We liked this hotel, I wish that face cloths ( wash cloths) were provided. It’s a shame to use big hand towels just for a small wash up.

All good. After exiting bag-claim, it was easy to get to the bus to the hotel. The bus is clearly marked and runs every 15 minutes. Staff is very nice and attentive.

How can you enjoy your stay at an hotel that looks like a million dollars but the lady at reception treats you like dirt. And when you get to your room which looks excellent you find there is no hot water not even luke warm, icy cold in the middle of winter

6/10

Hotel look nice from outside and in reception but room and corridor looked dated. Dinner Thai chicken curry was poor, not spiced and came with Indian poppadom and pickle tray, not good. Ravioli was drowned in a gloopy mushroom sauce. Breakfast buffet was ok, fairly standard not exceptional in any way. Room beds were comfortable and shower was good. Hotel was cold as was Joburg but there is a heater. Overall ok for a one night stay and airport shuttle is efficient.

8/10

A comfortable overnight stay between flights. We really enjoyed the complimentary wine and cheese and the relaxed vibe at the hotel. When I had an unexpected ingredient in a dish I ordered (allergy), the chef very kindly remade it for me without it. It was delicious!

The location is good because it’s close to the airport and the shuttle service is working well.

8/10

Very convenient location if in Johannesburg for a short visit or just overnighting. The hotel is a 10 minute shuttle from the airport, which runs every 15 minutes and also is free. The hotel is full service, complimentary breakfast and also has a regular bar and restaurant. The rooms are quiet and very comfortable.
