"Great spot for a quick overnighter at JNB airport and walkable with luggage via covered walkway in about 5 min. My room had a slight draft from a worn out window handle and was letting in freezing cold air - the hotel quickly sent maintenance and addressed the issue. Great bar/restaurant and staff. ..."
