mick

The staff were good. The meals were nice in the restaurant. The beds were comfortable though small doubles. No fans in the toilet / shower. No air con or heater for that matter. Needs some maintenance. Close to airport. Not close to shopping centre you could walk to. Front room was very noisy from internal car and bike traffic. Away from the driveway was a lot quieter

Stayed 4 nights, Staff happy and polite. Food was basic, cooked but not prepared on site. The ice cream was worth having with every meal, which I did. No air conditioning. The airplane noise was not that intrusive. The pool was cleaned every day. The shower ran hot and cold when it felt like it. Overall good value for money. Would not want to stay there long term. Would I stay there next time I was in Johannesburg, I definitely would.

The Emerald is a beautiful, homey place and I enjoy stopping there on my frequent trips. It's affordable, and simple (no extra accessories), but I am good with that. Always very clean. They are very convenient coming from the airport on the hourly shuttle service. Being a single lady traveling alone, I would appreciate it if the door were a little stronger (no loose door knob, a sturdier lock, etc.) just for securit's sake, but otherwise I am happy with the property and services. Thank you Emerald!
