The WiFi did not reach my room it was 261 so the tv couldn’t not connect . And there was no hot or warm water for the shower . They charged 144$ for one person for a safari over priced for a 2 hours tour . Last the shuttle only comes every hour to air port . I messaged them thru Expedia 4 times and they didn’t msg back . It was late till 920pm just wasted time .

Absolutely classic. Very clean, nice pick up , to and fro the airport. Nice breakfast. I have a little complain. The Door stopper( the black thing on the floor) in the room should pls be remove. I hit my toe on it like 3 times. Its too clossd to the coffee table and its a terrible hazard. Will visit this hotel again.

Stayed here on two occasions in November 2025. Great place to stay with a free van shuttle to get you to and from the airport. You can also get dropped off at the nearby train station, which is a lot cheaper to get on the same train than from the airport station. I did the Hop on Hop Off bus so caught the train to Rosebank, the place where you show your Get Your Guide/Wotif/Viator voucher and they issue a bus ticket. The train is clean, fast and there's heaps of security/police around. There's also a few supermarkets at that Rosebank stop as there's a few big shopping centres there. After finishing Hop On Hop Off I caught the train to the airport and just caught the free shuttle back to Emerald Guesthouse from there. Free breakfast, friendly staff. You can also buy dinner there too if you're hungry when you arrive. A few friendly feline residents too hang around the reception/breakfast buildings. Will book there again whenever return to Johannesburg.

I previously stayed at Emerald Guesthouse for two nights, around 11 days before this second stay. Very easy to sign up for the shuttle when you check in, to take you from Emerald Guest to either the nearest train station (fast train takes you to Hop on Hop Off bus ticket office) or other places. or of course the airport which is about five minutes at most in the van. To catch the bus from the airport you just walk to the bus station part of the airport which is about a two minute walk from International Arrivals (try to avoid the porters or the people at the information counter there, who will ask you for money for lunch if you stand around there too long). Shuttle van leaves the airport bus stop at the start of each hour so you don't have to annoyingly phone the driver or anything, you just approach him when the van arrives. You'll quickly work out which guys work in the bus stop and are telling the buses, vans and shuttles where to park, so if you've arrived just after the hour ask one of them if it has come yet. They do know. You also get free breakfast which you pick from a menu what you want included when you check in. It's not huge but it is good. The place is pretty basic looking, but it is all you need and was very cheap when I booked. Complex is fenced for our safety. Kitchen staff, check in staff and the free shuttle driver are all really friendly. Wouldn't hesitate to book to stay here again next time visit Johannesburg.
