Top Johannesburg Hotel Reviews

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at this hotel many times Nd have always enjoyed the convenience of being attached to the airport."

Southern Sun O.R Tambo

8/10 Good

"I arrived early because my flight from Asia landed early. I had informed them about this and requested an early check-in. The receptionist kindly found me an available room with little wait. However, the room was dark and cold (in November!), so I sometimes had to use the heater. Breakfast was good, but during the peak hours, the service became slow and inattentive."

Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed on 3 separate occasions during our stay in Johannesburg. The proximity to the airport is excellent. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was very good and the pool was lovely. The service from all the staff was excellent. They were friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. The IHG rewards app is definitely worth having."

ONOMO Hotel Johannesburg Sandton

8/10 Good

"This hotel is as advertised - 3-star, nothing too fancy. But it is in good condition, has an excellent location (restaurants, shops and the convention centre), and the staff's attitude is really great. This is the 3rd time I've stayed here, and it is always consistent. The included breakfast is also not over the top, but it has everything one needs. Great (free) on-site parking as well."
