The stay well and great, until another person received the same number as my room. The sad thing is that she open the door while I was still busy with my girl, other than that all was well

Comfortable and easily accessible
The rooms were tidy and very comfortable. From check in to check out everything went smoothly. The rooms needs to have hair dryers and irons to make the stay even more convenient. That way guests can fix themselves without having to call someone and checkout will be faster This was my 2nd stay at the hotel and won’t hesitate to book my next stay there.

The bedding and towels look very old and needs changing. I was not convinced of the cleanliness of my room at all as it was so stuffy and the sheets looked very old.

Poor Service from reception
Two times I booked through Hotel.Com and they refused to give me free breakfast that is on the advert. The advert on Hotels.Com says free Breakfast. They claimed that Hotels.Com gives them little money, hence they cannot give breakfast. After a lengthy argument, I gave up. This happened two times and I forwarded them proof of payment from Hotels.Com, but they were just not ready honor their promises. I will not recommend this hotel for international travelers. First time I was given room 109, when I got there I found that there someone's stuff and the bed is not ready someone just woke up. The girl apologized and gave me another room. In the morning - breakfast argument. Second time, I found a guy who looked like he is a senior person there and he promised to look into my first breakfast situation. He also requested I forward proof of payment, which he already has from Hotels.Com. Whoever own this hotel need to take his stuff for another training so that they know how to treat international people travelling into South Africa. The reception is worse than all 52 hotels I slept in throughout my travelling life.

Morning Star Express Hotel, Super Hotel services
Morning Star Express Hotel made my trip a memorable one. The fact that they deliver services as they said and they are already happy to help. I would recommend anyone to experience their super service.

Not the best choice
Although situated in centre of town, the area seems dodgy and unsafe. The hotel has a modern design in lobby and room. However the rooms are tiny and the bathrooms are very basic and not looked after. the shower is missing a head and water coming directly from the pipe. On the housekeeping level the hotel is kept very clean, but on the maintenance level its not up to standard. Staff was very friendly.

Check inn was not good. Spent more than 1 hour to have rooms keys. My vehicle was vandalized just in front of the hotel and hotel staff were not of any help. They just sanded and look to us cleaning the broken window glass

great hotel... poorly trained staff
I had a great stay but the staff needs to be professional hey... just because we were a young couple doesn't mean you should give us judgmental looks! I wouldn't spend another night at that hotel because of the discomfort the staff made me feel but everything else was perfect. #oh if you're going to give us a kettle to make coffee at least have a tap that's not in the toilet so we can get water to make the tea.

I wouldn't stay here again to be honest.
The hotel doesn't appear to be in a good area. Ask a local and they say it isn't at all, many were shocked that I was staying in that area. I wouldn't recommend a solo female traveler stays here. If you come home late at night you have to wait at the automatic gate for someone to come open for you. Considering the neighbourhood, I didn't particularly appreciate waiting at the gate to get in, I had to ring the bell several times until someone came out to assist. The car park is at the back of the property and doesn't feel safe. The room is small, they provide the bare minimum facilities and the view from my window overlooked "poor quality" accommodation. Location to the highway to get to Johannesburg/OR Tambo was very convenient however. Staff were pleasant.

Good little business hotel.
Loved my stay at this hotel, very well priced. My stay was during some renovations, but I didn't even know they were working on the hotel. My only gripe would be the doorstop for the bathroom door on the floor. Stubbed my toe every single night :(. In my opinion this doorstop is not even needed :). I was in room five oh nine.
