Short but sweet.
Pros:

The Hotel is conveniently situated near OR Tambo Int. Airport for a stopover night. The service and food were very good.

Cons:

The room was a little bit cramped, but ok for one night. The shower was very slippery and could be dangerous.

No frills but fine
Pros:

It is what it is, i.e. an airport hotel which most people will use for only one night and, as such, is fine. The room was quite small and storage limited, but 'fit for purpose'. Similarly, the food in the restaurant was okay. Importantly, the bed was comfortable, there was a good supply of hot water and the air conditioning/heatering unit worked well.

Cons:

The shuttle bus service that the hotel provides is obviously an important feature and selling point for the hotel. The fact that seats cannot be booked in advance - there was a concern that there might be more people than seats - made us a little anxious. I suggest the hotel give this some thought.
