This property is close to the airport but right under a flight path. Rooms are well used but clean. Staff is polite. Breakfast was hotdog not sausage on the English breakfast and the coffee one of the worst I have had. Price was good and transport was on time. For a budget minded stay it’s not bad

mick

The staff were good. The meals were nice in the restaurant. The beds were comfortable though small doubles. No fans in the toilet / shower. No air con or heater for that matter. Needs some maintenance. Close to airport. Not close to shopping centre you could walk to. Front room was very noisy from internal car and bike traffic. Away from the driveway was a lot quieter

Lord

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Stayed 4 nights, Staff happy and polite. Food was basic, cooked but not prepared on site. The ice cream was worth having with every meal, which I did. No air conditioning. The airplane noise was not that intrusive. The pool was cleaned every day. The shower ran hot and cold when it felt like it. Overall good value for money. Would not want to stay there long term. Would I stay there next time I was in Johannesburg, I definitely would.
