Vista Ort

It's a good place to book when having early flights. Close to airport and the location is good. The place ic clean and nice and the staff are also friendly. I was satisfied with the price paid.

First, the good: clean, pleasant staff (1 lady), inexpensive, AC, very early transport to airport, tasty breakfast sack. However, please know these drawbacks before you book: 1. we booked from USA and tried to contact them about airport transport by repeated emails and phone, then tried at the airport to learn the published number on the website was wrong. 2. the one staff member seemed to have so many responsibilities she was hardly ever at the front desk if you needed something and there was no way given to contact her. 3. The room was very sparsely furnished with one towel for two people (at request provided another), no kettle for tea or coffee, bathroom faucet loose, no hairdryer, no tv signal, no tv remote. 4. No information given or in room about TV, internet password, amenities available. 5. Transportation to airport was not free as indicated on website; we were charged R250 for two passengers. However, they were timely for an early morning flight.

Our Journey To South Africa It was a long flight from California to Johannesburg, South Africa over 20 hours in the air. When our plane had landed, a staff from Vista ORT was present holding up a sign with my name Yukiko on it. He had a big wide smile and said welcome I will be driving you back to the hotel. Late in the evening we arrived about 7:00pm. After checking in at the front desk he then carried our luggage to our room where we slept, and breakfast would be served in the morning at 7:00 am. The bed had futon blankets and was very warm. In the morning, we were blessed to have birds singing. Everyone was warm and friendly; I felt just like being at home. The breakfast was served with hot, food that they brought to us, my milk was warm which I really much enjoyed. Everywhere was safe and the shuttle driver would take us and bring us back. Suggestions were made of our surroundings, and a guide would always be with us sharing education and knowledge. The days were inviting with sunshine and when we were not at Vista ORT we were sightseeing and enjoying our vacation in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Nice people. I had to leave early but they went to the trouble of preparing a sack lunch for me

Excellent shuttle service. Contacted them ahead and it worked nice and smoothy, both to and from the airport. Staff were quite noisy in the corridors and this is one thing that could be easily improved. Comfortable bed, nice breakfast, bathroom was sufficient for needs.
