A really enjoyable stay in clean rooms and excellent staff and good range of lovely food. My personal disappointment was no pink gin - but apparently not a common drink in SA.

Airport shuttles every 15 minutes
This is a great hotel at Johannesburg airport. What sets it apart is its airport shuttle services (a shuttle every 15 minutes 24 hours a day).

Convenient Airport Hotel
Convenient location to the airport. The hotel is somewhat dated but the service is excellent. The restaurant had good food but ran out of desserts. The shuttle is a bit of a walk from the airport terminal but no problems getting to the hotel. The price is highly competitive compared with nearby hotels.
