Kempton Park hotellia

Plussat: Kitchen for self-catering. Same day replacement of broken item.

Miinukset: Water backup system. Perhaps a room safe.

Plussat: Breakfast was great and the location was perfect. Very central.

Plussat: Close to airport, arranged airport transport, secure, lovely owners

Plussat: Everything from accommodation to food

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: The host was amazing and so kind. The heating in the room was amazing. The room seriously felt more like a hotel. The room is big and the bed was so comfortable.

Miinukset: I liked everything especially for that value.

Plussat: The staff make you feel so welcome and went beyond the call of duty to make sufficient water available so that the limited facilities could still be used and they went out of their way to make me comfortable.

Miinukset: It was unfortunate that on the date of checking in the entire area had no water which prevented the ability to make full use of the bathroom. This problem was resolved the next morning early.

Plussat: My two adult sons and myself spent two nights on boys weekend trip to watch the Springboks play the Wallabies at Ellis Park. The owner and staff were welcoming, friendly and most hospitable. The rooms were clean, very comfortable and had the expected amenities. Breakfast was also very good.

Plussat: Relatively close to the airport

Miinukset: The lodge is fenced, but the gate is open at all times. We were told there is a restaurant in the lodge, but in fact only a few dishes were actually served and all were very poor. There was no air conditioning in the room. Bottom line, very disappointing.

Plussat: The beautiful environment - a most attractive property with beautiful gardens. It was quiet, relaxing and safe. The staff were very helpful and the evening meal was excellent. Tours can be arranged.

Miinukset: Nothing really.

Plussat: Close to airport very good

Plussat: We arrived late at night for one night stay there. Steve was very nice and picked us up from the airport, where we got hungry to the hotel. We had great meal at the restaurant at the hotel. The staff was very helpful. The next day we had to leave early for a flight - again Steve was able to drop us off at the airport. Much appreciate your service. I highly recommend this place.

Miinukset: Nothing I can think of, but we stayed just one night

Plussat: We only had one night at Blue Mango Lodge because of our stop over to Namibia. The pick up service from the airport was very helpful and worked out very well. We had a late check in after 11pm and it was absolutely no problem. We got a great spacious room with a very comfy bed so we fell into a deep sleep right away. The breakfast the next morning was great (toast, jam, chutneys, cereals, coffee, tea, freshly made scrambled eggs and crispy bacon) and afterwards we even watched the rugby match altogether with other guests and the owner. It just felt like a homestay at a very kind family. Wouldn't hesitate to book this place again - thank you for everything!

Miinukset: Nothing to complain about

Plussat: Close to OR Tambo airport and with free transfers. Large comfortable room with a bath. Good dinner and cooked breakfast. The owners and staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The property was dated but interesting. The morning sun woke us very early despite the blinds being closed.

Plussat: They have a great in house restaurant. Very good food and wine. The gardens are beautiful with lovely flowers and foliage. Beautiful place.

Plussat: We arrived late in the evening so we were happy with the free airport pick-up from Stevie. He is the owner of Blue Mango Lodge and is a very helpful guy who went above and beyond to help us, also with a new sim card and extra data for the mobile phone (recommended if you stay longer than 2 weeks in SA!). We stayed in a cute little cabin just 15 minute drive away from the airport, which is very convenient because we had to pick up our rental car at the airport the next morning. We used the free airport drop-off service from Stevie. Breakfast is basic but sufficient. You can tell that Stevie pays a lot of attention to his beautiful large garden. All in all we had a pleasant stay, and you get good value for your money here.

Miinukset: For just a night over we didn't really have something that we not liked.

Miinukset: Dinner is closed very early.

Plussat: The guesthouse is near the airport. It is very convenient and has a good price. All the hotels near the airport are very expensive. They also provide shuttle services from and to the airport - I made use of this on a previous occasion and it is very convenient. The guesthouse also provide a buffet for those who do not want to go out for supper - most of the guests made use of it. They also have a spa where you can receive lovely massages. The food is great and all the staff very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I do not have any negative comments.

Plussat: friendly staff, located close to the airport with free airport shuttle

Plussat: tasty buffet breakfast and dinner, comfortable and clean room, warm and friendly staff, free airport shuttle, relaxing pool area.

Plussat: Sijainti heti terminaalirakennuksen ulkopuolella, mutta silti lentokoneiden äänet eivät kantautuneet huoneeseen. Koko henkilökunta erittäin ystävällistä ja palvelualtista, iloisia tyyppejä.

Miinukset: Hinnakas, mutta laadultaan erinomainen.

