Kuier nog steeds.

Baie dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs en die lekker bed vir 'n mooi lyf. Ek bly vir 'n hele week daar vir werk. Een voorstel is om 'n klein bar yskassie te voorsien.

Still visiting.

Thank you very much for the friendly reception and the nice bed for a beautiful body. I'm staying there for work for a whole week. One suggestion is to provide a small bar fridge.

Well situated close to OR Tambo. Well priced.

Friendly welcome from the staff on duty. The staff were very polite and helpful. Not a very good neighbourhood where it is situated, but very good security measures are in place. We felt safe. Well situated, only a 10min Uber drive to OR Tambo.

Good for an overnight stay if you need to be at the airport very early.

Perfect economic overnight accommodation close to the airport for early flights. The TV needs some fixing though. Friendly receptionist. Comfortable beds.

Lekker gebly met 'n bietjie slegte kultuur.

Ons het lekker gebly. Wat wel nie aangenaam was nie. 4:00 in die oggend speel die nagstaf by ontvangs hulle musiek so hard op hul foon dat dit weergalm tot in jou kamer en ons wakker maak. Die musiek word ook nie sag gesit as mens met die dame praat om uit te boek nie. Dit voel vir my asof daar aandag kortkom, want dit skep 'n slegte beeld.

Nice stay with a bit of bad culture.

We had a nice stay. Which was not pleasant. At 4:00 in the morning the night staff at reception play their music so loud on their phone that it echoes into your room and wakes us up. The music is also not turned down when you talk to the lady to book out. It feels to me like there is a lack of attention because it creates a bad image.

Oornagverblyf tussen reise.

Baie basiese akkommodasie wat voldoende sou wees vir 'n vinnige oornag of kort rustydjie tussen vlugte. Die toestand van die bedlampie se bedrading was effens kommerwekkend, en daar was klein vlekke op van die beddegoed. Daar was geen afstandbeheer vir die televisie nie, ook geen waaier of verwarmer binne die kamer soos geadverteer nie. Prys is laag vir so naby aan die lughawe; jy kry waarvoor jy betaal, maar daar was ook ander opsies binne die prysgleuf wat meer aangebied het. Die ontvangsdames was vreeslik oulik en baie behulpsaam, wat ons kort verblyf heelwat verbeter het.

Overnight stay between trips.

Very basic accommodation that would be sufficient for a quick overnight stay or short layover between flights. The condition of the bedside lamp's wiring was a little worrying, and there were small stains on some of the bedding. There was no remote control for the television, also no fan or heater inside the room as advertised. Price is low for so close to the airport; you get what you pay for, but there were also other options within the price slot that offered more. The receptionists were very nice and very helpful, which greatly improved our short stay.

Net 'n vinnige oornag.

Vir die bedrag per nag kan mens nie 5-ster verwag nie, maar vir 'n vinnige oornag was dit perfek.

Just a quick overnight stay.

For the amount per night one cannot expect 5-star, but for a quick overnight it was perfect.

Gekry waarvoor ek betaal het; skoon bed en badkamer.

Siende dat ek slegs oornag het, was die fasiliteit voldoende. Die ander gaste naby my kamer was egter baie raserig tot baie laat in die aand. Inboek het lank geneem omrede ek betaal het en die ontvangs nie die betaling kon opspoor volgens hulle rekords nie. Ontvangsdame was vas aan die slaap om 04:45 wat ongemak veroorsaak het om uit te boek.

Got what I paid for; clean bed and bathroom.

Seeing as I was only staying overnight, the facility was adequate. However, the other guests near my room were very noisy until very late in the evening. Check-in took a long time because I paid and the reception couldn't track the payment according to their records. Receptionist was fast asleep at 04:45 which caused discomfort to book out.

Ideaal vir 'n vinnige oornag.

Die kamers het ongelukkig vreeslik na rook geruik en die bure het tot 2 uur geraas en hande geklap. Dit is ideaal vir 'n vinnige oornag met min geriewe.

Ideal for a quick overnight stay.

The rooms unfortunately smelled terribly of smoke and the neighbors made noise and clapped their hands for up to 2 hours. It is ideal for a quick overnight stay with few amenities.

Upgrade pending.

Place is located very close to airport. Place is nice and clean but needs drastic upgrade. The bed had been slept on years ago. The box tv is crying out for an upgrade. We had to ask for towels which we bitterly regretted. Ecotel you are ideally located for any person who has to fly early in the morning, spend some money to get the place back to standard.

Glad nie op standaard nie.

Ek sal Ecotel glad nie aanbeveel nie. Lyk redelik netjies van buite, maar sleg binne. Pleister dop van die mure af, alles verouderd en armsalig. Die bed se matras was seker 20 jaar oud en jy rol middel toe. Omgewing ook nie lekker nie.

Not up to standard at all.

I would not recommend Ecotel at all. Looks pretty neat from the outside, but bad inside. Plaster peels off the walls, all outdated and shabby. The bed's mattress was probably 20 years old and you roll to the middle. Environment not nice either.

Aaklig.

Dit was ongelooflik geraas met die ander gaste wat tot 12 uur in die aand geraas en geskree het. As jy 2 dae op 'n vliegtuig was, wil jy rus.

Horrible.

It was incredibly noisy with the other guests making noise and shouting until 12 o'clock in the evening. If you've been on a plane for 2 days, you want to rest.

Dit was wat ons verwag het.

Dit was netjies. Vriendelike ontvangs, al was dit laat in die aand. Net die aandete, wat ek aanneem vis was, het die hele hotel laat stink.

As 'n alleenloper vir die spesifieke tydperk het ek die rustigheid geniet. Die personeel was vriendelik. Die logde vertoon netjies en veilig. Sal weer van die akkommodasie gebruik maak.
