So plus is that you can watch landings and takeofffs at JNB and there is a cool aviation themed restaurant bar and club next door. The minuses are awful service beaten up rooms and a bizarre sprawling and a confusing property. I paid in full in advance and upon arrival they tried to charge my card for double my rate... More

The hotel is very conveniently located...just 15mins from OR Tambo, 5 mins from the East Rand Mall and general amenities. They even have regular free shuttle rides to the airport and the mall. this is a boon for guests considering one cannot really walk anywhere in Jo'berg and there is no other means of public transport.

Stayed at the above on a few occasions whilst on trips to S.A. ideal for most amenities and close to the airport, approx 15mins. East Rand Mall has all you could wish for in the way of shopping. Plenty of restaurants close by as well.

I first stayed at the Birchwood in 2003 and have been back at least once a year since then, sometimes more. In the ensuing 10 years, it's pretty much doubled in size (if not more), and this has had both good and not so good effects on the quality of service offered at the hotel. For example, the newer side... More
