Great hotel for airport connections

Cons: The sheets are very crisp, but noisy. Krinkly sounding.
This is a great hotel for an overnight between flights. An easy walk to/from the airport. Great restaurant and pool. Comfortable bed and the room was very quiet despite being next to the airport. Concierge arranged a half day private tour of Soweto for us, which was terrific. This is a quality hotel with friendly staff.

this hotel is great

I still think it is overpriced. There is not much competition. it was hard to find another hotel of this class in the area so we had no choice. Service and comfort is excelent.
