Hotels near OR Tambo Airport, Johannesburg

Pros: Security and location

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very good value for money and personal attention from the owners who clearly care a lot.

Pros: The establishment is situated close to OR Tambo airport (I drove there in 15 min during morning peak). The room is well-equipped, and comfortable, and Pam makes you feel welcome. The breakfast was excellent and ready in an instant.

Cons: Nothing not to like.

Pros: I only stayed one night in transit through JHB but the room was clean, comfortable and had all the required amenities. The breakfast was great and the hosts were very helpful and friendly.

Cons: A wider variety of TV channels would have been appreciated rather than just the SABC and E-TV channels but it wasn't a big issue.

Pros: Pam and Malcom are wonderful hosts, they will take excellent care of you and any special needs you may have. They offer a shuttle service which is most helpful. They are only an 8min drive to the airport.

Pros: Helpful staff. Quietness. Everything was beyond my ecpextation.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Words can't describe how great our stay was. Pam is amazing and after the first night we felt like family. She has a way at making you feel at home. We were there during the coronavirus crisis and she was beyond helpful. Amenities are perfect: cute garden, confortable and clean room, very nice shared living room. Very close to the airport which is super convenient, lots of place to eat or have your food delivered around. Pam you already know how much we are grateful for meeting you and we will see each other for sure <3

Cons: nothing

Pros: We are still here at Sunrock one big family all stranded. All hoping to get repatriated soon. Locked down at request of South African government. We are being looked after so well by the owners. Thank them please.

Cons: Nothing to dislike about sunrock ALL IS GOOD

Pros: Transfer from airport to Hotel as described in email, was on time, and good service

Cons: All was perfect

Pros: I loved my stay at this property, and would definitely stay there again if I was passing through Jo’burg. I booked my stay last minute due to ever changing travel circumstances because of the current pandemic. With only 12hrs notice they were able to pick me up from the airport (at 4:30am!), and also gave me a room at the back of the property to make sure I wasn’t disturbed in the morning! I was also able to check out a few hours later than normal (obviously subject to availability) which helped a lot because I was able to get some decent sleep before my overnight flight back to Australia. The pool area is so beautiful and peaceful, and I had a massage as well, reasonably priced and exactly what I needed to loosen up after 7 weeks of travel, and before a long flight. Be was super comfortable, good shower pressure, and a bunch of thoughtful touches in the room that I was pleasantly surprised at! They also have a few menus from local restaurants, and will order on your behalf, which I found very useful.

Pros: Nice to have an honesty bar. Breakfast was good.

Pros: Great Shuttle Service, perfect for a stay-over before you fligh out of Johannesburg

Cons: Shower was not clean Parts of the food seems to be out of a can

Pros: Friendly accommodating staff. The free airport shuttle was great

Pros: Zero out of 10

Cons: Shocking attitude from staff regarding Coronavirus cancellation. I always spend the night to collect or drop off people from airport. Way over priced now but I still stay loyal. Have been using this guest house and sending people for many years. NEVER AGAIN

Pros: The entertainment and the hostess was lovely and his security was also nice and helpful

Pros: Best location you can get. Very comfortable and clean

Cons: Breakfast buffet was a bit light and not to normal standards of the Intercontinental chain

Pros: Location as it is right in front of the airport

Cons: Cost should be more in line with other hotel rates in South Africa

Pros: Great location for someone arriving Johannesburg one day and leaving the next. Hotel is 3-minute walk from Airport, which has luggage carts you can push over there and leave. Bellman will take you to ticket counter for check-in the next day. Great staff, genuinely pleased that you are there. Excellent food. Soundproof, no airport noise. I normally stay at Sandton Hilton near my business partners' office, but when staying overnight to connect a flight the next day, the added cost of this hotel is absolutely worth while. I shall return.

Cons: Cannot think of anything I did not like.

Pros: Close to the airport Clean Quiet

Cons: We booked a room but could not make use of the room due to the lockdown April 26. Had to travel back from where we started but left our luggage at the hotel. Flew back yesterday but could not retrieve our luggage due to lockdown. We are now back in Switzerland and ask ourselves on how we can get our two pieces of luggage back! Maybe somebody of the hotel can assist! Thanks Beat Lieberherr

Pros: The staff are not trained professionally. Person answering the phone no telephone etiquette at all. Facility great but staff not great

Cons: Property is great

Pros: Breakfast was out of this world... the choices we had were fabulous..something for any taste or diet. would recomend to everyone visiting your establishment to do so. Your staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons: The first coffee we had was very cool.....second was better..but not the standard of your food.

