Location  ***   Good location for plane spotting at Johannesburg Airport. The hotel is located across the road from the long term parking area where the day stopping long haul aircraft park up.

 

Spotting  *** . Good views of the long term parking apron, taxiway to 21R and Runway 21R. A good telescope or SBS would be required to get the smaller movements. Room number 547 gives the views below (any airport facing room on 5th floor should offer similar views). A free shuttle bus 0600-2300 takes you to the terminals and associated viewing decks.

Location  ***   Perfect location for plane spotting at Johannesburg Airport. The hotel is located within walking distance of the 2 terminals although the safer shuttle bus is the better option !

 

Spotting  ** Rooms 607/8/9 have reported good views or departures as well as part of the apron. Previous organised group tours have been given permission to use the roof of the hotel, great views can be had if you are able to talk the manager into giving you access. Otherwise we suggest you catch the shuttle bus for the short hop to use the official spotting decks on the terminal.

 

Photos    **   Not reported although hotel roof access should give possibilities. If no joy with the roof good quality shots can be taken from the spotting decks at the terminal.

Value  ** From around £70 per room per night
