The staff were super friendly and helpful
The beds are a bit more on the firmer side which isn't my preferred choice of bed but they weren't bad.
Indubbiamente il servizio di navetta incluso ogni ora. Soggiorno ideale per una notte prima di prendere l'aereo.
Ho soggiornato li 2 volte prima e dopo il safari. Nella prima camera la pulizia non era impeccabile, ho trovato lo shampoo monodose di benvenuto aperto degli ospiti precedenti. Nel secondo soggiorno invece tutto bene.
I left before breakfast - they offered a packed breakfast but I preferred to eat on the airport. Location was a short shuttle drive from the airport. (Hourly).
Functional, but very old-fashioned fittings; tiny shower and bathroom; shower head sprayed (out its side) over door leaving a puddle on the floor; extremely spartan (fish & chips style) restaurant. Power failure (not likely to be the resorts fault) left me trying to pack in the dark with my phone torch to catch the early shuttle to my flight.
Everything about the place
The wifi not working properly and can't watch TV
Good breakfast and great location
Nothing
Nice and clean and the food was very good
The free wifi in room 264 was very poor.
Close to the airport, comfortable beds and the shuttle is such an added bonus!
It’s a little old but I don’t mind it.
Best hotel airport I've ever stayed. I would rate this place 6 stars if I could. Great value. You get decent room, complimentary breakfast, and free airport shuttle every hour. All of the staff are really friendly, helpful, and kind. I loved the compound as well. They also serve lunch and dinner at their restaurant for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
The room/bed was very nice
Because the restaurant is sort of part of the reception area, the whole place smelled like fried food
Delicious lamb stew and beef curry for dinner.
Room curtains needed to be thicker/darker to prevent outside lights from lighting up the room during sleep hours.
The shuttle service to the airport was a great help. The accommodation was cheaper than the surrounding options.
Bit noisy.
Excellent place to stay, only issue is the dstv and tv not working
Good
Location that is close to the airport
Very poor communication about their free shuttle services. I ended up using Uber to the hotel. On check out at 5h00am reception was closed, gates locked and the shuttle driver was the one answering their phone being on the road while we needed to rush to the airport. What if we had an emergency and all gates were completely locked with no one on the property to open.
Comoda perché vicino all’aeroporto
Shuttle gratuito per l’aeroporto
Proche de l'aéroport et pas cher. Pour une courte escale ça va. Mais ce n'ai pas très confortable et vieillissant. Le personnel est sympa
Vieillissant et pas très confortable. Petite déjeuner affreux
Le cadre
La chambre
This is a one night stop between flights only. the advantage is that they do a free airport shuttle and a basic breakfast. The staff are pleasant. This is good value for money if your expectations are not too high!
Value for money
A little bit noisy because close to the airport
Nah am Flughafen. Stündlicher Pendelverkehr zwischen Flughafen und Unterkunft.
Schlechte WEFI-Verbindung
スタッフがとてもフレンドリー!空港の送迎があるのが嬉しい。サファリで早く出なきゃいけなかったけど朝食用意してくれた。
サファリの前後で2泊したが、部屋によって施設の綺麗さが異なる。でも安いから気にならなかった。
I am still agree with myself for booking this place, I thought its a nice guest house not knowing that, they don't offer cleaning services everyday. I left my room going to FNB stadium and I come back in a state I left it. No one informed me that for them to clean I have to make a request. The Kitchen area, there is no space the tables a taking up space, they need to look for another space when they have a lot of Guests otherwise that setting is not accommodative for a larger group. The lady who was serving us breakfast was so not clean for someone who is serving food. There was no WIFI throughout my stay as such, I couldn't have access to TV and I was a solo traveller. On Friday the pick up driver was wearing dirty clothes and even on Saturday he was still on those clothes. Hospitality industry require cleanliness. I requested a replacement of a Banana with an Apple and the lady responded without even looking at me "we don't have apples). It was my first and last day of going for breakfast, I decided not to be part of that environment.
Everything about it: when you go out, you have to wait before they open the gate for you. Even if you are waiting for Uber Eats, they wait at the gate until you go to the reception and ask them to open it.