Pros: Quality of room and restaurant were nice, as well as location close to casino.

Cons: Ordered wake-up call - never came, lucky to have woken up on my own. Ad said international outlets were in the room - they were not. Airport shuttle bus had a schedule, arrived on time, but then didn't depart for 15 minutes.

Pros: Very dark in the rom!

Cons: Stronger lightening

Pros: Location and property is good. Breakfast very good.

Cons: Reception service is poor. Insted of king size bed. They arranged 2 single bed which was not comfirtable

Pros: hotel apperance is nice

Cons: toilets and bathrooms are tooo SMALL FOR A 5 STAR HOTEL SPA FACILITIES AND POOL FACILITIES CLOSE AT 7PM ITS A SHAME YOU CHECK IN AT 3PM AND ONLY HAVE 4 HOURS TO MAKE USE OF THESE FACILITIES INDOOR SPA POOL CLOSES AT 7PM SHOCKING

Pros: Clean rooms, nice bed, good restaurants nearby and great breakfast. Shuttle service back and forth to the airport was excellent.

Cons: Older rooms, staff is okay and hotel a bit pricey

Pros: From checking to check out perfect

Pros: The hotel is an excellent choice if you want to stay close to the airport but still don't want to feel like staying at the airport. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The lounge area is very inviting for relaxation and the hotel offers various areas and lounges to unwind and relax in general. The food was very good especially considering the reasonable price.

Pros: Always a pleasant stay.

Cons: The towels are getting old and worn out and the shower stalls still leak water onto floor. Sad that the spa and gym has been out sourced

Pros: I liked most things to be honest. The hotel is close to the airport. The shuttle makes it easy and safe for us to get there although it's very uncomfortable. The roomvand bed was nice and clean. Food is great.

Cons: I didn't like shower. It is difficult to operate. You don't know how to get hot or cold water. I had to wash with semi cold water. TV remote control is not clear or easy to use. Some buttons are hidden like the volume one. I to listen to high volume tv the whole night until the next morning to get someone to help me. The shuttle car is not comfortable either.

Pros: It was a nice hotel and close to the airport.

Cons: The construction going on.

Pros: Beautiful room. Great service. Excellent airport shuttle. Excellent advice on activities and shopping

Cons: All good

Cons: No airport transfer at night

Pros: Clean, classy, close to airport, free shuttle to and from airport.

Cons: I was disturbed when informed by hotel staff at the restaurant that if I paid a tip with my card the hotel would keep it rather than give it to the employees. This was verified by several employees. If you want to tip them you'll have to do it in cash.

Pros: Close to the airport and a free shuttle bus. We were able to get into our rooms early morning to freshen up and rest after the flight. Hotel arranged a taxi for us to go into the city.

Cons: Ideal for a stop over but too far out of Johannesburg if you want to spend more time there.

Cons: The dinner buffet was a little over priced in my opinion.

Pros: Quick ride to and from airport. Very convenient.

Pros: I chose it for the closeness to the airport. But I was very impressed with the service, friendliness of the staff and comfort of the room. They allowed for an early check-in and check-out. The service in the restaurant was excellent, as was the food

Cons: Nothing close by, like shops.

Pros: The rooms were nicely furnished and quiet. The dinner selection in the dining area was limited but tasty and very reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet was even better! Very convenient to the airport, but follow the signs in the terminal or ask at the information desk. If you walk outside, you'll be accosted by individuals offering to show you to the hotel elevator for a mere $100 ea. Needless to say, they didn't get that much from me.

Cons: My only complaint is that the only room service is contracted out to 3rd parties whom you contact directly, in spite of the fact that the guide to guest amenities in the room indicates the hotel will supply traditional room service; they don't.

Pros: Excellent breakfast.

Cons: Would be better if they offered dinner as well.

Pros: Free wifi. Delivery available from Nandos!

Pros: Prepare yourself to wake up sweating in the early hours of the mornings. Their system is designed to turn of the air conditioning several times while you're sleeping. The a/c doe snot come back on automatically. Not only does it not come back on automatically, but you cannot turn it back on immediately. You have to wait 10 to 15 minutes.

