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

2/10 Poor

Unfriendly and outdated
Check in took half an hour. The rooms are super outdated. Rooms keys had to be replaced. Food was hit and miss. But perhaps the biggest concern was just how unfriendly most of the staff were. We were supposed to stay there again when flying out of Joburg but cancelled cause the hotel is just not worth it.

December 2025 vacation.
The Reception, hotel service and hotel transport to and from the Airport is exceptional. We found the personnel to bee friendly and very helpfull.However, our room were a bit dated and is showing wear and tear. Overall, this is a great hotel to stay in.

6/10 Good

Not amazing, but not terrible.
It's obviously an older hotel, but does the job just fine for just before or after landing at OR TAMBO. Some of the rooms don't have a mini fridge, and none of the rooms I stayed in had a microwave. The drains in the shower and sinks could use a good bit of work. The beds and linens are comfortable and the blackout shades work well. The food at the buffet isn't great, but not terrible either. Is it the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in? Definitely not. Would I stay again? Probably.

Pior hotel da rede. Evite.
Hotel decadente, velho e mal cuidado. Nem o piso do corredor é plano. Quarto sem frigobar, sem toalhas suficientes, sem amenidades de banho. Serviço ruim, café da manhã fraco. Restaurante OK para quem chega tarde no aeroporto, transfer também OK. Mas é só.