Shuttle service was very good
The sheets on the bed were not clean
Good communication before arrival, about the airport shuttle times and pick up points. The COMFORTABLE BEDS, the quiet tranquil surroundings. The humble receptionist. I have stayed here before as a frequent flyer.
1. I booked & paid for a 35 m² deluxe queen room with a microwave and bar fridge for 2 days. I was allocated a 20 m² twin room, when I complained, I was 1st promised a R200 refund. I declined. I was moved to a 25m² triple room, no microwave. 2. I would have appreciated the situation to have been explained BEFOREHAND. I was more UPSET and SAD than Angry. (The difference between these rooms is €40) It's not even about money, it's about good customer service. 3. The person who served us breakfast the first day needs to be CAUTIONED to serve people EQUALLY, irrespective of their nationality.
Está muy bien ubicado cerca del aeropuerto. La habitación era un studio amplio y limpio lo que se agradece después de venir cansado de un viaje largo.
No había internet en las habitaciones y con el frío y la lluvia que hacía pretendían que una trabajara en la cafetería después de un trayecto de 24 horas en avión. No me gustó el trato de las personas en la recepción. El desayuno empacado no tenía nada salado tipo un sándwich, todo era dulce!
Super für einen kurzen Aufenthalt.
Close to airport - hourly free shuttle bus. Pool Breakfast was simple, good, sufficient, and efficient
Brick pathways a bit rough on luggage wheels - very minor issue
Close to airport Free airport shuttle
Everything
Free airport pick up and drop off Near airport
Really nice, cozy and clean. Good organisation, very kind staff. If you nead place near Airport, with shuttle service, safe and simple, we truly recomend it.
Everything was great, only breakfast was nothing special and staff on breakfast were not so polite and kind like on reception. We we're not thrilled. But doesn't matter, we didn't leave hungry 😀
房间比较旧,但床铺很干净,有接机送机很方便,适合转机住一晚
Very convenient with complimentary airport pick up and drop off. Comfortable, spacious accommodation. Great bed! Excellent having a restaurant on site. Complimentary cooked breakfast. Realistically priced tasty meals for dinner. . A convenient well priced hotel stay close to airport with helpful staff.
La proximité aéroport
Les chambres sont assez usées et la propreté laisse malheureusement à désirer. Le personnel n’est pas particulièrement avenant, ce qui est dommage car l’établissement pourrait être beaucoup plus agréable.
Reliable transport from and to airport
The quality of the bed and matrasse was poor. Had to change rooms first as the first rooms bed was very bad. The bed was noisy and the matrass was in very bad shape. The second room had a huge hole and sagging space in the one side.
Très proche de l'aéroport, avec une navette gratuite. L'hôtel est idéal pour passer une nuit. Il n'y a absolument rien autour Les repas sont bons, et pas chers du tout
L'isolement de l'hôtel. Aucun commerce et loin de tout.
Friendly staff made my stay comfortable and accomodated me on site after. I had booked out.
Nothing
Única vantagem é a localização que é próxima ao aeroporto e o serviço de transfer para o aeroporto que era gratuito.
Acomodação super antiga, banheiro velho e quebrado, estava no inverno o banheiro não tinha água quente. Cama dura igual uma pedra. Quando chegamos na recepção não tinham separado nosso quarto, uma das recepcionistas quando não encontrou meu nome me deixou falando sozinha, até que a outra veio me atender, conferiu que minha reserva no booking estava correta e elas que erraram. Ainda guardaram minhas malas em um quartinho de dispensa enquanto arrumavam um quarto pra mim e quase não me devolviam minhas malas.
Quarto muito bom, limpo e espaçoso.
Recepção um pouco desorganizada, mas deu td certo
Very nice place and we had a room with balcony:))
It was cold like me ex :(
Close to the airport
Mi habitación era nueva, estaba impecable i la cama era muy còmoda. Ofrecen comida y cena a un precio muy bueno (5-8euros). Tienen muchas zonas de jardín muy bien cuidadas y una bonita piscina.
