We recently spent the night at Protea Hotel by Marriott at O.R. Tambo and found this to be a good property just next to the airport. They have a nice lobby area, in house restaurant and bar and outdoor swimming pool. Staff service was very friendly, checked in on us a couple times during the stay.
The property also offers free shuttle service to/from the airport every 30 minutes throughout the day. You can find them at the Bus Terminal next to Intercontinental Hotel just outside of O.R. Tambo. There is an indoor waiting area and signs for the various bus companies and hotel shuttles with scheduled departure times. Easy to find and make avail from the airport.
Room was spacious and a good overall room. Bed was comfy, allowed for good rest prior to our early morning flight the day after our stay. TV, A/C-heater, lighting, safe, wifi all worked perfectly. Plenty of electrical outlets for charging as well. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant/bar area while watching Euro 2020 matches. Nice environs and surprisingly better food than expected of hotel restaurants.
Overall, this was a nice, relaxing stay at Protea by Marriott. Would gladly stay here again if requiring a room near O.R. Tambo in the future.

Comfort and excellent service!

Pleasantly surprised with this airport hotel! We had a suite on the 4th floor facing the airport. It was spacious, quiet and very clean! Reception was very helpful and receptive to our needs and the restaurant had a nice breakfast buffet. Beds were comfortable and amenities were good! I would recommend!
Would stay again.

Decent hotel, easy to find transfer, nice very friendly welcome. Spotless room, very good sleep, abundant very hot water adequate to fill a hot bath, although the rooms are pretty small. Very friendly staff, exuberant host manager who greeted us warmly. Good food although I thought the dinner buffet was a bit expensive. Breakfast buffet super generous and delicious. All in all this is a recommended stay for a transit stop. I’d say there are other better places if you are a regular tourist rather than just resting between flights.

Very comfortable room

Excellent quiet room with comfortable bed. I am glad that there is a curtain around the clear shower. The entire hotel is themed with airplanes and flying . The room refrigerator is in a trunk.
I did not give this hotel and excellent rating because they had canceled my reservation. I arrived at 4 AM and had noted that in my reservation. It took me an extra 10 to 15 minutes to check in because they had to reinstate me after flying 30 hours, I was exhausted and wanted to get to my room right away.
The airport shuttle service is fabulous and included
