It was okay but just I would say. Styre one night since it was cheap and close to the airport. You get what you pay for. Wouldn’t stay during the hot period (no ac). The staff was really nice though.

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.

This was a great, inexpensive place to stay for an airport layover. It was easy to arrange transport from the airport to the guesthouse, and everything was on-time, with a nice packed breakfast for early departures.

The room was good, i got in late and just wanted a shower and sleep. Some tea bags would have been nice. Good breakfast and excellent shuttle service to and from the airport. Unbelievable price for a good, clean room, breakfast and shuttle service.

This place is cheap but it really isn’t worth it.
The hourly shuttle pickup from OR Tambo was 30 minutes late.
The room was tatty, run down and full of mosquitoes
