"InterContinental O.R. Tambo review"

1 night Arrived 23 Sep 2022
"It does what it says on the tin. Just wonderfully convenient.

Obviously in great demand. We saw a middle aged man try and bribe the receptionist to get a room by placing bill after bill on the desk.

He got to $400 before he realised that there really was no room at the Intercontinental!" See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 1n in South Africa

"InterContinental O.R. Tambo review"

1 night Arrived 4 Oct 2019
"We were only here for a very short stop-over but the hotel, the room, dinner and breakfast were all very good---and they have the advantage of a lovely outside terrace where you can sit to read, relax of eat or drink something

One thing to note for anyone staying perhaps a bit longer than us, was a hotel mentioned to us by a couple at Old Mondoro---called The Peech--30 mins drive from Jo'Burg Airport

Evidently, it is in beautiful gardens and is a really great place to relax if you have longer to wait for a connecting flight---I have not looked at their website, but were we arriving around lunchtime one day, and not then flying again until the late afternoon the following day, then this hotel would be our hotel of choice

So you might like to investigate this hotel for future guests?" See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia; 6n in Mozambique; 3n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa
