An acceptable hotel, but not very grand and not very near the airport (and with only an hourly shuttle bus to the airport).

This was OK. A bit further from the airport than you'd hope. However planes do fly overhead, closely and noisily. Breakfast is a big spread. Rooms are OK. We stayed here twice, Southern Sun once and Dove's Nest once, of these DN was our preference if the hotel is just a stopover. But we wouldn't not stay here again.

Enjoy the spacious lobby as you enter the hotel. It's the only Grand thing you're likely to experience here. Rooms were small but you could live with that. If only everything worked like it should in a hotel air travelers frequent. We had problems with the air conditioning in our room, as did our friends staying at a different wing of this hotel. Temperature was extremely hot and this resulted in a very unpleasant evening. Employees were uninterested in the problem and could not have been less helpful.

You might be able to live with some of this if the place would at least serve some decent food. We had the breakfast buffet included with our room rate and bought the dinner buffet. The food was extremely poorly prepared, largely tasteless and presented in an unappetizing manner. How a restaurant can "blow" items like fresh fruit and fried eggs is hard to understand but somehow the Grand managed.

Next time I'd take the Gautrain into the city. There's lots more to do and see here. Don't stay at the Grand.

We had to find an one-night accomodation, because of a connecting flight next morning. We found the Airport Grand a nice option. Not too expensive (EUR 80), clean rooms and close to the airport. The is an nice outside terrace to unveil the sensual moments of the day :-). Breakfast is good.
The free airport shuttle departs very closely to the arrival hall (just behing the hotel Intercontinental, pass the hotel on the left hand side) and the hotel is only 10 min drive from the airport.