Plussat: Best location you can get. Very comfortable and clean

Miinukset: Breakfast buffet was a bit light and not to normal standards of the Intercontinental chain

Plussat: The food was very high quality,cooked with care and passion. The staff were all warm and friendly while being totally professional. This is a great airport 24 hour service hotel. Porter even took my bags from checkout to airline check in (68 metres)

Miinukset: A little expensive and $50 for 11am check in. But neither put me off and I would stay again

Plussat: ‘I know I’m gonna like it here’ I sang walking over from the airport to the hotel foyer. I was greeted at a discreet reception desk of the grand entrance hall and led by a very friendly man to my sprawling suite. All rooms have free WiFi, air-conditioning, a minibar, a TV with Apple TV, a Nespresso coffee machine, tea-making kit, bathrobes, slippers and Guerlain bath products.

Miinukset: Glass of wine each during lunch.

Plussat: Location as it is right in front of the airport

Miinukset: Cost should be more in line with other hotel rates in South Africa

Plussat: Great location for someone arriving Johannesburg one day and leaving the next. Hotel is 3-minute walk from Airport, which has luggage carts you can push over there and leave. Bellman will take you to ticket counter for check-in the next day. Great staff, genuinely pleased that you are there. Excellent food. Soundproof, no airport noise. I normally stay at Sandton Hilton near my business partners' office, but when staying overnight to connect a flight the next day, the added cost of this hotel is absolutely worth while. I shall return.

Miinukset: Cannot think of anything I did not like.

Plussat: The location is ideal. The rooms were very comfortable and all the staff very helpful. It was a pleasure to relax after along flight . The hotel is right across the road from the airport

Plussat: Room was large and clean and included a tv and aircon. The shuttle we ordered was in time and comfortable. Wifi was good. Hosts were friendly.

Miinukset: For the same price we had another guesthouse nearby including breakfast and 2 shuttles to/from the airport. This one did not include those in the pricing but only with extra charge which was not cheap.

Plussat: Didnt have breakfast. Left too early.

Miinukset: No microwave or plates or any wash up facilities.

Plussat: I loved the garden

Miinukset: Rooms natural lighting is very limited. There was no bedside matand the toilrt and shower are too open. No door it's just open

Plussat: Great room, comfortable bed, good shower, delicious breakfast, near to the airport. The manager is really kind and helpful.

Miinukset: There is no 24h reception, when we arrived at the guest house there was no one to receive us. We had no internet and could not talk to the manager. I suggest sending a message with your arrival time before you go.

Plussat: Monique the host was excellent

Plussat: It was good.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The standard of the place rad great- and very clean!

Plussat: The staff courtesy and helpfulness was exceptional. The calls to check on safety and arrangements when Kempton Park had no power were such a lovely touch. Almost like being checked up on by family to ensure I was safe and assured of the generator running etc. Breakfast was excellent and one morning I was late, but still it was no trouble to make me something. The room was spotless and the facilities tranquil and in a quiet gated community.

Plussat: I really enjoyed my stay, I'm certainly recommending it to people..you guys go extra miles .

Miinukset: After experience of other hotels/lodges (price, comfort, breakfast, service owners) this was generally poor.

Plussat: It was comfortable, quiet, and friendly. I enjoyed breakfast every mooring, cooked to order.

Miinukset: The electronics in the room, (TV, radio, etc) could use an upgrade. There was no internet access.

Plussat: The Welcome. Good service from the start.

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly, breakfast was good, room was nice & cozy.

Miinukset: Pretty far from city center (although rather close to airport), wasn't too cheap.

Plussat: Very close to the airport. Not close to anything else. Very clean and comfortable and staff very nice.

Plussat: It was a nice hotel and close to the airport.

Miinukset: The construction going on.

Plussat: Quiet, good bed

Miinukset: In the middle of renovation (which wasn't mentioned when booking!).

Plussat: The Breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The aircon in the room was very noisy.

Plussat: very close to Airport / good shuttle Service

Plussat: The property is reasonably close to the airport. Our rooms were big enough and clean. The airport shuttle was on time.

Miinukset: At check-in, the staff was distracted, unfriendly and forgot to inform us that breakfast was not included. Neither did the hostess at breakfast point out the hefty buffet charge. Staff acknowledged and apologized for their mistake but insisted on us paying the full amount: The most expensive glass of orange juice in my life. The room was noisy due to all night passers-by and a bath-room fan that couldn't be switched off.

Miinukset: Lovely food great for the airport nice beds

Plussat: Comfortable stay, close to the airport with frequent shuttle.

Plussat: The shuttle was prompt and the schedule was great. We had no trouble getting to and from the airport. The staff were wonderful.

Miinukset: The dinner buffet was a little over priced in my opinion.

