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.

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.

No heating in cold spell

The room was comfortable but very cold. A call to the maintenance department was promptly answered but he just reset the switch settings which failed to get the room heating working. Otherwise the hotel was OK

OK for a transient, airport hotel but...

Everything was average. But upon checkin staff required that they photocopy our credit card and put up 300 rand in cash to cover added expenses. Allowing someone to photocopy a credit card is a serious security breach. Then on top of that to require another 300 in rand in cash just created suspicions on our part and added uneeded tensions to our stay.

Great hotel nearby airport

Very nice hotel really close to the OR Tambo Airport. We were picked up, after check in we needed to go to the city and we were kindly dropped off in the nearby train station for free. Rooms very clean, nice environment in the bar. The only cons free internet is only a few Mb. Would be better free ulimited access.

Great AIrport Hotel

We needed a hotel for our last night in South Africa and this was perfectly positioned at a fair price. We enjoyed our stay BUT the bar/restaurant area is way too noisy. However the aircraft/airport theme is great fun.

Great place

The hotel was very close to the airport and the free shuttle runs every 30 mins. There is a decent gym which was nice after 30 hours of travel. The room service dinners were very good and the buffet breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Cool airport theme decor. Great pool area and gardens with tons of outdoor seating.
