Great airport hotel.

Great location next to the airport in Johannesburg. Excellent breakfast buffet. Service for lunch in bar was slow. Shuttle was convenient.

10/10 Exceptional

We liked this hotel, I wish that face cloths ( wash cloths) were provided. It’s a shame to use big hand towels just for a small wash up.
Burdette, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

All good. After exiting bag-claim, it was easy to get to the bus to the hotel. The bus is clearly marked and runs every 15 minutes. Staff is very nice and attentive.

Comfortable and convenient

A comfortable overnight stay between flights. We really enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese and the relaxed vibe at the hotel. When I had an unexpected ingredient in a dish I ordered (allergy), the chef very kindly remade it for me without it. It was delicious!

Ideal for an overnight at the airport. Service is great and shuttle runs every 15mins 24hrs a day. Very comfy bed.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient location if in Johannesburg for a short visit or just overnighting. The hotel is a 10 minute shuttle from the airport, which runs every 15 minutes and also is free. The hotel is full service, complimentary breakfast and also has a regular bar and restaurant. The rooms are quiet and very comfortable.

A really enjoyable stay in clean rooms and excellent staff and good range of lovely food. My personal disappointment was no pink gin - but apparently not a common drink in SA.
