This hotel is located just outside O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg. While you will need a taxi, rental car, or shuttle to reach the hotel, the journey is well worth it. There are no nearby dining facilities within walking distance, but the hotel boasts an on-site Irish pub that serves excellent food. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is outstanding. The hotel is fully gated with security measures in place, providing peace of mind during your stay in Johannesburg.
2nd time here while waiting for a late night flight. Short drive to airport so for distance it's a 5. Both times the hotel was clean but unfortunately both times the kitchen didn't deliver! There was either no buns (1st time) or patties (2nd time) for burgers or no bread for toasted sandwiches( 2nd time and no chips so they substituted with onion rings...ice cold and the patty for steak but it was slobbish and unappetising. And quite a wait! The front desk desk are always nice whether on the phone or in person so 5 for them also. Oh...and there was a lot of noise; admittedly it was during the day but I wanted to get a snooze in because I'd not slept the previous night and was traveling. A shout out for the taxi driver they make use of....very reliable and trustworthy.
I stayed overnight prior to a flight. The room was fine, clean, well equipped, TV had English stations and bed comfy. Breakfast was varied (and very busy!) My issue is the ducted air system. Despite having the AC, fan etc off, the system still blows out air and I found it difficult to sleep as a result as very drying. In the morning, my throat, eyes, mouth and skin were very dry which is unhealthy and unacceptable. My throat and eyes are still uncomfortable and dry a day later despite drinking lots of water and buying saline eye drops.
The staff were efficient and cheerful. What more could you ask for? We got the shuttle booked when we checked in, the driver was 15 minutes early. The restaurant servers were helpful and quick. The dinner menu options were a good variety, and the hot breakfast was the best.
This was an amazing place! Celeste was an amazing host. The accommodations are beautiful with a lush, jungle feel. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. What was the most outstanding was the personalized breakfast service and delicious coffee/tea! Celeste was so friendly and helpful. She had such a wonderful demeanor and was so friendly!
