Outstanding place for airport stay

This was a very nice motel. Great breakfast bar. Clean rooms. For the price I don't think you can get any better. Best for overnight stays for airport. Not sure how well it would work for visiting Joburg.

Met my expectations.

Very well located, clean and comfortable. The only weak points was the 62 minutes waiting for room service and free internet access is just for 100mb (which means nothing).

AMAZING STAFF

Great location to the airport with a free shuttle to and from. All of the staff were pleasant and very helpful and were always smiling. Once inside the modern, comfortable hotel, I had no idea I was near the airport. The bar/lounge area was comfortable and the restaurant served delicious food and had lovely service. The outdoor area with pool and lounge was beautiful and relaxing. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had everything I needed and was very clean. Thanks to all.

Good value. Way too modern. The combined shower-bedroom isn't the best setup.

Modern Airport Hotel

Nice hotel, close to the airport, ideal for overnight stay. Very modern if you like that kind of thing. Only buffet option for breakfast which is greatly overpriced, but they have free coffee while waiting for the complimentary shuttle to the airport.

Quite all right for a transit hotel

Interesting decor -- warehouse - safari cargo look - quite stark. Comfortable room, good internet access. Decent food at the hotel restaurant, though service left something to be desired. Easy to get to through regular shuttle service from the airport. A good deal for a transit hotel, but I wouldn't want to stay there more than a night or two.

Good value for money

I just spent a night, because I was traveling to Cape Town on a early morning. Typical airport hotel. Nice staff. Close enough to the airport.
