Great location, but otherwise it is quite outdated.
Pros:

The proximity to the airport is perfect. It was easy to find and no more than a 5 minute walk. For an early morning flight or a freshening up for a long layover, it is well located.

Cons:

For R7600 for one night, this hotel should be much better looked after. It has aged and is very tired and worn.

Airport convenience
Pros:

A 5 minute walk from the arrivals area. So convenient

Cons:

The hotel is perfect for an overnight stay. You pay more than other hotels in the area but the convenience is worth it.

Very convenient. Super friendly staff.
Pros:

Right by the airport. No need to get in a shuttle and then right next door to the rental car pickup area.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. I left my kindle behind in the room and they were able to keep it for me until I was able to return and collect it.

Cons:

Pillows aren’t the best
