Excellent breakfast, very supportive, polite and professional staff, very good restaurant, very convenient location with shuttle services to / from airport, clean and well-appointed room.

Highly recommended hotel close
Pros:

We were only passing through Joburg for the night so wanted a hotel close by to the airport. We were very happy with the complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport. Check-in was efficient and the room and bed were very comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent.
