I live in Johannesburg and this is my second encounter at the Birchwood Hotel. Last year I was there for the SASCOC Coaching Conference and this time its for the National Lottery Board Indaba and we had the inaugural dinner awards last night. Their staff is always sooo pleasant and helpful :) Its always a pleasure visiting the Birchwood Hotel... More

What a tremendous treat you gave Reon & I. A real spoiling. We so enjoyed our dinner at the Grill the food was really great and the service excellent. We walked round the grounds and admired what you are doing to green the Hotel. Lewis Pugh`s talk was more than inspirational it was a lesson in sheer determination.How he could... More

My husband and i... More

He did not hesitate to accommodate me when I wanted to view the different rooms and was friendly at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend Birchwood Hotel... More

Stayed at the above on a few occasions whilst on trips to S.A. ideal for most amenities and close to the airport, approx 15mins. East Rand Mall has all you could wish for in the way of shopping. Plenty of restaurants close by as well.

In the ensuing 10 years, it's pretty much doubled in size (if not more), and this has had both good and not so good effects on the quality of service offered at the hotel. For example, the newer side... More
