Hotel is close to the airport (5 mins) and has a free shuttle. We had our booking agent call ahead and provide flight info and were assured that the shuttle would be waiting. However, we waited for 30 minutes before asking a porter to call - turns out the hotel hadn't sent a shuttle after all! I'd recommend calling the... More

This hotel is close to the airport so ideal for a stop over, but would not like to spend more than one night there. The room was clean but theres no door on the shower , the water leaks all over the hall floor. The hotel is in a area of factorys so one night is plenty.

Not big on frills but it has everything you need for a quick layover at a great price. Room was clean and comfortable. WiFi was a bit sketchy but free. Options at the onsite resturant were limited but the bar was nicely stocked. Nothing in the immediate area in terms of ammenities so i reccomend you pick something up at... More

If you are looking for a place near OR Tambo, Life could be the right choice. Really well refurnished rooms, styley pool, very good restaurant, great breakfast, free airport pick up, it's an excellent hotel. We hope that the brand Life will expand in Europe in the next years and will keep this style.

This is a good place for an overnight stay near OR Tambo Airport (JNB), as it is close to the airport and the hotel offers a free shuttle. It is reasonably quiet for its location. The decor is hip and modern, with an aeronautical theme. The rooms are spacious, clean, with very comfortable beds and nice linens. The hotel offers... More

This hotel is a good and affordable option for those looking to stay over by the airport. We stayed here the night we landed in Jo'burg before leaving for our safari next day and then again after our SA trip came to an end before catching our flight home next day. It's no frills but importantly the rooms were clean.... More

It will give you anything you need: a clean room and bed, a breakfast and free airport transfer. The restaurant is good too. But two things were disturbing: the staff was overcharged when there were three people trying to check in at the same time. Second: they will provide you with a Voucher for free WiFi use but WiFi will... More
