Service was very good, except the heater wasn't working in the room and it was freezing that night. Lucky there were extra blankets.

This is a perfect place to stay if you just need one night: shuttle to and from the airport, dinner on the property, free breakfast (you can get "breakfast pack to go" if leaving early), very nice comfortable room. The only issue is that you are not recommended going outside the property (walking, running) because the area is not quite safe. Taking Uber is the solution if you want to explore other places.

6/10 Good

I said the night for a layover. The rating on the door is rated 3 star out of 5 from South Africas rating on hotels. It's a quick place to recuperate and gather your thoughts. The British breakfast is mid and as an American beans dont belong on a plate but for a quick meal and morning energy it was worth eating. I think my review is simple for a one night stay

Staff relationship were awesome. All the staff are courteous, able to help to make stay enjoyable. Flexibility from management knowing one is resting between connecting flight. The airport shuttle service was very helpful. The driver was very professional. I will definitely patronise and recommend the guest house.
