Perfect location for an early morning departure from or a late evening arrival at O.R. Tambo Airport.
Reliable half hourly shuttle bus service permits transfer within 10 minutes.
Rooms are modestly sized but clean, comfortable and with good bed furnishings.
Vibrant bar and restaurant on ground floor and small swimming pool and seating area outside.
Friendly albeit not the most efficient staff.
Comparatively good value compared to onsite airport hotel option.
Recommended - would utilize again if flight schedules dictated.

Good choice for quick and simple stay close to airport

If you need a hotel near the airport that does the job with decent service, this place is a great choice. We arrived as a family of 5 later in the afternoon and staff were helpful in making sure we had a good table for dinner early evening, as we needed an early night for an early start. Food was better than we expected - especially lovely, fresh poke bowls! There is a small gym that is plenty for an overnight. The shuttle to the airport worked well and only takes a few minutes. So very convenient!

Great airport hotel
Aug 31, 2025claresE3013QXTownsville, Australia
The hotel was clean and great for a one night layover. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Staff were extremely helpful and responsive, and the shuttle was always punctual. Breakfast was a bit pricey, but all in all I would definitely stay again.
Excellent service!

This airport themed hotel was clean, the service staff helpful, and the food was delicious. Airport shuttle available behind the intercontinental hotel every half hour and they stashed our bags so we could enjoy the time before flight taking a tour of Soweto and the Apartheid museum and they arranged for us to be picked up at the hitel!
Handy for the airport but...

This is convenient for the airport but although there is an outdoor area the noise from the road is great. Also, at our time of staying the pool was closed with no prior warning. Food was good but there were not many communal areas to sit other than our room.
For an overnight stay for those who just need to flop, it's fine but if you wanna chill…

For an overnight stay for those who just need to flop, it's fine but if you wanna chill outside I would choose quieter hotels a little further from the airport.
