Southern Sun O.R Tambo

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay , i would definitely recommend"

Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"Weeks before our trip I chatted with someone online and then proceeded to call the front desk of the property to find out if there was self-laundry (something very important to us since we were coming in the afternoon, after 2 weeks traveling and leaving the next day for a 4 day safari). I checked and double checked and was even given hours that it operated and how to pay for it. We arrived and were told there was no such thing and they couldn’t do it for us before we left. Ended up having the safari hotel do it for us for quite a large cost that we weren’t expecting. We returned to the same hotel for the remainder of our stay and when checkinf in, were told that breakfast was not included even though my reservations clearly showed it. I brought up my reservations in my room and called down to desk. Was told they would check on it and would call back. No call back. Next morning I showed the front desk but the guy disapperead and said he had to check. Our ride was there and so we had to leave. Finally that evening we stopped by the desk and they said oh yes breakfast is included. There was obviously some miscommunication at the front desk."

Protea Hotel by Marriott O.R. Tambo Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Check in - super quick and easy. Staff are SUPER friendly and accommodating. Room - decent size but the shower is in the bedroom, separated by only a curtain. It’s a bit awkward. Toilet has its own room with a door. Decor and styling were stylish and flight themed. Hotel - has a great restaurant and bar, showing sports in the evening. Airport shuttle was free and easy to find and hop on. No reservation needed."

Radisson Hotel and Convention Centre OR Tambo Airport

8/10 Good

"Dining room staff were not good at taking an order for an evening meal and following up that the meal had been delivered to the table. The vegetables and fries were cool indicating that perhaps the meal was waiting around. There were not many smiles either. Conversely the reception staff were excellent. they helped with changing the room to a twin and to help organise a tour for the following morning. They also had lovely smiles as did the breakfast staff. Excellent omelette."
