The hotel was really busy dealing with conferences and the receptionist told us to sit and wait for our room as it's not clean yet. After over 30mins wait we were offered a double room instead of a twin we booked, or wait even longer due to the conferences. We finally got our room key about 9pm. The food, staff and room all fine at the hotel but we felt like our booking didn't count as we are 1 room and the conference matter more as they had hundreds of rooms. Wouldn't stop here again or recommend it to anyone, unless it was for a conference and not a leisure visit or stop over as this is the only type of customers that this hotel are bothered about. ##### linda ### 6/10 Okay #### Jesper, Lynæs May 31, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Stort, slidt konferencested nær lufthavn Værelser ligger som rækkehus-bebyggelser med P-plads direkte foran hver indgangsdør. Ret store afstande fra værelser til reception, morgenmadsrestaurant, konference-lokaler o.s.v. Man skal bevæge sig udendørs mellem faciliteterne - fint i godt vejr, men mindre hensigtsmæssigt i stærk hede eller regnvejr. Værelser har det mest nødvendige og er store, men lidt slidte/gamle, med helt antikveret billedrørs-TV. En del støj fra generatorer til back-up af el-system - de kørte næsten uafbrudt i de tre dage, jeg var der. Meget lav hastighed på internet/WiFi. ##### Jesper ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 10, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Transit at Johannesburg My stay was very pleasant except for the annoying power cut which resulted in me being moved to another room as I was too close to the noisy back up generator that had to be activated. The staff was quick to apologies and made the room transfer with no hassle what so ever. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 10, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### CKD Summit I stayed for only one night.

Correu quase tudo bem com o Birchwood Hotel. Apenas achamos a iluminação do quarto um pouco deficiente, sobretudo no banheiro. O restaurante de carnes (Grill) do hotel tinha preços bons, mas boa parte dos pratos não estava disponível. Por outro lado, o restaurante Tazza Café tinha preços ainda melhores e estava servindo o que aparecia no menu. O principal problema foi que o hotel, próximo do aeroporto internacional, fica a cerca de 30 kms do centro da cidade, em um subúrbio de Joanesburgo. E o transporte público em toda a cidade é incrivelmente deficiente. Os taxis não podem ser pegos na rua. É preciso contratá-los nos hotéis e os preços tendem a ser abusivos. A distância de caminhada do hotel ficam alguns outlets de marcas conhecidas e um pequeno mall, que não chega a ser um shopping center, mas quebra o galho. É importante notar que o hotel tem um shuttle gratuito conectando com o aeroporto, que nos pareceu bastante útil e eficiente. ##### Carlos Henrique ### 8/10 Good #### Nicolette May 5, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Nicolette ### 10/10 Excellent #### iZArte, Zutphen Apr 7, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent first time in a new Silverbirch room Not to forget: a breakfast in the Petit Restaurant is a very friendly and delicious start of the day.

Even though I made the booking with Hotels.com (and paid) over three months before my stay, the hotel had no record of me when I arrived. After a long day, this was irritating and unnecessary. After about half an hour, the management agreed to provide a room against a credit card imprint, and from then on, the stay was pretty good. By the time I left, an e-mail had been sent to me home PC confirming that the booking was found and that no additional extra would be taken. This aspect needs to be tidied up. The location is a busy conference centre on an extensive site, so golf carts take guests to and from reception.When I was leaving, I called for a cart but seven calls and two and a half hours later, I walked ten minutes to reception to check out, with no cart in evidence. I had agreed that in the circumstances, this "late" check-out was not a problem. Luckily, I was in no hurry to hit the road, so no harm done, but if I had been leaving for the airport, I would have been stressed! Needs a little polishing, but I would certainly stay there again. ##### Stephen ### 8/10 Good #### Rando, Zürich Mar 25, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Comfortable Stay near OR Tamboo Quite and verry usefull ##### Rando ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 18, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 15 Years ExperienceI I have been staying at The Birchwood when arriving/departing on my annual visit to South Africa for the past 15 years. During this time it has grown in status and stature every year providing comfort, convenience, beauty, safety and friendly service all at 5 star level and a reasonable price. This year was no exception. I would not consider anywhere else. Looking forward to next year and more after that. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth, Port Elizabeth Mar 8, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Interesting stay The stay was interesting. I was surprised at the size of the hotel. The room is clean and neat. The staff is friendly and counter service efficient. It was the first time I was carted around in a golf cart between my room and the main building. It was fine but I can imagine that it may be cold in winter. I would like to recommend that you put up a notice board / map which indicates the location of venues that also clearly display which workshops / conferences are held in each venue. ##### Elizabeth ### 6/10 Okay #### Federico, rome Mar 3, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### quick stop in johannesburg Comfortable and with all the primary needs fully satisfied. Remark on wi-fi in the room, it was really unstable and sometime not usable. ##### Federico ### 10/10 Excellent #### Etta, Bloemfontein Feb 27, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### awesome stay It was marvellous. I'm definitely going to stay there again ##### Etta ### 6/10 Okay #### Andre, windhoek Feb 23, 2015 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Good choice for a night I just stay 1 night. I choose this hotel because it is near the airport, there was a shuttle from and to the airport and the shopping center. But the room was not as it may be at the reservation. No aircon, 2 beds but no 1 queen size... But the reception could change the room, but we had preferred to stay in our room ##### Andre ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Feb 18, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Decent but not exceptional Sounds of airplanes taking off and landing can be heard but overall a neat comfortable hotel. Wont