Aam travelling to SA on some work conference in Aug. The company will give me monies to pay for accomondation. Am told the rates are in the range of USD 100. Can I get some nice but cheaper hotels the likes of marble arch...

am sure there are many wazuans in SA? Help a brother to save

Cheap is expensive. What is the point in staying in some dirt cheap outfit in one end of town and using a taxi to and from the conference every day? My advise, if it a conference chances are they have recommended some hotels that they have negotiated rates and transport with. If you still looking for cheap you can stay at one of the Formula 1 hotels, cheap, great for a shopper but would no recommend them for someone staying more than 3 days.

@Giko. My mind is made up on what kind of accommodation I want. If I can get a '680' type hotel near the venue, I see no need to staying at Serena. So do you have any names of so called Formula 1 hotels?

Formula 1 is a chain of many hotels. Find one near where the conference is on the internet i.e. Google 'Formula 1 hotels in Sandton'

@gathinga - Ive stayed at a formula one hotel in Sandton. Good and cheap accommodation... plus you can sleep up to 3 people in their rooms. They provide breakfast only (unless they have changed now).
