Fine and comfortable. Perfect for airport access
Pros:

Modern inside. The outside looked like a stark factory…but that made sense once inside. It's great for a female solo traveller

Boa opção para quem tem voo no dia seguinte.
Pros:

Havíamos nos hospedado alguns dias antes e voltamos a nos hospedar devido a um voo no dia seguinte. Muito próximo ao aeroporto O.R. Tambo (uns 5 a 10 minutos de carro) e com transporte gratuito a cada meia hora indo e voltando. O hotel é bonito, todo decorado com uma temática de aviões. Ficamos hospedados apenas uma noite, no quarto 216 (da outra vez foo no 520). Cama e travesseiros confortáveis. Há ganchos para pendurar as toalhas. Na TV, vários canais. Há uma garrafa de água como cortesia, além de cafe solúvel, leite e chás. Pedimos jantar no quarto e a refeição foi muito boa e a um preço razoável.

Cons:

Na área do vaso sanitário poderia haver uma ducha higiênica, mas isso é raro fora do Brasil. A o ralo do chuveiro parecia não estar funcionando adequadamente e a água ficou empoçada enquanto tomava banho. O pedal da lixeira so banheiro estava quebrado (não dava para abri-la com o pé). Alguns itens que havia no quarto (do mesmo estilo) em que nós hospedamos dias atrás estavam ausentes, como a cafeteira para café expresso com cápsulas e suporte para sabonete na pia.

Bom custo-benefício e muito perto do aeroporto
Pros:

Muito próximo ao aeroporto O.R. Tambo (uns 5 a 10 minutos de carro) e com transporte gratuito a cada meia hora indo e voltando. O hotel é bonito, todo decorado com uma temática de aviões. Ficamos hospedados apenas uma noite, no quarto 520. Cama e travesseiros confortáveis. Na área do vaso sanitário poderia haver uma duche higiênica, mas isso é raro fora do Brasil. O chuveiro é muito bom. Há ganchos para pendurar as toalhas. Na TV, vários canais. Há uma garrafa de água como cortesia, além de cafe solúvel, leite e chás e uma chaleira. Neste quarto havia ainda uma cafeteira com cápsulas para café expresso. Pedimos jantar no quarto e a refeição foi muito boa e a um preço razoável. Por fim, esquecemos um carregador de celular que foi guardado pelo equipe do hotel e, como nós hospedamos novamente nele alguns dias depois, pudemos pegá-lo de volta.

Cons:

Nada relevante que eu não tenha gostado.
