The room as not very clean. The shower had mold and was not clean. On the floor there was yelling in the halls and partying until 4 in the morning. The staff did nothing about this. The noise and chaos began again at 8 AM. My luggage was stowed while I was away for a couple of weeks. Upon return they could not find my luggage. It took 20 minutes to find it. It was not tagged properly. I would not stay here again. The price was good, but it was not restful and caused me stress.

Comfortable Rooms. Appreciate the free airport shuttle bus from the BUS TERMINAL area in the airport, picking up every hour. Signs were easy to follow. Only 10 minutes drive from airport to hotel. The breakfast is worth the price. It was a full hot buffet. Very nice. This is a great option for families, as they have rooms with 2 double beds. This is where our family stays for overnight layovers at JNB.

Overall, it was a clean well maintained hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was just perfect and worth the cost. If your room is ready to check in early - you need to pay a few bucks per hour. The shuttle ride to the airport/hotel is on the hourly schedule.

Good Customer service but cleanliness issues

Staff service at breakfast and check in was amazing. The breakfast selection was also outstanding. We unfortunately had a few problems with the room. The room was not as clean as expected (there was a lot of mould in the corner of the room on the roof and there was hair on the beds). On our last day there was no water and I believe there were no water works/disruptions reported that day? The hotel is in a very convenient location for the airport and for shopping but it could be sign posted better on the main road as we found it difficult to find at first.

The holiday is showing its age. The tiles in the bathroom were cracked and the toilet tank is slow to fill up. Good shower. The family rooms are too small for a family of 4. The TV is small and the pillows were uncomfortable. The food was not great. We requested housekeeping and they never showed up. Will not return nor recommend. Convenient distance to East Rand mall and McDonalds close by.

I stayed at this hotel two nights, separate reservations. First room was downstairs and appeared either newer or remodeled with a comfortable bed. Second room was on third flood and was more dated with less comfortable bed. The restaurant was very good, from their breakfast buffet (wide range of hot and cold items), dinner buffet to ordering dinner off the menu. Price was also a good value for the cost of the room and the cost of the meals. I would stay here again.

Really poor condition

Very disappointed with this hotel. Really poorly maintained. Sink was scratched, chipped and stained so bad I couldn’t tell if it was clean. Bathroom small and grungy. Overall room really worn down. Sheets were clean but about the lowest quality you can get. They were staining or painting somewhere and the entire floor smelled of a strong varnishing smell. Restaurant was edible but poor. Was really disappointed given the brand and other good reviews. I never leave bad reviews but thought others should know what to expect. Certainly not what I would expect from this brand having stayed at others around the world. Would not recommend.

The staff was all very friendly, especially Betty, who cleaned our room, and also the wait staff, mainly Happyness, Granny, William, and Lizwe. The restaurant was nice and the food was delicious too. We were also pleasantly surprised that it was quiet there, despite the close proximity to the airport. We appreciated having the airport shuttle too.
