In a residential neighbourhood near the JNB Airport, this guest house seems mostly suited to back packers. Room had bare fluorescent strips on ceiling for lkighting in was infested with ants. Bed was less than comfortable. Staff indifferent. We ended up having dinner at the airport, as the dining area and menu choices weren't very appealing More

This is definately a budget stay. Transport from the airport was an inconvenience. My plane landed at 22:00 and I had to wait for other guests to land before we left for the guest house. I only got there after 23:00 despite only being 5 minutes from the airport. Rooms are adequit and clean but nothing fancy. Bed was hard... More

If you’ve been up since 0245 GMT and reach arrivals in Johannesburg at 2300 you’d be hard pushed to find a better place to spend the night than the Emerald Inn. Friendly staff, from the guy who picks you up at the airport to the lady on reception and the cook at breakfast in the morning; clean and perfectly adequate... More

We stayed here for two nights and had a brilliand experience. The staff was help full and the Breakfast was excellent. Their is also Two swimming pools and a large garden to relax and enjoy, with a abundance of bird life More

First impressions were good, arrival into the secure compound via free shuttle from OR Tambo airport, can't really fault it. Reception staff polite, accomodating, and helpful. It's a B&B guesthouse, no thrills, the basics, but everything you need. Internet, breakfast, bar, clean sheets. Don't raise any expectations for this stop-over joint, you get what you pay for but it's all... More

We visited the Emerald for the World Cup and compared to similarly priced accommodation in South Africa this was excellent. The beds were comfortable and the transportation to and from the airport and Gautrain was useful in a city that is notoriously difficult to travel in. The bar stayed open late and the company was warm. Believe me, we experienced... More

Only stay here if you need to book one night and need a place close to the airport. This hotel is a 5min drive from the airport so was convenient for us. Our flight arrived at 11pm and we were leaving again at 8am, so all we needed was a bed and a shower. That it did provide. Service appalling.... More

This property looked alot more attractive on the website but in reality was very disappointing. If all you need is a bed very close to the airport, then this option fits the bill. If you are looking for anything more, then look elsewhere. We arrived at about 7pm and the shuttle bus driver was very friendly. The staff at the... More
