This hotel is right next to the airport, and literally 2 minutes walk from International arrivals. I booked using priorityclub.com the night before I checked in and unfortunately my reservation didn't make it in time for my checkin. The lesson here is book more than 24 hours in advance. Aside from this, the checkin staff were helpful in trying to find the reservation and the lobby is certainly smart. The room I booked was the cheapest, but the quality was outstanding with seperate massage shower and bath, but the shower was so big it was possible to lie down in it. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of tea and coffee supplies, more than the 2 or 4 cups worth most hotels offer. Even the TV was good quality, a Sony Bravia LCD. I think the most important point was that the double glazing really blocked out the sound and the only noise I heard was thunder. The hotel also had a spa and gym, but I never visited these. The best part of my stay was having breakfast outside in the sunshine in the hotel 'garden', which is very near the arrivals gate, so you see many people, but it's still quiet. Given the chance I would stay in this hotel again without hesitation.

This hotel is part of the Emperors palace casino right next to JNB airport . The shuttle service is prompt and its about a 2 min drive. There are 3 hotels (and soon to be 4) all connected to this huge complex which includes Casino and lots of food outlets and even an indoor amusement centre with roller coaster. The rooms are very big and clean and TV has many decent channels. There are no mini bars in this hotel - however there are plenty of outlets a short walk and machines with drinks and snacks if you wish. Its a very new hotel and the staff are excellent and friendly.
