Lots of room and over 600 to pick from! Helpful staff and good steak at the Grill Restaurant. A bit noisy if the wind blows as it forces the jets to takeoff over head the resort.

I have often traveled to South Africa on business and stayed at many hotels, but I have never found a place where the staff were as friendly as this one. The hotel grounds were large and it was nice to take a walk. The downside was that the bathroom door was the wrong size so it didn't close completely, and the shuttle service ran every hour, so the waiting time was longer than other hotels.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Birchwood Hotel in Boksburg for a week, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The room was spacious, clean, and well-appointed with all the necessary amenities. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep every night. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job of keeping the room tidy and replenished with fresh towels and toiletries daily. One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. It was fantastic, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Whether you prefer a hearty English breakfast or something lighter like fruits and pastries, there was something for everyone. The food was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The hotel's facilities were equally impressive. The dining options were excellent, with a range of delicious dishes to suit all tastes. The ambiance in the dining area was pleasant, making each meal a delightful experience. While my overall experience was highly positive, one small area for improvement would be the addition of bins outside for smokers. This would help keep the outdoor areas clean and tidy, enhancing the overall guest experience. In summary, the Birchwood Hotel offers great value for money. The combination of excellent service

The staff were incredibly friendly and the property has a wide range of amenities. The rooms need better sound proofing - I'm not sure if there was a conference on near our unit but there was constant noise/people talking loudly to each other throughout the evening and early hours of the morning.
