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

8/10 Good

"Right for what I needed!"

@Sandton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was everything and more. We really loved our stay and will definitely be back. The staff were lovely and made sure our stay was memorable. We never got to eat on the property due to our travel schedule but from observing the menu the Vegan options were limited. There is a lovely vegan restaurant in the mall right beside the hotel. The location is great as it is minutes from Sandton city the hotel has a shuttle service that can take you there. Only challenge when we used it was that it wasn’t reliable for return trips so we used an uber to get back but that was very cheap less than $4. Right beside the hotel there is a shopping mall with restaurants and grocery. We had a suite so we got a few things to have in our kitchen during our stay from the mall. I should also mention the cleanliness. The hotel was SPOTLESS. They did such an excellent job. Probably only thing that I would mention is that it was listed on Expedia as a VIP property but the hotel did not give us any VIP perks. For example we still had to pay for late check out by the hour. We did not receive any upgrades or free offers."
