I have stayed at the City Lodge O.R Tambo a number of time recently and enjoy the quiet, close hotel for an international layover. The hotel staff are good, the restaurant staff could be a bit more self motivated. I had to ask for things a few times. The rooms are nice and simple, what you would expect at such... More

Due to a mix up after arriving late from Amsterdam, we had no hotel to stay in on arrival. Made the short walk from arrivals in airport, and went to reception in desperation to check if they had a room. Washington at reception could not have been nicer and more friendly, within 10 minutes we were in a room. Great... More

If you're forced to sleep over between flights, the City Lodge at O R Tambo airport is extremely convenient. The hotel is relatively new so the rooms and everything else are modern in design, neat, clean and comfortable. They charge a premium over the other establishments nearby but, in my opinion, this is worth it in exchange for the simplicity... More

My review applies to the City Lodge off airport - about 10 minute drive. Not the one on the airport itself. Some reviews here are mixing up the two hotels. Any hotel with "City" or "Lodge" in its name ( the only exception being when safari is appended to the latter!) , makes me very suspicious. But on this occasion... More

Ideal for business trips. Situated very close to the airport and all main highways. Excellant breakfast. Rooms on the small side but very clean. All good staff. All rooms seem to be very well maintained. Ample car parking space. Good security.

It is a nice hotel and conveniently across the street from the airport if you need to rest because of a long layover, but the service is terrible no one smiles and if you have a question they act as if you are bothering them.

I was passing through enroute to Cape Town with a 7.5 hours lay over in Jo'burg. It was a midnight arrival and morning departure. I decided to stay here for the night instead of in the lounge. Truly convenient. No need to take a shuttle or a taxi. Just wheel your trolley to the lift and up you go straight... More

We went to see the Rodrigues concert at Carnival city which had no rooms available. This hotel is not too far away and quite reasonably priced. We used the "bid to stay" site to get cheaper weekend room rates. The rooms were quiet, comfortable and safe. The restaurant serves a good hearty buffet breakfast.

This s part of the City Lodge group, so the standards are normally very good. This one is about 5 to 10 minutes from Johannesburg International airport and there is a shuttle service available, with regular services. The hotel is not in the best area, but this should not prevent anyone from using this hotel. It is very clean and... More
