Not amazing, but not terrible.
It's obviously an older hotel, but does the job just fine for just before or after landing at OR TAMBO. Some of the rooms don't have a mini fridge, and none of the rooms I stayed in had a microwave. The drains in the shower and sinks could use a good bit of work. The beds and linens are comfortable and the blackout shades work well. The food at the buffet isn't great, but not terrible either. Is it the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in? Definitely not. Would I stay again? Probably.

Pior hotel da rede. Evite.
Hotel decadente, velho e mal cuidado. Nem o piso do corredor é plano. Quarto sem frigobar, sem toalhas suficientes, sem amenidades de banho. Serviço ruim, café da manhã fraco. Restaurante OK para quem chega tarde no aeroporto, transfer também OK. Mas é só.

Great airport hotel
I stayed at the hotel after getting stuck at the airport overnight. The shuttle service was quick and efficient. Breakfast was yummy. They also let me stay in my room until 7pm for an additional 950RAD, which was very welcome since I had a redeye flight.

Aged 3 star hotel but decent value for money spent
Aged 3 star hotel close to airport. Decent enough for prive paid, was no rooms available at international so we had to stay here instead for 1 night in transit. Offer free shuttle to and from airport which is great.
