Premier Hotel OR Tambo

8/10 Good
"Transfer / pickup are excellent My room was massive and unnecessarily large for a single traveller over night, unfortunately I paid a higher premium for this, Check refund policy and cancellation fee ! Breakfast was good, plenty of choice Rooms are pretty old and need refurbishment My shower tap wasn't working correctly and was broken It's close enough to the airport, but expensive"

"I highly recommend this Hotel. The management and staff were outstanding in every way. The facility was very fresh, clean and the service was excellent. The restaurant was excellent. I had one of the best breakfasts there in a long time. The omelette was absolutely amazing. From the shuttle staff to front desk to the manager Derek this was a great experience and if back in that area I will absolutely stay there again. Jim Barnes JAMAD LLC"
