Cozy place away from home.

My stay here was short by necessity but the friendly staff and the clean, tidy room made the brief time spent here very enjoyable. Check in was fast and efficient, as was check out. The breakfast was made fresh to order in the morning. The inclusion of breakfast in the room rate made it value for money to me. The location is nice and close to the airport so travel times were nice and short. Yes this comes with the downside of hearing planes overhead but the sound did not interfere with sleep. There is security at the gate round the clock to open up for guests who do travel in and out.

The property is located right across from the airport, in a convenient location. Very limited dining option, almost non-existent WiFi, and had electricity only half the time I was there. This meant no tv, no air, no water on the sink, no water on the toilet, no internet, no lights, etc.

Adequate. Very noisy surroundings. The front staff was not willing to help us order pizza- no suggestions or assistance in making a call to order. As a result we never got a delivery and cancelled our Uber eats order.

I like the convenience of being close to the airport and shuttle service to and from airport. The staff are efficient and very helpful and friendly. Assitance to take luggage to your room. I like that the room was very clean. The linens was white and fresh. Bed was comfortable. It is an older place so not very up to date. The shower taps didn't work easy and, I did thought the towels is very thin. An upgrade on new towels will Add more to the experience. The shower was clean but could perhaps do an intensive clean on tiny spots of mold, and new filling by sink. Although overall the room and bathroom was clean, the lace curtain in bathroom needs a wash aswell the curtians & lace curtians by the small windowsill è However there is new smart television in room.

The shuttle service is a joke...they were not at the airport to meet us although detsils were sent to them weeks before we arrived. Ehen we eventually got through to them they turned up to pick up 3 of us our 5 suitcases and 3 hand luggages in a salon car. Two of us were crushed in the back seat with luggage almost on top of us. When we got to the hotel they had no room for us and said we would be sent to another place a guest house belonging the the Hotel owner's brother. We had a further wait then to be taken to a small guest house 10 minutes away. These people are terrible...

I arrived Johannesburg at past 1Am and this guest house was closed for the day, I had earlier sent them a message of my flight details and arrival time. They were locked and said the room had been given to someone else. That they tried to call me. How do you call someone who is airborne? When I sent a message why didn’t I get a response? I was left in the cold night stranded and the staff who I met outside was very rude to me. Saying they are fully booked

NOT AS ADVERTISED- BE WARNED

When we went to check in we were told there were no rooms despite prepaying. This in itself is unacceptable. We were then put into an establishment next door which was very tired to say the least. It was more like a backpacker location with four beds in one room. The mattresses were so hard they were virtually solid, so much so that I couldn’t sleep. Was unable to watch TV as that didn’t work. The toilet was broken and so was the shower, although as you couldn’t control the temperature it’s probably just as well. Lighting was dodgy if fact there was not one redeeming feature. And we were told these were the nicer rooms. Breakfast was as disappointing as the room. When I get back home and have access to a phone I will be contacting Hotels.com to demand a refund.

Bad experience

I have used this Guest house a few times and each time the customer service gets gradually worse, when i arrived the airport shuttle took well more than an hour to pick me up and when i asked for the shuttle back the day before i left they refused to give me one as my check in was at 4.50am, their excuse was that "our shuttles would only do either 5am or 4am" which i felt was unfair, i never the less got an uber. Also upon arriving at the Guest house i told the reception desk that the last time i was there a month or two before i had a flash drive with work documents taken from my stuff by their cleaning staff they seemed not to care and didn't indicate that anything would happen or even give a hint of being apologetic, i am disappointed and would love to see this change.

Com excelente custo-benefício, ótimo para quem quer descansar em uma conexão longa entre voos. A Guest house é muito próxima o aeroporto O.R. Tambo, o que facilita o deslocamento. Ainda, oferece transfer do hotel para o aeroporto gratuito, partido em intervalos de 1 hora. Para transfer do aeroporto para o hotel, cobra-se pelo serviço, bem como se o hóspede quiser realizar o transfer do hotel para o aeroporto fora dos horários oferecidos. O café-da-manhã é o básio que funciona, você preenche uma ficha marcando dentre as opções disponíveis o que você deseja e ele é preparado na hora. De modo geral, valeu a pena DEMAIS!
