"City Lodge OR Tambo review"
1 night Arrived 9 Jul 2012
"Very convenient hotel, easily reached from the airport. Comfortable rooms, and good breakfast.
Only slight quibble - there were no luggage trolleys when we came out in the morning, for the walk back into the airport. I imagine they would have found one for us though, if we had asked." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa

"City Lodge OR Tambo review"
1 night Arrived 17 Jun 2012
"I stayed in this hotel for one night enroute to Botswana from the US. It was perfect since it's attached to the airport and you can just wheel your luggage right over. Also, we were continuing on to CapeTown after Botswana and they were kind enough to let us keep extra luggage there for free which we picked up before the second leg of our trip.
The hotel was very clean and modern and the rate included an excellent breakfast. We also had dinner at the hotel restaurant which was very tasty as well." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"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
