A perfect overnighter. The hotel was easy to get to and relatively quiet. The room was clean and the bed/ pillows were comfortable. The check in was very efficient at 2 minutes. The breakfast was good with variety, and fresh fruit and a hot meal if wanted all served in a nice quiet area. They do charge for WiFi! You... More

If you are looking for a luxury hotel, don't stay here. If you are looking for a clean hotel to crash at between flights, this is the hotel for you! This hotel is roughly a 10 minute walk through the airport terminal. You never have to go outside! The rooms are spartan - no frills, but not terrible. Our bed... More

An ideal stopover to catch an early am flight - if you don't trust the Gautrain 2 days ago passengers were such for an hour and a half en route to OR Tambo Airport. Ideally situated between the international and domestic terminals. A comfortable clean room for a 1 nighter.Simple Restuaran for a light supper and a buffet breakfast. Good... More

After visiting Cape Town, we had a mid-morning flight from Johannesburg to Europe. Instead of taking a very early flight from Cape Town and risking a missed connection, we decided to fly to Joburg the night before, especially when we saw that City Lodge is at the airport. And what a great decision it was! The hotel was very easy... More

I've stayed at the City Lodge at O.R. Tambo several times, usually to overnight to catch an early morning connecting flight, or before beginning some work in Johannesburg. This City Lodge is a bit more expensive than some of the other City Lodge properties close by, but the convenience to the airport makes it worth it. There is 15 minutes... More

I must say how pleasantly surprised we were by this conveniently located hotel within walking distance from the airport terminal. As we arrived late in the evening and had an early morning departure it was most advantageous.
