Great hotel with free shuttle to and from the airport. The buffet breakfast and dinner were great. Than being said it is not close to the city but you can easily get an Uber to and from the hotel. If you want to be near the airport this is a great choice.

Sadly not a great hotel. Booked a superior king room and it was far from superior. Arrived at the hotel and advised by receptionist that they had moved our room to a much larger room. Didn’t look any different from what we booked to be honest. Carpet was worn, decor overall was dated, bathroom very dated- struggle to even figure out the shower the next morning. Originally also booked for our return trip back to Johannesburg but since cancelled and booked into another hotel. Best part about this place was Rosie O’Grady bar, the hotel staff and the transfer staff.

It simply is a place to sleep and nothing more or less. There was a strange musty smell in the hallways and the building itself could use major upgrade. Buffet breakfast nice but other dining limited. Staff efficient but not particularly friendly.

Garden Court offers a great breakfast.

We have stayed at the Garden Court before and the overall stay was the great. The breakfast is excellent. However, when we arrived at the hotel, they had no record of our booking. They eventually found it on Expedia.com and had to create a new booking for us. It took over an hour to get our accommodations sorted out.

A stay near airport

The room is old and in need of maintenance. The outdoor swimming pool had a lot of bugs in it. Also they were painting the hallway so my room got a very strong paint odor. Breakfast was great with many choices of selection. The free shuttle to the airport was also a plus.
