Staff relationship were awesome. All the staff are courteous, able to help to make stay enjoyable. Flexibility from management knowing one is resting between connecting flight. The airport shuttle service was very helpful. The driver was very professional. I will definitely patronise and recommend the guest house.

The WiFi did not reach my room it was 261 so the tv couldn’t not connect . And there was no hot or warm water for the shower . They charged 144$ for one person for a safari over priced for a 2 hours tour . Last the shuttle only comes every hour to air port . I messaged them thru Expedia 4 times and they didn’t msg back . It was late till 920pm just wasted time .

Absolutely classic. Very clean, nice pick up , to and fro the airport. Nice breakfast. I have a little complain. The Door stopper( the black thing on the floor) in the room should pls be remove. I hit my toe on it like 3 times. Its too clossd to the coffee table and its a terrible hazard. Will visit this hotel again.

Stayed here on two occasions in November 2025. Great place to stay with a free van shuttle to get you to and from the airport. You can also get dropped off at the nearby train station, which is a lot cheaper to get on the same train than from the airport station. I did the Hop on Hop Off bus so caught the train to Rosebank, the place where you show your Get Your Guide/Wotif/Viator voucher and they issue a bus ticket. The train is clean, fast and there's heaps of security/police around. There's also a few supermarkets at that Rosebank stop as there's a few big shopping centres there. After finishing Hop On Hop Off I caught the train to the airport and just caught the free shuttle back to Emerald Guesthouse from there. Free breakfast, friendly staff. You can also buy dinner there too if you're hungry when you arrive. A few friendly feline residents too hang around the reception/breakfast buildings. Will book there again whenever return to Johannesburg.
