joburg CBD for Art on Main.

We did the same thing a few years back. Flew into JNB stayed a couple days. Then we flew on to Mauritius and Reunion for holidays. We stayed in Rosebank at the Winston Hotel. It was very nice and I would recommend it. We took the Gautrain from the airport and walked to the hotel from the Rosebank station. Its near a nice commercial area with restaurants. We did a day tour that took us to Soweto (we did not want to get a car for a short period of time).
Good luck!
Good luck!
How about them Donkeys as we call the Broncos when they play poorly? Thanks for the help.
