Unfriendly and outdated

Check in took half an hour. The rooms are super outdated. Rooms keys had to be replaced. Food was hit and miss. But perhaps the biggest concern was just how unfriendly most of the staff were. We were supposed to stay there again when flying out of Joburg but cancelled cause the hotel is just not worth it.

Safe clean. Buffet is great. Electrical Outlets in rooms outdated. I could not use my cpap even though i have international converters. I would highly recommend it. Near airport. Shuttle every 15 minutes. Very convenient.

A/C could have worked better. Staff was great and hotel was clean. Breakfast buffet was worth the price of the room by itself. Will always stay here when I’m in Joburg.

The Reception, hotel service and hotel transport to and from the Airport is exceptional. We found the personnel to bee friendly and very helpfull.However, our room were a bit dated and is showing wear and tear. Overall, this is a great hotel to stay in.

Not amazing, but not terrible.

It's obviously an older hotel, but does the job just fine for just before or after landing at OR TAMBO. Some of the rooms don't have a mini fridge, and none of the rooms I stayed in had a microwave. The drains in the shower and sinks could use a good bit of work. The beds and linens are comfortable and the blackout shades work well. The food at the buffet isn't great, but not terrible either. Is it the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in? Definitely not. Would I stay again? Probably.
