D'Oreale Grande at Emperor's Palace

Pam Humphreys

"D'Oreale Grande was super too."

John Cote

"We can see why you put us in Emperor's Palace (I figure convenience and security) Not sure where else would have worked for such a tight timeline."

Pamela Mehra

"The hotel d'Oreale was perfect for our flight home. We enjoyed the casino and shopping mall across the street."

Neil Williams

"The D'Oreal Hotel was very nice and very convenient to the airport."

Molly Quackenbush

"The D'Oreale was a great way to close the trip. They gave us a late check-out. All of these hotels were very clean, comfortable, and gave excellent service."

Gerben Kuijper

D'oreal was ok, probably we would take the Intercontinental next time, which saves time to get to and wait for the shuttlebus. All of us were too tired to make use of the casino at the d'oreal, dinner the last evening in the restaurant was served ver y efficiently.

Marcelle Delannes

"Our stay in Joburg (D'Oreale Grande) was very relaxing : a very good point for the hotel (well located, practical and high level services) and also the tours (safe and friendly)"

Judy Willis

"The D'Oreale Grande reminded us of Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. We had our first game meal (ostrich, warthog, kudu) for dinner and it was delicious."

Wendy Lee

Emmanuelle Poli

"I can't say that staying at the D'Oreale Grande is very exiting in this remote suburb, but at least the hotel is good and it is convenient to come from or to go to the airport."

William Saunders

"The D'Oreale Grand Hotel was very nice. A bit busy and noisy with the casino and shopping right there. Good location being close to the airport. Good for a one night stay."

Diana Cunha

Regarding the D'Oreale the hotel was really good and the kids loved the "casino" for children and the restaurants. For us, it was not exactly our type of hotel because we like smaller hotels. But we do understand that it was near the airport and to e ntertain the kids was the best.

David Larsen

"Everyone we came across on our journey to the bush, from the staff at the D'Oreale in Jo'burg, to the drivers for RNS Tours were all very nice to us. We have never had a trip that went so smoothly, without even the littlest of trouble."

Lynda Coomber

D'Oreale was also a good choice as it was so convenient for our airport connections - hard to imagine the actual physical location of the place when you are inside of it and on the grounds. We were pleasantly surprised that the cost of things for us

J&VD

Jon & Vicki Delgado

The hotel in JNB turned from comfortably adequate to absolutely fabulous, as they upgraded us to the 'Augustus' Grand Suite, which was truly grand. We ended up taking it in fully with a bath, Jacuzzi, sauna, and an 8 showerhead shower (all in suite).
