Hotels near Boksburg Public Library, Boksburg

The place is not too far from the airport (15-20min) and is in a bit of a safe, isolated part of Johannesburg. If you have a car or rent one, then life will be much easier as it is a bit far from city centers. There are places within 20 minutes within walking distance. If you are a walker, you don't *need* a car. Taxis like Uber and bolt don't seem to like coming out here, but the reception can call you a trusty private car. The whole place is quite clean and the staff are very friendly. They are willing to help with anything I've asked. ould recommend to others!

It has been a few years since my last stay at this hotel - and I am delighted to say, that this time around, I am even more impressed.. Check in was seamless.. (even for a group of 25 people).. smiles all around... and I was soon on my way by golf cart to room 610 in the estate, in the Silverbirch section of the estate hotel. the room had everything I could need - except for a bath.. not sure which room types would cater to this requirement at the hotel... but I am sure the reception would be able to change room types if required. Personally - my room had an in room safe, iron and ironing board, flat screen TV.. a noisy aircon ( old fashioned type that is wall-mounted ground level and blows air up into the room..) Walk in shower, plush pillows and linen .. Free Wifi .. ( a must in this day and age) The hotel has it all Rooms.. (Silverbirch, Birchwood and ValuStay.. plenty for any budget to pick from) Conference facilities.. the hotel sets the industry standard for conferencing and events. Gym Spa ( by Mangwanani) Several restaurants and eateries a pub ( on the grounds access by room key card.. ) Swimming pool more rooms lots of parking.. ( for both day visitors on conference ) and hotel guests in front of your room.. now... for the aircraft nerd in me.. the hotel could not be more suitable! .. personally I was delighted by being so close to the approach path and runway of OR Tambo Int airport,, seeing all the aircraft is truly a sight.. . BUT .. this also makes for the constant drone of this 737's A320's and the bigger birds.. a380's b777's B787's etc.. to touch down.. a bit much for someone that thinks they might have the tranquility as the estate might suggest. The rooms were quiet enough and I barely heard any aircraft while in my room.. but the moment you venture further out.. on the grounds.. the noise levels are luckily on the low.. as flights are coming in to land.. ( not as noisy as take off) The conference venues might also be impacted with the noise levels of the bigger aircraft coming over.. Note that most of OR Tambo's traffic arrives before 8PM and that the aircraft schedules most take off's on the run way that is a good 5km away in the opposite direction from the hotel.. so a good's night rest is still assured. Complimentary shuttles between the airport and hotel a full breakfast buffet with egg station and more options to shake a plate at.. The breakfast dining area is massive.. which should give an impression of how large the estate hotel truly is. Close to Eastrand Mall as well ( give or take another 5 Km's ) Overall... YES I will stay here again.. perhaps just a room that is closer ( sort of) to the breakfast area and check in.. convenient location - for sure! great stay - a resounding yes!

Excellent location – literally minutes away from the OR Tambo airport. There is a shuttle but it is difficult to locate it. Maybe some signage would help? Once we located it we were however in the hotel in about 5 minutes. The shuttle is quite efficient. The rooms are good sized but the bathrooms are small in comparison. The room was cleaned regularly. The coffee / tea amenities were good. The room I stayed in was however dated, needs updating of the rooms. The heater in my room did not work. I just hope it works during winter. On meals, Breakfast had a good spread on the buffet, very nice. It is the best meal of the day. Lunch and Dinner was also quite good though not as good in variety unless you use the ala carte menu. I did not use the restaurants much outside the meal times or the bar so I am not able to rate these for now. The 3 stars are largely due to the staff. Staff are generally slow, have a poor attitude and look like they have been forced to work. This was especially at the reception and in the dining. You really need friendlier staff at the reception! A good number of times staff paid more attention to speaking with their colleagues than serving guests. I would be in the middle of something with a staff member but another staff member comes to them speaking in their language and you have to wait. It happened to me too often for comfort. Never seen this anywhere else I’ve travelled. A few times they were also speaking across the room. We however met some lovely staff – a gentleman called Trust and a mature lady who was doing our eggs at breakfast, I forgot her name. Do not expect too much but it is an excellent location if having an early flight.

Layover stay. Was hospitable! Great breakfast food and comfortable dining hall. I love the big tables that allowed strangers to sit together!

OK, so let's start with the 'not-so-nice stuff'. Look, it is what it is. It's a 3-star (at best), hotel that was converted from apartments into a 'suite' experience hotel. It's cheap as chips, so with that in mind you're obviously not going to expect anything flash. The towels, while clean, could certainly do with being replaced. Overall, a fresh coat of paint would not hurt and the kettle was abysmal - we actually ordered our own kettle from 60/60 - the one in the room had not been descaled in...well, ever. It's very basic accommodation, the telephone in the room didn't work and the extractor above the stove was diabolical. Now, for the good stuff. The staff are AMAZING. So friendly and super helpful, check-in was breezy and even though we arrived a full 2 hours early, we hardly had to wait for our room to be ready. Aside from what I already mentioned, the room itself was SPOTLESS and that made up for the 'niggly' bits. The location is great, just a few minutes from the airport and close to the areas we had business in. Honestly, for what one pays for this place, there are no complaints. You can order from 60/60/ Uber Eats/Mr Delivery and there is a restaurant on site - although we didn't order from them, we left early and came back fairly late so it was just simpler to order in - and they delivered to the room. So all in, if you're not in Jozi for a holiday, then this place is kind of ideal. Internet was fast enough and complimentary and as we literally only used it as a base for our dealings in the big city, it was more than adequate.

FANTASTIC experience right from the moment I checked in. The hosts are super friendly and helpful, and even drove me to a shop nearby when I needed a SIM card. The property itself is PERFECT if you need a few days to relax and unwind after a stressful series of flights! The garden is lovingly manicured and even has a pool, which was a nice surprise. They also have a FREE shuttle service from and to the airport as long as you let them know when you need it. The hotel is only 5 minutes drive from O.R. Tambo airport too, so don't get scammed (like I did) by the airport taxis (they charged me 250 rand for a 5 minute drive!). The hotel has its own kitchen and menu and will deliver meals to your door, and they also have a small shop with toiletries, etc. which came in handy. WiFi is good too, even for video (definitely better than the airport's!😅). So, next time you're heading to Johannesburg, definitely book Emerald Hotel. Now I just wish I had booked 5 days instead of one! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am a youth leader taking a group to Port Elizabeth. Because of the way our flights worked out we had to spend the night in Johannesburg. I emailed 4 different hotels and Premiere Hotel was the only one to get back to me in a timely fashion. They were extremely helpful and responsive. Mercy was great to work with. They also arraigned transportation for all 34 of us from the airport to the hotel and once at the hotel we all ate in their restaurant and the food was wonderful. Pete, the restaurant manager, was extremely helpful. Overall Premiere hotel took what was the most stressful part of our trip and executed it wonderfully. The rooms were spacious and well appointed. The overall amenities of the hotel were absolutely wonderful. The management of this hotel should be proud. 10/10 I cannot recommend them enough.
