Good hotel for solo travelers
The hotel is nice and close to the airport & the shuttle to & from the airport is very efficient and convenient. The staff are friendly, helpful & professional at the hotel & the hotel has most of the amenities needed for a solo traveler on business or for travelers on layover.
My main critique is the shower is dated & needs to be changed - the high step is a hazard especially for older people and could potential cause serious injury.
Overall it was a comfortable & pleasant stay.

I arrived after a very early flight at about 9:00 AM hoping to lock up my luggage while I went touring. Instead at no extra charge they checked me into my room. They also lent me an adapter for South Africa’s unique electric outlet so I could use my CPAP machine that night. Everyone was so nice!

Ok for cheap airport stopover
Overnight stay for early flight the next morning. Check in quick and smooth.
Having stayed previously the room we received this time was obviously older and needed some updating.
There was an extractor fan in bathroom that went all night and early morning cooking smells came wafting through which was not pleasant! After using the shower the cold water would not knock off prompting a call to duty manager. As it was before 6am the shower coils not be dealt with until maintenance started at 6am. It was noisy and would have disturbed other guests.
Overall good nights sleep but needs some tlc.

Great choice for airport stay.
Large room, comfortable bed, good lighting. Evening buffet is excellent as is breakfast. Nice little outdoor pool. Hotel has a nice ambience.
In places a little tired and dated, especially the bathroom.
Was good value, and proximity to airport and free shuttle make it an excellent choice.
