African Kingdom Guest House

How close it was to the airport, and how friendly the lady at the reception was

I wish there was a heater in the room

They require your ID or passport during check in, this is something the guests should know before booking. It should be written on the website or something

It’s a separate room

None

The location is excellent -very close to the airport and ideal for an overnight stay. It’s also within walking distance of East Rand Mall, which was perfect for grabbing breakfast and lunch. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and kindly stored my bag while I went out, which made things really convenient. The room itself was comfortable, had a fridge, and I wasn’t disturbed by any noise from neighbouring rooms.

The main downside is that the property sits directly under the airport flight path. You can clearly hear planes taking off from the room, and it can be quite loud at times. Earplugs are definitely recommended if you’re a light sleeper. That said, once I used earplugs I slept very well and managed a solid 7 hours of sleep.

The staff was quite helpful

There was no bar fridge in the room and the shower is too small
