The hotel is conveniently located near OR Tambo Airport, with a regular shuttle service that makes getting there a breeze. I found the rooms to be spacious and incredibly comfortable, with a lovely atmosphere in the public spaces. Unfortunately, I did encounter some challenges during my stay that detracted from the experience, particularly with the service regarding an unfortunate incident. Overall, it's a solid choice for a layover, but be cautious about personal items.
