10/10 Exceptional

Check in - super quick and easy. Staff are SUPER friendly and accommodating. Room - decent size but the shower is in the bedroom, separated by only a curtain. It’s a bit awkward. Toilet has its own room with a door. Decor and styling were stylish and flight themed. Hotel - has a great restaurant and bar, showing sports in the evening. Airport shuttle was free and easy to find and hop on. No reservation needed.

The shuttle was very easy to use, and we had good meals in the restaurant. The pool area was never in the sun so we didn't use it. There was construction going on in the hotel but it didn't bother us at all as it was only a bit noisy in the afternoon.

This is an ideal location for an overnight stay for connections around Joburg Airport! A regular shuttle every 30 minutes gets you from airport to hotel door in 5 minutes. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms a little tight - but imaginative. Food and bar does an adequate job - with great staff. If you’re a Marriott Bonvoy member you can collect points here too. We had flown in after a 14 hour flight - and this was a welcome place to freshen up, sustain ourselves and sleep on clean sheets ready for an early connection next morning. Well done to the staff of the hotel. They know what the hotel is there for - an inexpensive stopover - but they made it comfortable.