Plussat: Siisti ja viihtyisä. Ravintolan ruoka hyvää ja kohtuu hintaista. Loistava paikka viettää yksi yö lennon jälkeen ennen matkan jatkamista.

Miinukset: Emme saaneet ohjeita lentokenttäkuljetuksen suhteen joten täytyi käyttää uberia.

Plussat: Quick ride to and from airport. Very convenient.

Plussat: Really clean, friendly staff, good on site bar/restaurant and facilities, close to the airport, shuttle to the airport

Miinukset: Room was right above the pool bar which was really loud into the early hours of the morning

Plussat: I chose it for the closeness to the airport. But I was very impressed with the service, friendliness of the staff and comfort of the room. They allowed for an early check-in and check-out. The service in the restaurant was excellent, as was the food

Miinukset: Nothing close by, like shops.

Plussat: The rooms were nicely furnished and quiet. The dinner selection in the dining area was limited but tasty and very reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet was even better! Very convenient to the airport, but follow the signs in the terminal or ask at the information desk. If you walk outside, you'll be accosted by individuals offering to show you to the hotel elevator for a mere $100 ea. Needless to say, they didn't get that much from me.

Miinukset: My only complaint is that the only room service is contracted out to 3rd parties whom you contact directly, in spite of the fact that the guide to guest amenities in the room indicates the hotel will supply traditional room service; they don't.

Plussat: Excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: Would be better if they offered dinner as well.

Plussat: Free wifi. Delivery available from Nandos!

Plussat: Prepare yourself to wake up sweating in the early hours of the mornings. Their system is designed to turn of the air conditioning several times while you're sleeping. The a/c doe snot come back on automatically. Not only does it not come back on automatically, but you cannot turn it back on immediately. You have to wait 10 to 15 minutes.

Miinukset: Air conditioning problems and long lines at check in.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Food was horrible. Made 4 of us sleep in 1double bed n 1 single bed. Ohh it was bad shame.

Plussat: The breakfast was nice Close to the airport Sutisfing value for the cost

Miinukset: There was no food to order at 21:00 Our 2 rooms where in 2 far districts The budgetary room was poor

Miinukset: The water was cold.

Plussat: Location is perfect for me as it is close to the airpoprt and also very close to the venues I visit when in Johannesburg. Breakfasts are very good - good selection well presented.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: It was clean & convenient, the staff are friendly and the bacon and eggs is really good.

Miinukset: The information emailed re the shuttle service was outdated and we ended up having to Uber after a fair wait at the airport. Management didn't seem to think it was much of an issue. And since I hadn't pre-paid for the shuttle service AND I'd saved money by using Uber, it was no big deal - just annoying and sloppy. We used the shuttle service back to the airport the following day and left 20 minutes later than we'd requested, as the couple sharing the shuttle service wasn't ready. Eventually I had to ask the manager to chase them up as we had a plane to catch. Uber would have been quicker, and R40 cheaper. There were no hand towels in the room. Breakfast coffee is insipid.

Plussat: The rate. The shuttle bus. They had a room available on short notice.

Miinukset: Despite online booking, they did not have record of us at check in. The process took about 15 mins, to check in. Smell of smoke quite noticeable in the hallway of our room.

Plussat: All staff very helpful, not far from airport, good shuttle service and reasonably priced. X

Plussat: Sijainti lentokentän lähellä hyvä, turvallinen hotelli. Perhehuone oli kaksi erillistä huonetta väliovella. Sängyt hyvät.

Miinukset: Äänieristys hotellissa on huono, mutta onneksi yöllä oli rauhallista. Shuttle service ei toiminut

Plussat: Service horrible

Miinukset: The hotel wouldn't refund money properly they still owe me for two days I did not stay there

Plussat: Every receptionist is kind

Miinukset: Too noisy (room 324), small and weak gym, bad restaurant, no manner bus driver (at nite) and waitress

Plussat: I liked how close it is to the airport and efficient and reliable shuttle services. I also liked how affordable it is yet the quality of the place is not compromised. The reception and general hotel staff are also very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I don't have any complaints really.

Plussat: Their airport shuttle was too small for our group but they made a plan to find a bigger vehicle. We had an early morning flight and the location close to the airport was very convenient.

Plussat: We loved this place - character, convenience (10 minutes from the airport), and great people. The answer to every question was 'no problem'. Eg, our flight arrives at 1.30am - can you pick us up? 'No problem'. Our flight leaves early evening - can we check out late? 'No problem, I'll take you to the airport at 4'. Thank you Ben and Werner for making us so welcome. It's not 5 star - if you want a bland, anonymous, could-be anywhere hotel, go to Rosebank. If you want a clean. comfortable, friendly hotel close to the airport, choose this one. We stayed there on the first night of our holiday. I had booked the Hyatt for our last night, but cancelled to come back to Africa Footprints - as we will be doing next time we travel to South Africa.

