Food was rubbish, we ordered shrimp and calamari and onion rings all came soggy and very clear emptied in to a deep fat... More

“So glad we stopped”

Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

Travelling to and fro, it can get quite tiring. And we didn't want to splurge for the fancy schmancy Intercontinental, but we did have to break our trip to via Joburg airport. So glad we did, so when we departed for Cape Town the next morning we were refreshed. The staff was helpful, but not overly friendly. That was the... More

“Nice and clean airport hotel”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

Nice and clean room, with a huge and very comfortable bed! Two small complains, the transport to/from the airport is each half hour.

“A really good sleep”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

We arrived very tired after a long 15 hour flight from Sydney. We waited about 20 minutes for the shuttle, and check in was a bit slow, but once we got to our room, everything was good. We had an executive room ( slightly larger than the standard) with a separate bath and shower. The room was quiet, you could... More

Stayed twice within one week, not overly happy with the service. When checked in was advised breakfast and dinner was included. When I checked out I was told it wasn't and was told I need to pay. I refused as it was the check in staff members fault. When we had a drink and a snack the afternoon of our... More

We stayed at this hotel in November of last year for a quick 1 night stopover in Johannesburg before going to Cape Town.

Comfortable hotel close to the airport, for transit passengers, as I am when I use it, but still far enough away, even when you can see the planes.
