Got the nosiest room, connected room to a guest next door who was talking loudly on the phone and it echoed throughout the room. Staff asked him to be quiet but he jest kept talking.
We were also in a room near a staff area and they would slam the door all night and talk while walking through the hallway.
Staff would not move us to another room.
Bathroom was very dated and not that clean.

A good hotel located in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg. The rooms are small, but have everything you need. The breakfast is excellent, I can recommend it. Closed internal territory, everything is clean. A large shopping center is located 7-10 minutes walk away. From Johannesburg International Airport, about half an hour by taxi.

Friendly staff, great location and the shuttle services was invaluable. The only let down was the noisy air condition in room 1547 which caused lots of unrest. Although a room change was done on day 4, I was disappointed that the fault was not fixed as room 1547 was let to another guest on the same day.

Location of the hotel is quite well. It takes about 30 minutes drive from airport to there. View is beautiful when you're standing in the entrance. You can see the view of table mountain.