Plussat: Bedding and room was clean. The staff is very helpful and pleasant.

Miinukset: The room was quite cold. The electric blanket was not working. The aircon was not working well and made occasional noises throughout the night

Plussat: Friendly staff and comfortable clean beds

Miinukset: I would have liked good coffee in the room or at least filter coffee with breakfast.

Plussat: The room itself was very comfortable Secure parking

Miinukset: Breakfast could be better - a sausage is not a pan fried Vienna... Better quality coffee in rooms and breakfast - Only one working TV channel

Plussat: Shuttle service Luxurious room Great breakfast Staff were great

Plussat: Clean and comfortable room ànd bed, with nice en suite shower and bathroom.

Miinukset: Communal tea/coffee making facilities at the room meant that there were no clean teacups for us in the morning.

Plussat: We love this hotel. Ben and other staff were so helpful. The room was just what we needed. Airport transfer quick and easy. We’re cancelling a 5 star hotel reservation to stay with you on our way home. Thsnks

Miinukset: No complaints at all

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: manager of the guest house hospitality is great and his staff

Miinukset: every thing was fine

Plussat: Cleanliness

Plussat: Breakfast is good. Location is near the airport. Good for traveler to stay as an transit accommodation. Host Beatrice offer airport transfer in and out. Her husband and all supporting staff are very helpful and nice. They took care of me a lot. They even sent me to have my dinner and picked me up after. As my request, they provided the electric plug adaptor for me. Thousand thanks.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The welcome and it easy to get along with the staff. Straight to the point with reservation made and I love the method of payment.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Accesibility from airport and to the Gautrain system. The mall within the complex including cinemas. Great stuff.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable...pool was the best high light and the breakfast could have been better

Miinukset: The breakfast

Plussat: Our room , Reception, Cosmo's service. The outside views

Miinukset: None

Plussat: The newly renovated room (No.11) was very tastefully decorated, in a clean, modern style. Bed was comfortable and air conditioning, etc., functioned well. Reception staff (Noleen?) was very welcoming and gave us a thorough orientation to the property. Dinner service was friendly and efficient and we were given a nice pre-packed breakfast to take with us since we had a very early departure the next day and otherwise would have missed breakfast.

Miinukset: We had two major problems, the more distressing of which was the inefficient and unreliable airport transfer. The arrival instructions are such that you must first find your way to a particular pickup point outside by the taxi stands, and THEN, the hotel will dispatch the driver. This meant a very long wait for pickup - almost half an hour - during which time we were constantly harassed by taxi drivers seeking a fare. It honestly would have been no inconvenience to the driver whatsoever to have been dispatched once we had made our way through immigration and customs. On our departure the next morning we had agreed to a time suggested by the driver which left us on a tight schedule to get back to the airport to catch a shuttle. This would have worked fine if he had been on time, but he wasn’t. This made us very uneasy as there was no one to help us and we had no alternate transport option. Upon finally showing up seven minutes late, no apology although he could see what stress he had caused. We were very unhappy with the shuttle service and would not recommend this hotel purely for that reason. Although our room was lovely, two major problems: one, no outside light meant we almost had a serious accident, falling into the missing area of the porch. Secondly, the roof leaked badly during an all-night rain shower. The room was pretty seriously flooded. We reported this while communicating about the late shuttle and received no apology.

Plussat: They were very accommodating, we needed a shuttle very early in the morning, the driver was ready and waiting for us.

Miinukset: The bathroom could use a little maintenance

Plussat: The staff was great... the receptionist was friendly, went out of her way to accommodate us, and was able to answer our questions. The shuttle drivers were funny and we always felt safe in the car.

Miinukset: We were the only guests on the property and the staff left at 9p... we were completely alone in a strange city, and had no one around. The room was tiny, and hot, with only a floor fan. The receptionist also pointed out the emergency light, in case power goes out! So weird. We ended up cancelling the second part of our stay for a regular hotel.

Plussat: Good location! Transfer to/from airport extra plus.

Plussat: The manager cosmo manage to solve the conflict we were having with 1 of the staff

Miinukset: These mistake happend in 1 of de room 4got 2 open de base an de tap was licking so water got full in de base an de hole room ws full of water den we call staff to help an 1 of dem ws shoutng dat we were drunk an dat water ws licking de hole night we ask hw cld we slyp in a pool of water an nt say anythng he said we were drunk we ddnt like dat cze we were nt drunk we nt drinking it ws jst a mistake.....
