I booked into the Kopanong Hotel for a Church Conference. The first thing that struck me, on arrival, was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Throughout my stay, I was amazed at how proficient all the staff were. I use a four-wheel walker as an aid and at the slightest sign of stress, the staff were there to, assist. At meal times the staff were there to help me dish the food and take it to my table. The wheel-chair accommodation was great and I can truly say your hotel is wheelchair-friendly. Thank you to all the beautiful people who made my stay memorable.

OK, so let's start with the 'not-so-nice stuff'. Look, it is what it is. It's a 3-star (at best), hotel that was converted from apartments into a 'suite' experience hotel. It's cheap as chips, so with that in mind you're obviously not going to expect anything flash. The towels, while clean, could certainly do with being replaced. Overall, a fresh coat of paint would not hurt and the kettle was abysmal - we actually ordered our own kettle from 60/60 - the one in the room had not been descaled in...well, ever. It's very basic accommodation, the telephone in the room didn't work and the extractor above the stove was diabolical. Now, for the good stuff. The staff are AMAZING. So friendly and super helpful, check-in was breezy and even though we arrived a full 2 hours early, we hardly had to wait for our room to be ready. Aside from what I already mentioned, the room itself was SPOTLESS and that made up for the 'niggly' bits. The location is great, just a few minutes from the airport and close to the areas we had business in. Honestly, for what one pays for this place, there are no complaints. You can order from 60/60/ Uber Eats/Mr Delivery and there is a restaurant on site - although we didn't order from them, we left early and came back fairly late so it was just simpler to order in - and they delivered to the room. So all in, if you're not in Jozi for a holiday, then this place is kind of ideal. Internet was fast enough and complimentary and as we literally only used it as a base for our dealings in the big city, it was more than adequate.

Excellent location – literally minutes away from the OR Tambo airport. There is a shuttle but it is difficult to locate it. Maybe some signage would help? Once we located it we were however in the hotel in about 5 minutes. The shuttle is quite efficient. The rooms are good sized but the bathrooms are small in comparison. The room was cleaned regularly. The coffee / tea amenities were good. The room I stayed in was however dated, needs updating of the rooms. The heater in my room did not work. I just hope it works during winter. On meals, Breakfast had a good spread on the buffet, very nice. It is the best meal of the day. Lunch and Dinner was also quite good though not as good in variety unless you use the ala carte menu. I did not use the restaurants much outside the meal times or the bar so I am not able to rate these for now. The 3 stars are largely due to the staff. Staff are generally slow, have a poor attitude and look like they have been forced to work. This was especially at the reception and in the dining. You really need friendlier staff at the reception! A good number of times staff paid more attention to speaking with their colleagues than serving guests. I would be in the middle of something with a staff member but another staff member comes to them speaking in their language and you have to wait. It happened to me too often for comfort. Never seen this anywhere else I’ve travelled. A few times they were also speaking across the room. We however met some lovely staff – a gentleman called Trust and a mature lady who was doing our eggs at breakfast, I forgot her name. Do not expect too much but it is an excellent location if having an early flight.

This is the second time I've stayed here and I'll definitely stay here again. Great to be so close to the airport, you can order room service if you're too tired from your flight or have an amazing buffet with cocktails at the restaurant. Really enjoyed my stay!

Next to the hotel is the casino. The location is very close to the airport. There is a free shuttle bus between the international airports, but it is out of service after 11pm. It takes about 5 minutes to get a taxi.

The hotel is great for a one night stopover on arrival in JNB or departing from JNB. Free shuttlebus to the hotel / airport every 30 minutes. 10 minute journey. We arrived early and room wasn’t ready. So, having checked in, staff looked after the luggage and we went for a drink and sat in the garden for 45 minutes. Staff came to tell us room was ready and took us and the luggage to the room. Standard room is not huge but adequate for a one night stop. Room has the usual expected facilities; tea / coffee and tv. Not a lot of storage space but ok for a short stay. Window opens if you want fresh air instead of aircon. Décor around the hotel is very interesting, unusual and a little quirky. Definitely worth having a look around! Restaurant is open all day with a good choice on the menu at very reasonable prices. Meal in the evening was very good. Two fantastic guys work on the bar, Irvin and Oscar, are very friendly and helpful and regularly check that everything is ok and if you need more drinks. No need to walk from the garden to the bar. There is an outdoor pool and a gym in the basement. Good range of food for the buffet breakfast. Check out was quick and efficient but as a Marriott Bonvoy member, it was express service for me. Would certainly use this property again if I needed an airport stopover. NOTE! Do not confuse this hotel with the Protea Transit Hotel which is in the airport complex.
