“Excellent choice”

I thought this hotel was a great value, I was just looking for a place to overnight while waiting for my flight out the next morning, so cost was my primary concern. I was very pleased with the facilities and actually expected less based on what I paid. The staff was wonderful, the room was great, and the food was good. The only thing that I would recommend is Expedia offer an option for flight arrival time when making the booking so they can be there to pick you up. Its not a big hotel so they don't run the shuttle continually, which is fine, but if they knew approximately when my flight was arriving they would have been there waiting for me.

“Good choice for airport stopovers”

This was one of the cheaper hotels close to the airport, but it had well-equipped, clean comfy rooms, nice breakfast, free airport pick up, and was a great place to stay for my 1 night stopover. The only downside was that the internet signal wasn't strong enough in my room, so the connection kept coming and going, but that didn't really inconvenience me, and I could have gone to one of the seating areas nearer reception if I'd needed a more reliable connection. I'll stay there again if I have future stopovers in Jo'burg.

“Jo'burg airport hotel”

The Life hotel s not pretty from the outside but the rooms are better than functional. I stayed in the main hotel but there is also an annex across the street. Staff were very friendly, the free airport transfers were efficient and I had a couple of great meals in the dining room. The surrounding area is pretty dull but you are only 8 minutes from the airport so it is perfect for a low cost overnight transit.

“Life hotelJohhanesburg”

I really didn't have any problem. They picked me up at the airport as complimentary service. When I left the airport after 27 hours of flight it was nice to have someone waiting for you. The next day breakfast was included and they dropped at the airport when I requested it.

“My base in Jo-berg”

Let me start with a highlight. The hotel shuttle staff dropped me at the airport, and I disappeared. 15 minutes later someone tapped me on my shoulder and handed back my wallet - fallen out in the shuttle - with $1200 still inside. She didn't even wait for thanks. That's honesty. This hotel is GREAT value for money. I pass thru joberg every now and then, and it's convenient, great pick up, comfortable, very modern rooms. And the staff are great! First time I was here the 'high speed internet' connection didn't work and i complained. This time it worked well. Highly recommended - and I travel a lot.

“Great for spending a time during flights”

Nice and very friendly people. Clean, good service and very convenient for one night as I spend. Not for long vacations because it is near the airport and not in a place to go aout walking. Very nice, clean and and confortable room, with everything needed.
