A very pleasant small hotel. Our room was an ok size off the courtyard with a sparkling small swimming pools, immaculately clean, good WiFi, fridge, a/c, TV we didn't try and tea and coffee. Breakfast was a choice of cooked or cold options with cereals, tea and coffee. Not the largest breakfast but ok to start your day. Dinner isn't offered and the nearest restaurant, a decent large family place serving all options, was 600 metres walk. Other places from 1.5km, too far without a car. Prices for airport drop off which most people will be here for was an efficient but pricey 250 rand. A pity on our second separate night a few things went wrong. A message on the door to ring for admitting, from the UK thats 60 rand a minute. And the taxi to the airport the follwoing day was not arranged, we had to make last minute calls.

What a lovely place to stay. Totally clean. A lot of nice details to make the guests feel welcome. Delicious breakfast made to your order. Spend two weeks there? No mistake at all. 10 of 10 points. Totally earned and deserved.

It is a very well organized place to stay. Good management and staff members. The bedding is excellent. Transport took us to and from the airport at our convenience.

Good place, but bad reception, and lack of life

I reached around 7pm and there was nobody in the property, so I had to wait more than 20min for someone to come and open the door for me

Peaceful and practical

At a reasonable distance from OR Tambo, in a safe and calm neighbourhood, President Lodge offered a refreshing change for 3 nights between 2 international flights. Breakfast was pleasant with a wide choice. There's a nice conference room (used and appreciated) and a small swimming pool (untested). There was no issue about cleanliness and the room was fine although I found the decoration to be somewhat drab but that's a personal opinion as I love colours. On the other hand, Internet was fast and the air-conditioner worked well during the heatwave. The owner was helpful and so were her employees.

Es un hotel familiar muy agradable, con piscina y habitaciones de buen tamaño. Sobre todo destacaría lo bien que nos han tratado. El desayuno y la cena que encargamos eran muy buenos. El último día teniamos un vuelo tarde y nos dejaron quedarnos con las habitaciones (eran 3 habitaciones) hasta las 18h, que es la hora a la que partimos para el aeropuerto. Recomiendo totalmente este hotel!!!

rolling power outages-ask ahead

stay fri-sun and was picked up by the owners for 300RAND the uber was only 99rand but he was patient and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. the facility I loved. The layout was great. My only complaints were the Power outages. There is a schedule. This needs to be in the description. WARN the guests. I had food in the fridge. our heater shut off. I had business to conduct and I NEEDED wifi. Also, because there was no electricity, they could not offer the full breakfast. but they still had a fair option. Also, after the power restored the internet was still down for an hour or so. Please have a back up data service if you need internet. I wish it was warmer. I wanted to swim. I wish I had more time for the tub. The water pressure was GrEaT. the pillows were also really nice. If the electricity/wifi didn't cut out this would have been a 9.9 review.

I really enjoyed my stay there the only thing I would complain about is I would like to use a telephone while I'm there.. Also I felt a little rushed when it was time to check out because the woman wanted to clean my Room.

It was like staying with loving family. They went beyond making us feel at home. Even taking us to a Doctor when my husband was sick. Preparing afternoon tea for our visitors to enjoy. Special comfortable place, with very special people running the President Lodge.

Lovely outdoor area

This hotel was great our one day layover in Joberg. Ideal if you have a car, however there was a good family restaurant within walking distance. The included breakfast at the hotel was excellent. And the outdoor area was really nice. The owner allowed us to stay by the pool and veranda all day after checkout since our flight didn’t take off until the following evening.