Cons: Air conditioning problems and long lines at check in.

Cons: The room has a kitchen sink. It would be nice to have a mini bar fridge and microwave added to that.

Pros: Perfect for a quick overnight between flights. The free airport shuttle is a winner. Staff were very friendly and the room was comfortable and clean. And to top it all - the price was right.

Pros: The rate. The shuttle bus. They had a room available on short notice.

Cons: Despite online booking, they did not have record of us at check in. The process took about 15 mins, to check in. Smell of smoke quite noticeable in the hallway of our room.

Pros: We liked it all the shuttle service was great. All round very professional, pleasant service under very difficult circumstances. Thank you

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Breakfast buffet was delicious.

Pros: Very close to the airport

Pros: It js clean and tidy

Pros: Service horrible

Cons: The hotel wouldn't refund money properly they still owe me for two days I did not stay there

Pros: Great overnight stay for long layover and was very impressed with the restaurant. Had an unexpectedly fantastic meal!

Pros: Very convenient to the airport, so great for a layover. The shuttle, which runs every half hour, was on time. The restaurant and food were good value.

Cons: The shower didn't have a door or curtain, and it was impossible to keep water from leaking out onto the floor. The room was small, which is okay for a quick layover stay, but can make things awkward if you have a lot of luggage.

Pros: Great breakfast

Cons: Small room, small bed, cold industrial design. No place was comfortable.

Pros: Service staff was friendly, knowlegable, and room was clean and quiet. Close to airport

Cons: nothing

Pros: The decor and style and cleanliness were great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The shuttle to the airport and proximity to the AirPort are great. Really enjoyed my dinner meal as well.

Cons: I had a little bit of trouble with the wifi (would not connect) but other than that I have no complaints!

Pros: The hotel was of a good standard close to the airport which is why we book our two night stay.

Cons: I didn’t like the care of service to customers in light of the SA government lockdown as they clearly knew when we arrived and booked in thst the hotel was due to close the following day. I didn’t spot that they had only taken payment for one night. They said the information was changing by the hour but they knew at 12 noon the previous day. We spoke to to guys who told me they were booked in for a further two nights. I advised them to check with the hotel manager.

Pros: Near Airport

Cons: On check-in the lady at the desk dismissed us telling us to wait in the restaurant she is busy with other customers. New customers came in and had to follow same procedure. She had no clue who came in first she helped whom ever she wanted to help. After waiting an hour I told a waiter to call a manager I would like to cancel my booking. Then I was helped swiftly by a very nice lady. BUT during the corona crisis they had more than 50 people sitting in the restaurant area waiting to be helped. Not organised at all during such a busy time

Pros: Due to the Corona virus the hotel was almost empty. The employees were very empathic, service oriented and cooperative though the short term future looks gloomy for every staff member. My compliments

Cons: ??

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Air conditioner temp. and fan speed were not adjustable. The room temp. never got to the 18 degrees indicated. The ability to increase the fan speed would have helped.

Pros: Beds were comfortable and room was clean Showers were big and spacious Airport shuttle was extremely convenient and placed ease on my mind for early transfer to first flight

Cons: Air con was outdated and had no remote

Cons: Too short to asseess

Pros: Excellent staff, every person I dealt with was friendly

Cons: I found the aircon a bit old and wasn’t sure how to work it with the controls hidden under a panel on the actual unit (no remote) and having to Figure out it needed to be switched on at the wall, which isn’t obvious as the curtains cover the wall socket.

Cons: One can not check out and subsequently have breakfast. And, of corse, when I got through with breakfast the check out line had a half dozen people in it and when I tried to check out earlier I was the only one in line. Will not stay at this property again.

Pros: A big hotel of international standard. Very close to the airport and there is a shuttle bus every 15 minutes free of charge. Dinner was excellent! I had a springbok filet that was delicious. The staff at the entrance of the hotel was extremly friendly and helping a lot.

Pros: The bar/restaurant was njce

Cons: They couldn't find my reservation so despite showing them a confirmation and proof of payment they made me wait in lounge for hours. They made no effort to call their booking partner to find it despite the fact that I had a flight in less than 8 hours and there were several people there. When I asked to speak to the manager she just came out and yelled at us. Lobby looked nice but the rooms were not. I'd stay away from this place. We only booked because of proximity to airport but seeing as how it took several hours to check in I can't even suggest location as a positive.

