It was okay, but the hotel room was worn out. Front desk was efficient and friendly. Breakfast was fine. Had to go to the waiters station to serve myself coffee after sitting there for a while. The shower wall is frosted glass facing the bedroom, which is kind of awkward unless you're with a significant other.

The staff was very helpful especially when there were raised voices at the bar in the early morning. They quickly addressed the matter then it was quiet shortly after.

Convenient Airport Hotel

Convenient location to the airport. The hotel is somewhat dated but the service is excellent. The restaurant had good food but ran out of desserts. The shuttle is a bit of a walk from the airport terminal but no problems getting to the hotel. The price is highly competitive compared with nearby hotels.

Very handy for JNB airport

We stayed here for one night because our flight was delayed for 13 hours. It is very close to JNB. There was a small reception with drinks and snacks in the lobby and the breakfast is very good. Air conditioner in the room was a tad noisy but overall, very good for a one night stay
