Like most of this hotel's clients, I used the Protea as a bolthole during a long connection, after a tiring journey from Australia (looks quite close on the map!). Open door, take shower, lie on bed, take another shower, go to gate, wait four hours for delayed aircraft. This was the first time that I have stayed in a room... More

Travelling 12+12hours total it is simply impossible to wait 8 hours without having a good shower and sleeping, definitely beautiful, nice attendants and "reasonable price" if negotiable. Good quality on soap, shampoo and bedclothes.

The Protea Hotel at the International Airport in Johannesburg is located inside the international airport terminal, before immigration. The location is great for travellers in transit without a south african travel visa. The rooms are clean and of a 4-5 star standard. There is free Wifi in the rooms upto a limit of 100MB per night.

We use this as a overnight hotel before heading out to Kruger. The shuttle service was good, the hotel staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Tip: To find the shuttle to hotel. Exit Airport and go across the road to Intercontinental. It's near the taxi and bus stand.

I had a long transit between flights and was dreading the 10hr wait in the transit lounge... but then I saw a sign to the 'Transit Hotel'... I walked up, checked in, and before I knew it I was showered, refreshed and laying in a plump pillowed clean sheeted bed! Excellent value and very very comfortable!

We had a night here courtesy of South African Airlines, after they failed to board us, and 8 other people on a flight to Livingstone. The room was large, clean and modern, with a glass shower enclosure, wash basin and separate toilet. Large fluffy towels and decent toiletries were provided, together with tea/coffee making facilities. The bed was large and... More
