"Better than average airport hotel"
Room was comfortable and well-equipped.
Dinner was okay and we were given a very generous packed breakfast, as we had an early flight.
All staff friendly and helpful." See all these reviews: 11n in Zimbabwe; 8n in South Africa; 3n in Botswana
"Hotel Verde review"
However, if you need to be on a specific shuttle timewise, you should be at least 10 mins in advance at the lobby, because - if it's a busy time - they might not be able to pick up every passenger to the airport.
Your driving directions indicate to use the Borcherds Quarry Road.
However, this is not really save (actually, the UK government advises in their travel warnings not to use this road (because of road attacks: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/south-africa/safety-and-security).
One should rather use the "normal" Airport approach road (Exit 16 on M2), we think." See all these reviews: 14n in South Africa; 4n in Namibia

The only slight difficulty was finding the pick up point at the airport as it was signposted in opposite directions at the same time!" See all these reviews: 12n in South Africa
"Hotel Verde review"
It would have been helpful to know that we had to walk through the Cape Town airport to the shuttle area to pick up the hotel verde shuttle. We sorted it out though so no big problem" See all these reviews: 16n in South Africa
"Hotel Verde review"
"Wonderful surprise!"
Our room was on the third floor with a wet room shower actually in the room, which was very clean. The bed was really comfortable with good pillows. The carpet was rather worn and a little grubby but this was not surprising given the amount of use.
We ate in the restaurant for an evening meal and breakfast the next morning and the food was superb.
Certainly happy to recommend this hotel and we loved their 'eco-friendy' ethos." See all these reviews: 10n in South Africa; 3n in Zimbabwe; 2n in Botswana
