"Firstly, the address advertised as well as the photographs of the accomodation are and is not the address of the actual "hostel. " There is no transportation to the actual address on Jan Smuts rd where you find out that you will be staying UPON ARRIVAL.. The cleanliness of the rooms are at best disgusting. No toilet paper is the tip of the iceberg. There are naked woman walking the halls with numerous "visitors" coming in and out. The owner\manager is impossible to get hold of. Disgraceful....

Top Gauteng Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location next to an amazing mall and lots of restaurants…..great shuttle service, Don’t be a hero, especially at night.. Hotel offers shuttle, take advantage of…for safety."

Catalyst Apartment Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was a combination of thr wonderful, the annoying and disgruntled, and the staff who did their best and were great in at least trying to mediate it, which oersonally i was content with. The room itself was lovely, excellent bathroom and a comfortable bed, housekeeping were great. The restaurant and bar we used frequently, the bar was excellent, restaurant we had good experiences and one bad one just with food timings, with us having to wait 45 minutes for sandwiches and pasta without being informed of thr wait before ordering, in fairness to the hotel, they did cancel our order when requested as we asked for it to be removed right when it was coming out, by then it was past 9.15 and no one was jn any mood to eat. As for the food we did eat on our prior visits to the restaurant, it was delicious, the breakfast was decent as well Despite that negative experience, we would highly recommend the place, it is safe, comfortable and great value for money, and credit to the management who did try to make up for the previous day by providing a couple of free beers as an apology. If in Jozi, i would stay here again"

Premier Hotel OR Tambo

8/10 Good

"The airport shuttle was great and the room was big and clean. We had minor issues with the tv not having any sound but like I said minor issue. The pool was busy when we were there and the pool towels were all used. The attendant who had to bring us new ones only brought us one and did not seem happy to do that."

Garden Court O.R. Tambo International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent service. Shuttle every 15min to and from airport. Hassle free so a great way to start after 18hour flight. Let us into our room early which we appreciated so much. Thank you. The Iris pub attached the food was so good. Breakfast was a great selection. . Happy to recommend this Hotel."
