We required a room for 1 night for an early connecting international flight. Our initial choice was the Intercontinental as we thought it would be nice to just walk across to the airport, but we discovered one pays dearly for that privelage! Due to the fact that they do not accommodate more than 2 persons per room, we would have... more

The Southern Sun OR Tambo is the place to stay if you need to transit at Johannesburg International airport. Clocking in well under half the price of the Intercon, it is still a 4-5 star luxury hotel with brilliant rooms, great service and excellent meals in the restaurant. Complimentary wine and cheese is served each evening in the lobby. A... more

My wife, older son and I stayed at the Southern Sun near the O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg for several nights in March and April. The hotel rooms are adequate, the fitness center excellent, and the dinner buffet bountiful and fairly priced. There is a business center and internet service that you must pay for, and the arrival glass... more

I stay regularly at the Southern Sun OR Tambo and wouldn't stay anywhere else. It is a great hotel for a quick overnight and being located within airport grounds means you can sleep in a little longer to catch your morning flight. Hotel offers a free shuttle service from behind the Intercontinental Hotel. It is not far to walk and... more

We stayed here for one night before our flight back to the UK. There was a bit off confusion as to where to get the shuttle bus you have to catch it behind the intercontinental hotel but it takes 2 minutes to get to hotel. Staff are very good and hotel facilities are first class. We only had one problem... more

Be careful, there are two Southern Sun hotels at this airport. One is also known as the Garden Court Hotel. This unfortunately led to some confusion with my booking and my family and I were taken to the wrong one by Airport transfer at 11.30pm after a very long day only to be told we needed to get across the... more

This is a great airport hotel! I was doing quite a lot of research to find a decent, reasonably priced hotel near Johannesburg Airport (O.R. Tambo). We booked Southern Sun O.R. Tambo International and we can certainly recommend it to others. It was at first a bit difficult to find the shuttle service at the airport, but we asked around... more

We stayed in for 2 Nights (on separate Occasions) for overnight flights during our Honeymoon in January. I found this hotel to be very handy to the Airport, There is a free shuttle from the Shuttle bay outside the Intl Arrivals/Departures building and Across the Road. You get to the Hotel in 5 minutes once in the Minibus. The Hotel... more

A have stayed quite a few times at this hotel. Most of the time after arriving after a late flight arrival at OR Tambo international airport or prior to departure of an early morning flight. The staff is great at this hotel. Welcoming doesnt start at the reception, but at the door already. The lobby is spacious, modern and relaxed.... more
