“Got a lot better!”

Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

When I do business in Africa, I fly through Johannesburg (OR Tambo) Airport a lot, and sometimes need to stay over. I have tried a few of the airport hotels, and have found this to be good, without breaking my piggy bank. (The Intercontinental is nearly flawless and is right next to the terminal, but costs about 400% more). Anyway,... More

“Wifi scam”

Reviewed 16 June 2013 NEW

This is a business hotel with clean but small rooms which are bit inconvenient as already mentioned in a review since shower is in the room. Service and breakfast are fine. Airport shuttle only comes every 30 minutes, so you may need to wait on arrival. Main problem was that wifi is charged by MB rather than by hour, and... More

“Airport Convenience”

Reviewed 12 June 2013

I stayed one night here before continuing on to Cape Town. I did not think the airport shuttle was difficult to find. I asked for directions at a big information desk in the middle of the terminal. As others stated there are lots of guys who will approach you asking if you need help with a shuttle - just ignore... More

“Unique airport hotel”

We arrived into Johannesburg airport and walked across the road to the bus terminal, this is where the hotel shuttle busses run from. The Protea OR Tambo Airport shuttle runs every 30 mins (on the hour and half hour). The return shuttle runs every 30 mins but at 15 and 45 past the hour. The journey only takes about 15... More

“The Worst Shower”

Reviewed 10 June 2013

We just completed a one-night stay. Unfortunately the layout of the room, particularly the bathroom, spoils an otherwise decent hotel. While the toilet is in a separate small room the shower area is not separated at all from the sleeping area. A glassed-in shower is literally one foot from the bed. There is no door to the shower area; there... More

“Handy Transit Hotel”

Reviewed 9 June 2013

This hotel is about 10 minutes from the airport and there is a free shuttle every half hour at the bus area after you exit the departure hall. Check-in was quick and easy and the standard room was as expected. I paid US$105 for the night without breakfast. Breakfast was about US$20 which was very good with plenty of options.... More

“Unusual warehouse style that works”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

This is really a great transit hotel, if you are either meeting people in Joburg, or in transit through Joburg airport. There is a shuttle service every half an hour. The hotel has an unusual warehouse theme, which I liked. The rooms were fine, and clean, with everything I needed. The restaurant was busy, so I opted for the buffet,... More

Stayed just one night here unfortunately, the hotel was spotlessly clean. Area round the pool was superb. Room was basic but suited us just fine.
