This hotel will be either great or not so great, depending on how and who you are traveling with. Things to be aware of (at least for our room...others can chime in with variations). -Door to bathroom and toilet is a glass, sliding, surface-mount door. This means the person sitting on the toilet is right in plain view of the... More

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night after arriving late and before leaving on our afternoon flight to Namibia the following day. The hotel provides free shuttle service (every 30 minutes) and is located a mere 5 minutes’ drive away. We were picked up from the Shuttle Pick-up Point located just by the side of Intercontinental Hotel – walk... More

Aviator was our layover hotel on our way to Botswana. The decor is hip Americana and I was surprised by some of the detail put into the lobby and the main areas. That said, the rooms were relatively simple. Our first room did not have functional AC, but after a little American pushy persuasion, we were relocated to a room... More

Stayed here on way to Malawi. It's convenient for such a stop-over as it is close to the airport...free shuttle is available. Too close to the airport as the noise of aircraft interfered with sleep....I suppose that was to be expected. Rooms adequate with all usual facilities. Was looking forward to a dip in the pool. However, had to abort... More

We found this an excellent choice for what we wanted - a short shuttle after a long tiring flight to a safe place, with a clean room, good food, friendly staff and free internet connection. It allowed us to recharge before proceeding on a long road journey the next day. It was exactly what we needed at a very reasonable... More

Hotel didn't suit our demands. Although close to the airport, still needed a shuttle to go there. Feeling a bit precarious when arriving there during the evening. Rooms were spacious but not clean. Non-defined hair in the sink. Terrible night. Seemed that planes landed in the backyard of the hotel. In addition, the noise of the closeby highway was even... More

Would only suggest this hotel if you have to only sleep between a late night and early morning flight or tour connection. The hotel rooms are very small and comparable to inside staterooms on a cruise ship in terms of size. The bathrooms are also very small and the glass door of my bathroom required strong muscles to open and... More

I attended a function held at the Aviator Life Hotel on Saturday. I was planning on booking the venue for 3 upcoming functions for my business. This is what I experienced. There wasn't enough food for the 200+ guests - more than half of the guests left not having any food!! the little food there was - was awful. There... More

My friend found a deal for this hotel on Booking.com and we stayed here the night before our flight. The service was polite and professional at the reception desk. They let us hang out even though we checked out of our rooms at 10am and arranged their shuttle to take us to the airport for our flight in the afternoon.... More

This hotel is ok for a very budget option close to the airport especially as they can arrange free airport transports (not airport connected just nearby). The reception (photo shown on the website) is nice and the airline theme is clever but the hotel rooms are very basic and I really wouldn't want to spend more than a night there.... More
