B&B Johannesburg

On arrival it was difficult to gain entry. House was cold but clean and somewhat dated. Toilet did not flush and after a long drive i was not able to have a comfortable shower. This accommodation is located within the grounds of a convent which i was not aware of. The sisters were lovely but i was disappointed with facilities. It was only an overnight stay to be close to the airport which was good. Some of the wiring gave cause for concern and the rooms had only been recently aired. Sadly i would not stay her again or recommend this guest house. We were offered food by our host which was helpful for our early morning departure. It is due a complete upgrade and refurbishment then it would be a good place to b&b in Sorry but this is my review

Everything was neat and clean. We loved the country setting and beauty of the property. The hosts did a wonderful job of taking care of us even though we needed to make a late night run to the airport. Breakfast was very tasty and our stay was very comfortable. Of course the value is undeniable as well. Overall we were blessed and were grateful to be able to stay here.

Very beautiful environment, not far off the major roads, close to the airport, great value for the money. Good for families. There's no A/C in the room, but not a problem if your stay isn't in the middle of summer.

A good transit stop

We chose gateway as we had to transit in Jo'burg for one night and wanted somewhere close enough to the airport, pleasant and safe. Gateway proved to be an excellent choice. The area is quiet which we liked but we didn't think to take food. The owner kindly drove us to the shops so we could get dinner. Thanks.

Great option near airport!

We used this hotel as a place to sleep before we took a plane the next day, and it was fantastic for us! The value was stupendous! We used the kitchen to cook, and it was perfect. The room was big, with comfortable bed, and the bathroom had a wonderful bath with good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Really worked up so well for us - if you're looking for a good, clean, cheap place to stay, look no further.
