Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I like the convenience of being close to the airport and shuttle service to and from airport. The staff are efficient and very helpful and friendly. Assitance to take luggage to your room. I like that the room was very clean. The linens was white and fresh. Bed was comfortable. It is an older place so not very up to date. The shower taps didn't work easy and, I did thought the towels is very thin. An upgrade on new towels will Add more to the experience. The shower was clean but could perhaps do an intensive clean on tiny spots of mold, and new filling by sink. Although overall the room and bathroom was clean, the lace curtain in bathroom needs a wash aswell the curtians & lace curtians by the small windowsill è However there is new smart television in room.

Cozy place away from home.
My stay here was short by necessity but the friendly staff and the clean, tidy room made the brief time spent here very enjoyable. Check in was fast and efficient, as was check out. The breakfast was made fresh to order in the morning. The inclusion of breakfast in the room rate made it value for money to me. The location is nice and close to the airport so travel times were nice and short. Yes this comes with the downside of hearing planes overhead but the sound did not interfere with sleep. There is security at the gate round the clock to open up for guests who do travel in and out.

The shuttle service is a joke...they were not at the airport to meet us although detsils were sent to them weeks before we arrived. Ehen we eventually got through to them they turned up to pick up 3 of us our 5 suitcases and 3 hand luggages in a salon car. Two of us were crushed in the back seat with luggage almost on top of us. When we got to the hotel they had no room for us and said we would be sent to another place a guest house belonging the the Hotel owner's brother. We had a further wait then to be taken to a small guest house 10 minutes away. These people are terrible...

Disliked: Staff & service
I arrived Johannesburg at past 1Am and this guest house was closed for the day, I had earlier sent them a message of my flight details and arrival time. They were locked and said the room had been given to someone else. That they tried to call me. How do you call someone who is airborne? When I sent a message why didn’t I get a response? I was left in the cold night stranded and the staff who I met outside was very rude to me. Saying they are fully booked

The property is located right across from the airport, in a convenient location. Very limited dining option, almost non-existent WiFi, and had electricity only half the time I was there. This meant no tv, no air, no water on the sink, no water on the toilet, no internet, no lights, etc.

Basic and clean accommodation
The guest house is located conveniently right near the airport, approx. 10 min drive. As we started our tour with On the Go here we received a free airport shuttle pick up. There was a lady with a sign waiting to greet us at the arrival hall however if someone is not there to greet you, a simple phone call to the guest house will ensure they send a driver asap. The guest house is very clean simple accommodation. It has gardens with lots of tables to sit and chill in the sun and the shade and a cool treehouse style deck with a random enclosure with a squirrel. There is also enclosures with carrier pidgions which add to the quirkiness of the place. We arrived quite late from the airport and the girls at the front desk are all pretty relaxed and friendly. Our room was located across the road from the main building in their additional complex. While it an be a little odd at first being separated from the main building we all felt very safe. The complex is fenced and gated and all the doors and windows have bars and security doors so while you do get a slight Alcatraz vibe, it comforting to feel safe. The distance across the road from he main building is literally diagonal about 150 metres. It takes you about a minute to walk there. Some others have mentioned feeling unsafe at night we did not. Rooms were clean and basic but no hairdriers actually available. I would reccomend Doves Nest as a convenient and basic place to stay.

People smoking within the building. The rooms were not what we had requested. The Guest house did not have the room we requested and took us to another place that was not to standard, and was dirty. The garbage bin was not emptied and flies were flying all over the room. The tea/coffee making area was equally not organised, we could not find a single spoon. The room telephone was not working and one had to walk across the road to reach reception. In general it was pathetic.
