Location is very near to the airport which makes it convenient and not rushing if you have a morning flight. Using UBER, it cost around 60-70 rand.
Lower your expectation when you are only sleeping for a night. Room is generally spacious for one to two persons. The room is generally clean and looks comfy.
Pillow quality is not that good. They do provide 4 pillows even I am staying alone thus not that bad for me but I can’t imagine if I only have 2 pillows of that quality, my sleep would not be great.
Bathroom is spacious. Bathtub is a bit small. Perhaps because of my height. Not much complaint though.
I did not use the kitchen except for boiling water. Looks quite equipped for light cooking. Does not provide detergent though (thus I chose not to do even simple cooking for my dinner).
If you can, just walked about 10 minutes to the nearby McDonalds or across the McDonalds you can find a nice pizza place and KFC. You can get some groceries there too if you wanted some cooking ingredients or bread for the next day.
TV is really small and old model. If possible do upgrade the TV to at least be able to link to internet (since there is wifi) as the channels are quite limited. A 40” TV is good enough and would be good to have one in the room too.
Room has no aircon thus will have to depend on the aircon in the living room. If you closed the door to sleep, most likely the room ends up a bit stuffy. Had to open the door when I sleep.
Good thing about this place is having a lot of power sockets all around to charge electronic devices.
Staff wise the service can be improved. They are not unfriendly but could have more initiative to provide wifi password and information on the cafe operating timings etc instead of waiting for me to enquire.
Overall, my own feel is that this place is alright if you needed just one night to stay due to late flights in Johannesburg and having to go off another flight the next morning. If you need more than one nights then it depends how much time you would be staying inside the room. For those who loves to stay inside the room for relaxing, I am quite sure this would not meet your needs.
Hope above is helpful for travellers who are looking for accommodation near to Tambo. Cheers :)
