Emerald Guesthouse

Friendly, accommodating with hearty breakfast. My go to stay after long flights. With close proximity to airport Thanks

My review is for a one night stay to make use of the airport shuttle after landing at OR Tambo and then having to go airport again the following day. This accommodation is good value for short stays. The shuttles run frequently. Occasionally they run a little bit but you can also attribute this to traffic on the freeway and airport. It's best to leave yourself with a shuttle with enough time. The front desk can be reached on WhatsApp with no issues. The location is away from the more deprived parts of Kempton park but is advisable not to go wondering out. Ubers are always nearby, and there is Festival Mall very close and Mall of Africa a bit further away. No issues with reception or the room. Snacks are also available along with hot drives and decent breakfast.

Considering the price, the service quality and facilities were both excellent, making it a very good place to stay. For a stay around 500 yen, I give it five stars. I stayed at five hotels in Johannesburg, and this is the one I would recommend the most in terms of cost performance. I think it is fulfilling from the following perspectives. Equipment Booking directly with the inn was 461.7 land, but considering the price, the facilities are well-equipped. First, the room is spacious, and there is a kettle, four cups, a shelf, a sofa, a desk and chair, and a TV in the room. There is no refrigerator in the room, but there is a communal refrigerator in the shared kitchen. In some rooms, the Wi-Fi was very strong, and I was able to watch Japanese video services in the room using a VPN. Since it didn't work in another room, the Wi-Fi in the room is luck. There is a kitchen, but since the stove wouldn't light, it is unclear if it can be used. There are dishes and a microwave in the shared area, and it is okay to make pasta in the microwave. The grounds themselves are quite spacious, and the shared area is well-equipped with trees and greenery, where you can relax with a desk and chair. Service There is a free shuttle to the airport running about once an hour. It is convenient because it can be used to go to airport cafes and supermarkets. Not only does it include breakfast, but the restaurant also offers lunch and dinner. I thought it was very appreciated at Johannes that you can complete three meals without leaving the accommodation. Also, they sell snacks and drinks at the reception, so I thought you wouldn't have trouble finding food even if you didn't go outside. Condiments (ketchup, sugar, salt, jam, margarine) were also available for use in the shared area all day. You can get more bread for breakfast if you ask. Laundry service available, 80 land per basket. It seems the price goes down if the quantity is less than a basket, and two days' worth of clothes for one person was 20 Rand. Security There is an electric fence. Because the system requires the person inside to enter a passcode to open, even if a car is parked outside, we do not randomly put in cars or people. Other The cleaning staff and the driver were also polite. Also, because I made a mistake with the date when booking, you approved my refund request and refunded me. We looked at the Booking.com screen together for about an hour and struggled with it. Printing and adding instant coffee to the room were free. Credit card payment possible Breakfast is from 7 to 9 While staying for several nights, the Wi-Fi was unusable every day, and there was a day when the hot water in the shower stopped coming out, which was a problem. However, I think it might be something like this, as I remember that sometimes there was no hot water even at the Five Star Hotel Johannes.
