A strategically situated homely hotel right next to the airport. All of the bells and whistles with a restaurant and variety of food to die for! Exceptional caring staff who get to know their guests. Ambience and warm cosy rooms with character. One is treated and made to feel like a celebrity. Highly recommended from a regular, happy and very... More

The hotel is located very close to the airport - not even a five min drive. The bus stop for the shuttle bus to the hotel is located behind the intercontinental hotel - if you are arriving in the international arrivals area, walk out of the terminal, walk through a path to the left of the intercontinental hotel facing you,...

This was a good hotel, clean, and with sound proof windows-important so close to the airport. The shower was a bit odd; i awakened early to take a shower and only a frosted glass separates it from the bedroom. The light and noise woke my husband up as well. Check in was prompt, courteous and helpful. The room was large... More

Recently stayed at the Southern Sun at the Jo'burg airport for the third time and each stay has been terrific. The rooms are good, with well insulated windows, flat screen tv, tea kettle and very comfortable beds. A happy hour with complimentary wine and starters are on offer and the location is ideal for spending the night before continuing your... More

Have always enjoyed my stay and will always want to come back at least for now, the people are nice and you get service with a smile. The proximity to the Airport is really good. The airport shuttle is great. They are well organised as I see, I would for now remain here unless dissatisfied with any of their services.... More

The concierge and reception staff were rude and unhelpful. The room smelt of smoke and the bedroom door was damaged. I would not recommend this hotel - there are plenty of others to choose from that are also close to OR Tambo.