Pros: Proximity to airport

Cons: Window locks were broken. Bathroom was dirty - hair in shower, trash had not been taken out. Felt extremely unsafe. Would not recommend this place to anyone

Pros: Bridgette the trainee staff was extremely nice.

Cons: The toilettes in room 202 had an extremely bad odour and was in an old state

Pros: Room; breakfast; location

Cons: For the price we thought a porter service to and from the room (as was the case in all other Sth African and Kenyan hotels) would have been appropriate

Pros: Breakfast

Cons: Safe wasn't working

Pros: Plenty of food choices and entertainment

Cons: Getaroom.com screwed up the booking and there was no record of it with the Hotel. Mondior accommodated me though and were very helpful

Pros: The breakfast was great. Thoroughly enjoyed everything. The room was clean and bed and linen met my expectations

Pros: Staff at reception and driving the airport shuttle was friendly, helpful and amazing!

Cons: 1. Cold water for my shower in my room did not work 2. Aircon made a funny screaming noise every hour! 3. Had to queue for breakfast. When asked and complaining verbally was told there is a queue to be seated. Everyone was shown to seats outside the eating area to wait to be seated while I spotted open tables!! 4. Ignored the hostess ... went into the eating area and arranged my own table!!

Pros: Proximity to the airport was convenient for me, and the free shuttle essential.

Cons: The timeliness of the shuttle at arrival to airport could have been better. Waited over half an hour.

Pros: Everything was Good, bed was comfortable the room was in a very good condition...Thank you very much!

Cons: To be honest there's nothing I did not like, everything was perfect!

Pros: The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons: The hotel is very outdated and requires a substantial refurbishment. In my view it does not justify the price that we paid (R1 930,00 for one night, B&B). I have stayed in much better hotels for that price. For this reason, I would unfortunately not return to nor recommend this hotel.

Pros: Breakfast was good we enjoyed it

Pros: Nothing out of the ordinary to appreciate

Cons: Business centre not user friendly. Could not scan No courtesy drinking water in the room Limited free data Staff not polite. Kind of cut you off mid conversation and actually look disinterested No assistance either wih baggage. I had a sick child but had to labour with the luggage too

Pros: The location, service and shuttle.

Cons: There is no lunch buffet.

Pros: It was all good.

Cons: Unfortunately the guest lodge was in the flight path of airplanes, so it wasn't too quiet because of the plane noise.

Cons: Delightful staff, excellent service.

Pros: Nearby Airport, Free Shuttle is great! Billiard and garden with pool are great too!

Pros: The service free airport transfers

Cons: I have stayed here on several occasions all excellent with with a good restaurant onsight

Pros: This was an unplanned stay because of Coronavirus and the need to be near the Aiport,we ended up staying 4 nights In very difficult circumstances the staff were superb,particularly the kitchen staff,the food is always good,but even when food was scarce they managed to produce excellent meals with choices The room was superb value and was spacious,clean with everything we needed

Pros: I like the space of the room and the bed.

Cons: The was no Toiletries, They didn't clean our room everyday, The pool was not clean was dirty, The was no fridge in the room. They didn't change our beddings

Pros: Reception helped us order food in and made sure we got to the airport on time. We had a great little cabin with DSTV and a hot huge shower. Great overnight stay in Joberg

Pros: Close to the airport with a nice swimming pool and gardens for relaxing. The staff were very nice and the room was huge/comfortable.

Cons: Communication was difficult and resulted in a wait of over an hour at the airport for the free shuttle service. We were offered early checkin for free as a result but wasn't a great start.

Pros: The comfort and personalisation of the whole place did it for me. The rooms and bar/restaurant was well thought out and the decor is perfect. The staff were so very friendly as well - they made me feel so welcomed and safe. The kitchen staff served the most delicious food also. I went on two of the tours that were on offer and can honestly say they were just fantastic. The vicinity of the building is so beautiful and the pool is lush. I will definitely go back there on my next visit. 5 stars from me *****

Cons: N/A

Pros: The free shuttle service is really good and the location was excellent.

Cons: I felt that the packed breakfast could have been better and there was a problem with the shower. Who serves Frisco coffee to paying customers?

Pros: Close to the airport, convenient airport shuttles. Perfect and cost effective way to overnight stay at stopover. Nice planes spotting area.