Eché en falta calefacción, por suerte los dias que estuve no hizo mucho frio.
Shuttle from airport
Light coming in room, firm bed, Noise from road.
L'accueil du personnel, le professionnalisme, la proximité de l'aéroport. Chambre confortable. Le transfert aéroport impeccable. Le snack si on part avant l'heure de petit-déjeuner.
Rien à signaler. J'y reviendrai surtout lors d'atterrissage tardif.
Ideaal om te overnachten als je dichtbij het vliegveld moet zijn of aankomt. Prima ophaal service van en naar het vliegveld
Precio y transfers
Un poco antiguo
Everything we needed in an overnight transfer hotel. Excellent communication. Good shuttle transfer. Great staff. Functional rooms. Good freshly cooked breakfast.
All good
The staff are great and the distance to and from the airport was ideal.
The gas shower took some getting used to.
Excellent value for money. The free shuttle from and to the airport is fantastic. Dinner and breakfast are adequate. Beds are comfortable and the room was clean.
Tables and chairs in the dining room are too few for the number of guests in the morning. We simply shared a table with other guests.
Pas loins de l’aéroport et la navette
Sale, personnel pas accueillant du tout, petit déjeuner mauvais, lit dure comme du béton, aucune isolation
La posizione vicino all’aeroporto ed il transfer gratuito ogni ora.
In camera faceva un freddo cane. Non c’era il riscaldamento e ho dovuto dormire con 5 coperte di sopra. E’ stato “agghiacciante “in tutti i sensi . Il cibo precotto di scarsa qualità .
Opção de um " kit café da manhã" para quem sai cedo, como foi o nosso caso. O transfer gratuito do aeroporto ao hotel é muito prático.
Tivemos problema com o jantar, não sei se esqueceram ou trocaram os pratos - demorou muito e veio errado. Os funcionários não se prontificaram a ouvir o erro, simplesmente viravam e mais tarde entregavam outra coisa. Também pagamos um valor maior para ter um quarto com cama de casal e entregaram dois quartos com camas de solteiro.
A comfortable and convenient stay, close to the airport. The room was bigger than I expected. The shuttle was convenient and on time. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner.
Due to the good location, you can hear the road from the outer facing rooms.
Pulito, letti comodi, vicinanza all'aeroporto, servizio navetta preciso ed efficiente. Colazione da asporto per partenze alle prime ore del mattino.
3 camere su 4 assolutamente da rinnovare, ristorante con poca scelta e qualità del cibo migliorabile , anche se economico
The staff were polite
The shower was faulty and overflowed
The staff are lovely. Five star out of five. Nice breakfast and good airport shuttle.
Room old and worn. Hot water intermittent.
Proximity to the airport and room presentation
No shower slippers and cap Breakfast not enough Cold coffee
Very close to the airport
The friendly people and shuttle are on time
The morning we have a shuttle for seven o'clock in the morning. We arrived 6:25 am. To hand in the keys at the office to the white lady with long hair where we supposed to received a food package. She said there will be enough time for breakfast. So we sat town.where the gentlemen took our order. Around 6:45am I said if they can bring the order because time is running out. That lady said they only start from 7am. Then I spoke to another lady there. Where she said that there was no communication between them there. We're they rush for goodie back was was nir even complete like before. Because we always use the guesthouse
Die Portion für das Frühstück war sehr klein. Hat einen knausrigen Eindruck gemacht. Kann man sich meiner Meinung nach sparen.
Large room Comfortable bed and very clean
Nothing
Nice, spacious room.
They didn't have a heater to warm the room, and it was freezing cold at night.
Amazing service from all staff. Nothing was too much bother for them. Very accommodating and super helpful! I will be back!
Breakfast was good. Eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, coffee and juice.
Everything was great! From the shuttle service to the reception staff, the breakfast was exactly as advertised, delicious and filling, the room was above expectations, and overall a fantastic experience.
Well - the proximity to the airport means planes taking off and landing at all hours, so perhaps a good set of noise- cancelling headphones would have been a good idea.
The facilities in general are very nice and convenient. The room is really comfortable.
