This is an ideal location for an overnight stay for connections around Joburg Airport! A regular shuttle every 30 minutes gets you from airport to hotel door in 5 minutes. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms a little tight - but imaginative. Food and bar does an adequate job - with great staff. If you’re a Marriott Bonvoy member you can collect points here too. We had flown in after a 14 hour flight - and this was a welcome place to freshen up, sustain ourselves and sleep on clean sheets ready for an early connection next morning. Well done to the staff of the hotel. They know what the hotel is there for - an inexpensive stopover - but they made it comfortable.