be a bad idea to change the TV which was a bit old and showers are very small ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### JOHNNY, Rustenburg Feb 18, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### NOISY STAY It was a good stay. The noise was just terrible at night. There was a baby screaming for 3 hours non-stop, and the other guests were very roudy when returning to their rooms. As we were doing a cycle race early the next morning, this was very disturbing as it kept us from getting a good nights sleep. Service at reception was excellent. ##### JOHNNY ### 8/10 Good #### Lebogang, Gaborone, Botswana Feb 16, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay I attended a two day workshop there, the room was very comfortable, i like the idea of a lockable closet. The hotel offers porter transport around the yard, which makes it easy to get around especially when you are unfamiliar with surroundings. ##### Lebogang ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joonsung, Busan Feb 5, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Really good ##### Joonsung ### 8/10 Good #### Bernard, Seychelles Jan 5, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Hotel very well situated and close to malls Pleasant but could have been better if all the facilities were available and free wifi was also available in the room. ##### Bernard ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 25, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Bruyant Hôtel confortable et propre avec un service mais cependant trop bruyant même pour une nuit en transit. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 14, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Flughafenhotel mit kostenlosem Shuttle Ideal für einen Zwischenstopp in Johannesburg. Ideal für Flugzeugfans, die vormittags Flugzeuge im Anflug sehen wollen. Für alle anderen muss natürlich mit Fluglärm gerechnet werden. ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### lyn, Uk Dec 11, 2014 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### I didn't want to complain I booked on internet n the hotel was not expecting me. They gave me a dirty room n I had to ask the cleaners to clean. The bathtub was blocked ##### lyn ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I stayed two nights. The reception was very kind, and the room condition was excellent ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### Deb, Vereeniging Nov 25, 2014 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Never Again Room paid in full for king size bed before arrival. On arrival was told there were no king size beds available. Bath hose attachment in need if repair. Leaking caused floor to flood. Non smoking room with strong smell of cigarette smoke. Never again. ##### Deb ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in England](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-England-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11218-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Library Hotel by Library Hotel Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Library-Hotel-By-Library-Hotel-Collection.h533436.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Sedona by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Sedona-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Sedona.h27882.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Suites at Cowichan Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Duncan-Hotels-Oceanfront-Suites-At-Cowichan-Bay.h900514.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Orillia Opera House](https://www.expedia.ca/Orillia-Opera-House-Hotels.0-l6143403-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Capsule Hotels Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Canada-Capsule-Hotels.d31-aaCapsuleHotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Sofitel Montevideo Casino Carrasco and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Montevideo-Hotels-Sofitel-Montevideo-Casino-Carrasco-And-Spa.h5496466.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Florida](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Florida-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d211-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Rosewood Baha Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/Nassau-Hotels-Rosewood-Baha-Mar.h8695378.Hotel-Information) > > [Rome Life Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Rome-Hotels-Rome-Life-Hotel.h6657811.Hotel-Information) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Simcoe](https://www.expedia.ca/Simcoe-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d9794--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Westin-Trillium-House.h1357075.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Thunder Bay (YQT) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqt/yeg/thunder-bay-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Aluva (COK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cok/toronto-to-cochin) > > [Flights from Fairbanks (FAI) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fai/yyc/fairbanks-to-calgary) > > [flights from orlando sanford intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/sfb/flights-from-orlando-sanford-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Stanfield Intl. to YTO-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yto/halifax-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to St. Louis (STL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/stl/calgary-to-st-louis) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yyz/vancouver-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Carlsbad (CLD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/cld/calgary-to-carlsbad) > > [Air India](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-India-Flights.cAI.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Bengaluru (BLR) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/blr/del/bengaluru-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Frankfurt (FRA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/fra/montreal-to-frankfurt) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Kathmandu (KTM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ktm/toronto-to-kathmandu) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In Invermere](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-Invermere.d10773-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Richmond Night Market](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Night-Market-Richmond-City-Centre.d6265555.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/13/Bahamas) ### Vacation Rentals > [Port Stanley Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Port-Stanley-Vacation-Rentals.d181900.Travel-Guide-VacationRentals)
