The hotel was surprisingly generous with the rooms, although they had a bit of a smelly and outdated feel. The staff were absolutely fantastic, always friendly, available, and willing to help. The location was very convenient, especially being so close to the airport with a 24/7 shuttle service. The dining experience, unfortunately, turned out to be extraordinarily mediocre. Despite that, the facilities were quite accommodating.

I loved the convenient location of this hotel, especially being so close to the airport and enjoying the efficient shuttle service. The rooms, while basic, had everything I needed like a good bed and shower, though they could use a refresh. The service was exceptional, with the staff always greeting me warmly and being very accommodating. The dining experience was decent, with a good selection, but some dishes were a bit overcooked. The overall value for the money was great, making it a practical choice for my stay.

The hotel rooms were just the right size for a family of 4, but they do need some attention for maintenance. The staff were absolutely fantastic, always friendly, available, and willing to help. The location was convenient for connecting flights but has changed since the last visit in Jan 18. The dining experience was standard with a variety of eclectic British dishes. The hotel facilities need some improvement.

The hotel is conveniently located for airport travelers and guests visiting Emperor's palace nearby. The rooms are spacious and clean although a bit dated, with an outdated bathroom and room heater. The service is friendly and accommodating, especially for families. The dining experience offers top-quality meals and overlooks the pool. The location is ideal for transit stays, close to the airport and Gautrain for easy access to Joburg and Pretoria.

I found the hotel to have some drawbacks such as old and poorly conditioned rooms from the 1970s with inconveniences during check-in. However, the staff went out of their way to provide exceptional service, including a late checkout for my delayed flight. The location near the airport was superb, especially for early morning flights, and the shuttle service was efficient. The dining experience was mixed, with some highlights like a fantastic fillet steak, but no noticeable improvements. Despite these aspects, the overall stay was satisfactory.

The hotel may be showing its age and the check-in staff could be friendlier, but overall, it provides a nice experience. The rooms are a bit tired with old furniture and dark passageways, yet they offer a comfortable stay. The service is commendable with helpful staff going out of their way to be accommodating. The location, while not exactly as advertised, is still convenient, especially with the free shuttle service. The dining options are varied and satisfying, making it a delightful experience.