Fijn guesthouse bij aankomst laat in de avond; vlakbij vliegveld; goede shuttlebus; lekker ontbijt; vriendelijk personeel.

Breakfast
Cold shower!
It's very close to the airport
I had to wait for some minutes at the gate. Panel heater in my room was not working. In the morning I struggled to get help with handing in the key. I had to phone and wake up the driver. That delayed my time plan.
Wifi signal was very bad and no aircon.
Camera con piccolo soggiorno e angolo cucina. Servizio di scalda letto per le basse temperature molto apprezzato.
Camera fredda, assenza di porta nel bagno.
Close to the airport, good hearty food. Room was clean
The room I was in needs maintenance. Tiles broken and in the evening no hot water even though they said someone will fix it
Close to the airport,provides airport shuttle

Elektrische deken in het bed! En transfer heen en terug naar vliegveld.
Toch wel een stukje rijden vanaf het vliegveld en soms moet ke best wel een tijdje wachten omdat deze 1x in het uur gaat.
Staff was kind, food was good, the place had beautiful gardens, bed was comfortable
It was extremely cold at nigh, heating didn't work and the door and windows were not insulating
It was very close to the airport and had a shuttle to and from the airport. The breakfast and dinner was great.
The rooms were very cold .

Ottimo per chi cerca una soluzione di passaggio, vicinissimo all'aeroporto, offre servizio navetta gratuito, si può mangiare al ristorante della struttura, staff gentile
Very handy to airport for overnight short stay. Free airport shuttle bothways was good value. Room was spacious and very clean. Large bathroom with hit water shower. Bed large and comfortable, range of pillows to choose from
Included breakfast was small. Dining room totally insufficient for number if guests. Booked breakfast time wasn't adhered to. Earlier jarfe groups overstated their booking so had to stand for a while after booked time. Kitchen staff overlooked mine and another guest's order so was 30 minutes late
The room was perfect but no TV connection.
The restuarant's buffet table was not neat and looking old with the wall very dirty. The breakfast is not good. Cold and cheap and very small.
1-the close location to the airport! 1-A; the staff; friendly, yet very professional. 1-B; good food!
No complaints!
It was close to the airport and had free shuttle. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The first visit the room was cold and depressing. The second time we were in newer rooms and were very nice but no door on the bathroom. But better.
Bien situé à 5 minutes de l'aéroport avec navette de l'hôtel
Excelente atendimento, equipe super solicitada!
liked everything about the place,,, everything was smooth and effective
not much to dislike
Nothing, Water was even cold in the morning
The tv was not working, water was cold and just the booking this place is not something i would ever do again
Le service Shuttle très pratique, la localisation,
Rien
De shuttle bus kwam na een telefoontje, ik kwam later aan dan gepland. De kamer was van alle gemakken voorzien en het ontbijt eenvoyd ig maar goed. Emerard Guesthouse is een aanrader..
Hourly Airport pick up and drop off, close to airport
Shower looked a bit old and wifi was not always accessible.
It was conveniently located to OR Thambo airport
The area felt a bit unsafe but the property was secure
TV in room and plug did not work
Right by airport, some south african food before my trip.
The jets taking off and landing (actually a complement, so close to airport)
Shuttle from the airport. Breakfast was sufficient.
Room was cold and unpleasant. No coffee or tea in tge room. Shower had mould on the tiles. No airconditioner. TV in the room did not work properly. Shower was bad, you had to stand in a cold shower for 5 to 6 minutes before the water became warm.
Proximité avec l'aéroport Navette gratuite
Chambre un peu rustique Un peu froid
Une belle étape dans notre programme. Service navette au top 👍🏼 même avec une arrivée tardive Ben plan pour arrivée en afs ou pour un transit vers une autre destination Petit dej simple mais efficace, lit chauffant pratique en hiver et lieux propres. On a adoré

The room was clean, good layout, bed very comfortable
I wish there was a porter to help with bags or even just take you ro your room instead of the receptionist just pointing you to it. If youre not familiar you could end up going in circles for a bit cos especially the new units have no lables.

Breakfast and the Shuttle service is wonderful.
