Limited Food and Beverage and the F&B staff are not very welcoming. Very noisy foyer and restaurant area with people shouting across the space. Room was fine and quiet.
Very good value for money and on a very safe 10 min walking distance to the departures terminal. Walking tunnel to the airport however is closed from 22.00 until 05.00 hrs. Executive Tours & Transfers can also bring you to the airport for R210.
Convenient, clean but it is all about the team. What a wonderful hotel guest team. From front desk, cleaners, restaurant team - all are friendly and brilliant. Thanks for a great stay!

Okay for overnight stay for airport travel. Basic but clean
Very difficult to get to on foot and extortionate shuttle service organised by hotel to return to airport/a 3 min drive
Hotel building itself is fine - rooms clean and functional. Unfortunately the amenities are not as expected. Firstly, there is no elevator. We had a ton of baggage with us and had to take three trips up the stairs, luckily only to the 2nd floor. Cannot imagine if we were on the 4th floor. As well - we booked this hotel expecting an airport shuttle - when we requested to schedule one, the woman at the front desk informed us they do not offer a shuttle. I showed the Expedia page listing the 24hr shuttle service, but she shrugged and said that was Expedias issue. About half an hour later, we returned to the front desk to find out if we could book at least a taxi, and she said the hotel sub contracts a transit service for 300 Rand flat. It was that or an uber, for a 1.5km drive, so we booked it. At the shuttle the next morning, we learned it was actually 150R per person, we had 4 people (600R). The shuttle driver was kind and understanding, and he cut us a break, but that was not his job to do honestly. Overall, the experience fell short. Again the building and the rooms are perfectly fine. But if you are expecting an elevator, an airport shuttle, or an honest/cooperative front desk service, this is not the hotel for you.

Chambre propre et confortable proche de l'aéroport. ( possibilité d y aller à pied) Restaurant correct. Personnel très agréable . Chambre proche de la réception très bruyante.
The staff at Road lodge - especially front desk and breakfast are friendly, extremely competent and welcoming. I couldn’t recommend this team enough. Every trip is the same. Modest hotel but always clean- the staff makes it!

Will definitely stay somewhere else next time. “Free” breakfast and shuttle service is falsely advertised. Staff were less than helpful. Don’t waste your money or time.
Comfortable bed very close to the airport. Extremely noisy air conditioner unit in room - even when switched off. Please note there are no lifts so either need to carry luggage upstairs or pay porter
Die Lage ist optimal für eine Übernachtung vor oder nach dem Flug. Personal sehr freundlich. Zimmer etwas klein, aber insgesamt sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Good:Location, clean, friendly.
Less: inbetween door with adjacent room
No elevators.
So ok for 1 night. Walking distance to the airport.
After 10 pm you cannot use the walkway. Take a taxi.
