What is the difference between a 3-star hotel and a motel in Johannesburg?

A motel is a good option if you're planning to tour around Johannesburg. These escapes are usually found near airports and highways, feature on-site parking and come with basic services and amenities. Check in to a 3-star hotel and you'll be more centrally located. With a larger range of rooms and more amenities such as a lobby, gym and business facilities, you can expect to pay extra for hotel lodgings.

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff here are of an excellent standard across the board, from check-in to wait staff and cleaning. The breakfast and dinner buffets are some of the best you’ll see with excellent selection of meats, veg, etc."

Garden Court Sandton City

4/10 Poor

"The ratings would have been higher had the property paid attention to critical service issues that were identified and brought to their attention. I was in room 553 and complained from the first day of an unpleasant odor emanating from the drains (face basin, tub, and shower) in the bathroom. Instead of moving my reservation to a different room, they just removed the caps of the drain, stating they cleaned them. That was far from the truth; we instead had to deal with the unpleasant smell for the duration of the entire stay. Vacationers, please beware of that room."
