This continues to be a an excellent airport hotel. It's not luxury but has everything you need. Excellent value for money. Super convenient for airport use. Great breakfast. Reasonably priced excellent meals for dinner. Great restaurant staff. Highly recommend. Only criticism being their processes for check in and out are a bit clunky and could be improved. That said, this seems to be typical in South African hotels.

The property was nice but the room had a few issues.The phone in the room did not work … very unsafe when you are staying in a foreign city scary no phone service in an emergency. The desk did not tell us the phones were not working. The air conditioner did not work. Guest were having a party until 1 am so after traveling 25 hours we could not sleep, The manger was alerted and we were told he would message or calll but we didn’t get a message,

It's part of Johannesburg airport and is an excellent option for those in transit to other destinations. We stayed here twice -- coming and going and we really appreciated the easy access, comfort, and convenience of the hotel. It's also very economically priced, at least for American travelers.

This is a great value for money hotel right in the airport. Great meals at reasonable prices. Modest rooms but ideal for that quick in and out. Being super critical, check in and out could be streamlined and more efficient. Wish more airport hotels around the world were like this.

Overall the hotel was excellent, my one and only complaint would be that the room we occupied on the dates's 14th- 16th April had alot of noise going on around that area during the night mainly from the metal stairwell, car park and the slamming of doors.Not an ideal side of the hotel to be in if after a long and exhausting flight...and a good nights sleep was needed !
