Hotels.com needs to verify with the hotel that my reservation was confirmed. On arrival to the hotel near midnight and exhausted from travel, I was told my hotels.com reservation was not confirmed from the hotel’s end. They fortunately rebooked me without any fees but come on you guys need to do better with double checking !!

An aiport hotel serves a few functions, a comfortable bed for the night. And when they offer a free shuttle service it gets you to the airport on time. We needed the shuttle for 06.00. We asked to book it. No need for reservations we were told. Arrive 05.58, shuttle full, leaves us behind. I ask at the desk that immediately it returns a second journey is made to accommodate us in a timely manner. 06.18 shuttle returns. Driver refuses to make another journey until 06.30. I tell the desk you promised a quick run, he has time. The driver and desk chat, not in English. The shuttle departs at 06.32. We leave more people behind to await the 07.00 journey. Very poor service, it seems the driver runs the hotel not the other way around.

Checked in to a very cold room, the room had a large old fashioned heater, this was turned on but no heating. Called reception to ask for help .... waited and waited ... called again waited and waited. I climbed into bed fully clothed to stay warm. ... called again and waited and waited. Last time I visited reception and pushed to the front of the Que demanding it be sorted or a fully refund.... A engineer Attended and started the heater but it was noisy and slow to warm up the room. The shower head had been placed at an angle into the corner of the shower making life difficult, when re positioned the water escaped through a gap in the door. The hotel is in need of professional staff and a refurb, but I guess the majority of staff were like me just staying a few hours between transit to/from airport.

As a solo traveler, this hotel was super safe and the staff were very welcoming! Everything was easy and accessible - from food, to transportation, and rooming process. Also a very good price for a very tidy and clean place. Definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful time at the Premier Hotel! If you need any help from the front desk, please see Hilda; she was wonderful! She helped me with excursions and anything else I needed regarding my room. I would like to say thank you to the barman KG, Shoes, Kwafa, and Ronald for making my stay pleasant and very relaxing. A special thanks to all the ladies: Nobuhle, Belinda, Claire, Sancele, Tinyiko, Happiness, and Phiona. And to the morning day shift restaurant manager, she was phenomenal (I can’t remember her name😊). I highly recommend this hotel for any first-time travelers to Johannesburg.
