"City Lodge OR Tambo review"
1 night Arrived 26 Mar 2012
"Conveniently located and cheap food. Ideal for enforced overnight stay in Johannesburg.
Would have appreciated detailed instructions on how to get there though, which level to cross the road on in particular, as we had heavy bags which we had to carry up and down the escalator. On the return we discovered we were able to push a trolley all the way across at an upper level." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 5n in Mozambique; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa

"City Lodge OR Tambo review"
1 night Arrived 20 Dec 2011
"This hotel had the perfect and most convenient location. Truly a 5 minute walk to your bed after a 15hour flight. We had over nighted here 3 different times on our 1 month journey and each visit it was like a welcome home stop.
We very much enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The fitness area was a treat after sitting in a safari jeep for 2 weeks. Exercise!!!!! The inclusive breakfast was delicious and we also loved happy hour drinks and dinner without having to go anywhere except down the hall.
My only recommendation would be free unlimited internet. I would expect that at this type of hotel." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 5n in Zimbabwe; 4n in Seychelles; 3n in South Africa

"Typical airport hotel. Very convenient - walking distance within the airport area.
Very limited dining facilities for evening meal with small menu. Cannot comment on breakfast as we had to depart before breakfast was served." See all these reviews: 8n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa
