Convenient, friendly and comfortable”

This is a really great convenient location for a brief stopover in Johannesburg between flights. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Moyo and Memory who met us at the airport and provided transportation to and from the airport were really delightful and helpful. The grounds are very pretty. Only down side is the surrounding area. It is in a light industrial area. Nothing to do in the immediate area. Perfect for an overnight stay.

Oasis near the airport”

Friendly service, close to airport, pleasant grounds

The staff were very accommodating and helpful. Free airport transfers, and with our very early morning arrival they found us a room to rest in until ours was ready. Lovely grounds and quiet to relax in, despite being in an industrial area just off the end of the airport. Free wi-fi. Comfortable rooms and wonderful hot showers. Comfortable and pleasant "honesty" bar. Very good breakfast and quite acceptable dinner (which you have to pre-order earlier in the day). We stayed a night at the beginning and end of safari and it was ideal for this, though a bit far out of town if you want to go sightseeing. However they will arrange tours for you. Would stay again.

Great Jo'Burg Airport Location But......”

Location, Food,

Lovely setting in gardens 6 mins from Jo'Burg airport. Nice rooms and relaxing atmosphere. BUT: We booked and paid for a family suite but they were given to somebody else. We were provided 2 twin rooms. Nice rooms, comfortable and spacious, except one of the TVs didn't work and the floors were covered in black soot and no towels. One room had bird droppings on the sheets. Internet and wifi, eventhough advertised, is non-existent and the credit card machine is "hit and miss". Staff were aloof, not all that helpful and rarely at reception. We rang for the free pick up from the airport - "the guy is on his way" (remember it's 6 mins away). 1 Hour later he arrived, so not a great start.... Hotel has a dining room and 'honesty bar' in a great spot upstairs. Food from the cook was REALLY good, drinks were well priced and breakfast was plentiful, apart from limited cereals and fruit selection. Recommended as a value option close to OR Tambo (Jo'Burg) Airport provided they fix up the internet and staff issues. Chilled out place, after TIA - This Is Africa .....

safari club have lost their edge - no longer tops”

position, genial staff, ambience

My stay was okay. But the transfer was not properly arranged (wrong name given to driver so I waited for half an hour and eventually after calling safari club and then the driver we found each other) no yoghurt at breakfast, grubby room and bathroom (just not spotless as I would have expected - the bedding is tired - only one small bath towel for a double room is just so mean - the TV is tiny and searching for a Chanel is by chance In a 4 star I expect better. No wi fi in rooms with an apologetic note about telkom difficulties. The front gate doesn't work, the intercom is temperamental - this is not okay for a 4 star and certainly not value for money Sadly I felt that the edge has come off Safari Club - I have been using it for years off and on and I sad to have to make these comments but they are true.

My room was attractive and the bed was comfortable but this hotel is located right under the flight path of jets flying to and from the airport. For much of the night the noise was deafening so I could not sleep. The beautiful gardens make it seem like the setting is tranquil but the peace is shattered by air traffic.
