"Extremely convenient stopover"
1 night Arrived 3 Sep 2016
"It’s location is it’s main selling point. Adequate rooms. Breakfast was ok, basic buffet fare, nothing special.
If I had to overnight in Jo’burg again, I would stay here just for the convenience, so to avoid lengthy road transfers and being dropped off at the airport way ahead of the flight time." See all these reviews: 7n in Botswana; 7n in Zambia; 5n in Tanzania; 1n in South Africa

"Overnight in Johannesburg"
1 night Arrived 3 Aug 2016
"This large hotel within walking distance of the terminal was excellent - No need to worry about taxis and getting back in time for your next flight.
The rooms are comfortable but do check that your window fits well otherwise the noise of the winter winds whistling will keep you up." See all these reviews: 5n in Mozambique; 2n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"City Lodge OR Tambo review"
1 night Arrived 29 Jul 2016
"This was an easy hotel for us to get to especially since our flight was delayed. We only had 3 1/2 hours there - arrived at 2:30 am and had to be at the airport at 6:30 am. We felt rushed.
We were not there long enough to see facilities or activities." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 2n in Rwanda; 1n in South Africa

"Great airport hotel"
1 night Arrived 22 Jul 2016
"We enjoyed our time at OR Tambo hotel.
We asked if we could stay an extra half day before our flight and, although, there was an additional charge, they were able to accommodate us.
We also had dinner and breakfast there and both were fine meals, especially breakfast." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 3n in Zambia; 1n in South Africa
