A new hotel only 5 mins in a taxi from the airport costing R200..... A real funky vibe about this place and i will now always use it for my stopovers as the price was amazing! Great food in the restaurant...& then a cozy lounge to order drinks & relax post meal. A great outdoor swimming pool adds charm to... More

We only stayed the one night to make plane connections. The free shuttle to and from the airport is extremely helpful. Rooms are modern and comfortable and the restaurant and bar are pleasant places to spend time. Free wireless access appreciated.

I stayed in this hotel for two days/nights having had to do some business in the greater Johannesburg area. The paraphernalia and theme of the hotel is quite different, with much of the imagery resembling an airport hanger, etc. Rooms were very neat, modern and I found it comfortable with everything I needed during a very pleasant stay. The hotel... More

We spent a night unexpectedly at the Protea Hotel at OR Tambo airport en route to Cape Town. We were so impressed! Our room was small but had absolutely everything you would need, it was clean, the bathroom was new and spotless and the bed was super comfortable. We ate twice in the restaurant - dinner and breakfast. We couldn't... More

The elevator has oxygen masks like the once onboard aircrafts, there is a "real" flight simulator in the lobby and y towels were folded like dogs on the bed. Who would not love this place? Very close to the airport, can actually se the terminal and boarding gates from the hotel bar. The restaurant was well above what you would... More

We stayed here after arriving from out International flight to Johannesburg. The free airport shuttle was convenient and on time. We were only at the hotel for a little over 12 hours, but it was a very reasonable and comfortable airport hotel. The free internet was great too which allowed us to check in to our flight to Zambia the... More

Stayed here for one night after an international flight. You can always expect a certain level of service from Protea hotels and this is not exception. The room is not large. I believe most people don't stay long enough to unpack. The bed, TV, buffet dinner are all very nice. Cute little touches to make it feel like an airport... More

We stayed at this hotel en route from Zimbabwe to Cape Town. It was run very efficiently, the staff were helpful, the room was "state of the art", and the food was delicious. We would recommend the buffet at the evening meal where there was a wide choice for each course. The only negative was that, although we were given... More

Similar experience with other Proteas- nice decor, clean, easy to do laundry, get a meal, park, etc. We used the shuttle at the airport to get to the location easily, just a 5-10 minute drive. My only complaint about this Protea is that the shower is inside the bedroom and there is no shower curtain. The design is beautiful but... More