Cons: Poor wifi coverage, no AC plug adapters in the room. A little bit noisy (due close to the airport).

Pros: The property was extremely safe and beautiful to walk around. Tilla, Henry and Ricardo were absolutely warm and provided us with a pleasant stay. They provided accurate information on how to get around JoBurg and were absolutely compassionate towards us, as it was my daughter and my first time in JoBurg. The rooms were also nice, clean and cozy. They also have a beautiful and statuesque grey Long-hair cat and a hen. We had an absolutely pleasant stay. Thank you Tilla and family!

Pros: Very close to airport. food was very reasonably priced.

Cons: we had to wait over an hour for the shuttle from the airport.

Pros: Shuttle was on time and drive was good from the airport to the guesthouse. Checkin was easy Service at reception and dinner was good

Cons: Directions to bus terminal was good but can be improved by stating " Terminal A Airport Departures International Side, Ground floor" A little map or youtube directed video wouldve been absolutely perfect. . TV remote did not work. . Shower was so small, I measured the shower door... It was the distance from my elbow to my finger , which is about 45cm. I had to squeeze and navigate my way in and out of shower, hampered by the fact that your feet is wet and you need to step down and out of the shower. One could easily slip. . Certain utensils at breakfast was worn and oldish and definately needed replacement. . A lounge coach area with TV waiting for flight to airport after 10am checkout wouldve been nice. For the older persons, sitting in the breakfast area's hardchair for 2 hours before leaving for my 1pm flight wouldve been nice. . Staff reading this may mot understand unless they actually physically experiencing what a patron experienced.

Pros: Staff were oustandingly amazing! We were stuck there due to the Covid-19 outbreak and they went beyond and above to accomodate us in the best possible way!

Cons: One of the fellow travellers were vegan, but got mostly vegetarian food. But he did not to inform the kitchen, after receiving only vegetarian food.

Pros: Location

Cons: Everything else

Pros: The bar area and food was decent.

Cons: The rooms, the noise.

Pros: I enjoyed it

Pros: Here you are direct in the heart of Johannesburg International Airport. It is nothing to make wrong, if you are staying in this comfortable and clean place. The crew and all the people are wonderful. It is a great experience for one night in the centre of Oliver Tambo Airport. You are a special guest if you can enjoy the warm hospitality of this hotel. It is only an overnight place for one transfer. But you are feeling the best hospitality of Africa, if you are here. Thank you for all !!! It is very easy to check all the shops and restaurants in the transit area of the airport. Not too many restaurants near by this hotel. it is a little bit difficult, to get a glas of beer, if you are staying in this hotel. South Africa. But you can find it. Thank you for all...

Cons: Nothing bad to say.

Cons: The information presented on the site is not true. There is no restaurant in the hotel. There is a restaurant at the airport, but this is not the same thing. There was no bottle of water. Central air conditioning does not work, there are no windows, so being in the room is very uncomfortable, especially after a shower, which is not separated from the room and has no ventilation. The declared WiFi is limited to 500 MB, which is also not mention on the site.

Pros: I was happy with the service generally, the rooms were as expected and I was able to sleep.

Cons: internet was a problem to use and should be looked at with urgency.

Pros: Comfortable

Cons: Poor internet, no fridge, dstance to room.

Pros: The Management and staff did their very best under very difficult trading circumstances, and to look after those guests unable to leave the property itself, or the country, owing to the 21 day lock down as a result of the CV 19 situation overseas and also within South Africa.

Cons: The shower hot water is fed from a central boiler which was unstable, even when serving just one shower..

Pros: We are actually still here and on lockdown. The staff have been absolutely marvellous everything they are doing for us. We cannot fault them and feel so lucky to be here at this traumatic time.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: We arrived late at night and had to leave early the next morning, both outside of their normal hours of operation for their shuttle, but they were kind enough to accommodate us and made sure we got from the airport to their place and back again the next morning in time for our flight. They gave us a great breakfast, despite the early hour. I would highly recommend them.

Pros: Nice and close to the airport without being in it! Lovely garden setting and fabulous breakfast.

Cons: The shuttle bus only runs every hour, so if you just miss it (like we did), you will have a bit of a wait. Despite following instructions about hot water we were not able to have a hot shower. The Wifi was very ordinary in the rooms although it worked well in the office and restaurant.

Pros: Environment

Cons: No hot shower
