Road Lodge Cape Town International Airport

• While rooms are basic and clean with hot water and comfortable beds, the advertised free breakfast and shuttle services turned out to be unavailable or cost extra.
• The restaurant service is extremely slow, with 50-minute waits for food even when not busy.
• Front desk staff, including management, were unhelpful and rude when addressing service discrepancies.
• No elevator, guests must carry luggage up stairs to upper floor rooms.
• Airport shuttle is outsourced to a taxi company that must be arranged separately and costs extra despite being advertised as free.
• Rooms are extremely small, barely enough floor space to open a large suitcase, with double beds under 160cm wide.
• Located opposite Cape Town International Airport but requires driving through an area where visitors report vehicle break-ins.
• No walking path to the airport, transportation is required even though the hotel is airport-adjacent.
• Hotel frequently fails to honor advance arrangements like connecting rooms or baby beds, even when confirmed months ahead.
