Convenient Location and Airport Transfer, But Would Only Revisit If Necessary
It is strictly a basic functional hotel, and I would only stay here again if necessary. We needed proximity to the airport, and the frequent airport shuttle (every 30 minutes) was a plus. It turned out relatively okay both times we stayed, but we left as quickly as possible. The place is unattractive but clean, the beds and pillows are…

It is strictly a basic functional hotel, and I would only stay here again if necessary. We needed proximity to the airport, and the frequent airport shuttle (every 30 minutes) was a plus. It turned out relatively okay both times we stayed, but we left as quickly as possible. The place is unattractive but clean, the beds and pillows are comfortable, and the staff is very nice. The most significant issue we encountered is that the noise insulation is non-existent. We could hear everything happening in the hallway and in the adjacent rooms and woke up frequently. I recommend using earplugs.
The breakfast buffet is abundant, although we didn't find much to our liking, and the coffee was undrinkable to our taste.

Serviceable Hotel

This is a serviceable hotel for a one night stay when transiting through OR Tambo.
Pros: I was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant for dinner and breakfast. The room was clean.
Cons: Miscommunications between myself and the hotel left my family sharing a bed. I take partial responsibility for this, but still an unexpected thing to deal with after a 14-hour flight. The room needed a few minor repairs and was missing a deadbolt on the door.
Overall, the place was fine, but it would have been less of a hassle to stay at either of the hotels attached to the airport, hence only two stars. (Note, there is construction going on, but it did not affect our stay other than the pool was closed).

Typical Airport Hotel
Feb 22, 2024Trip48873888096Rayleigh, United Kingdom
This is a typical airport hotel suitable for a one night stay. The rooms were modern and clean , the food was adequate and the service was fast.
If the planes don't keep you awake , then the traffic on the motorway will.
But it did the job for an overnight stay at the airport
Has seriously gone down hill

This used to be our 'go to' hotel when passing through JNB, mainly due to its convenience and good standard of accommodation and service. Alas, things have taken a serious turn for the worse. Our experience got off to a bad start with confusion over the shuttle bus pick up location at the airport which delayed us by about an hour.
Once at the hotel we were shocked to see the ground floor was basically a large building site. Our room was OK but where was the safe that used to be in the wardrobe?
Dinner in the restaurant was pretty average as far as the food was concerned - lukewarm and tasteless 'linefish'. Trying to pay the bill was a huge frustration as we had purchased a 'dine and wine' package with our room rate on the Marriott website. The waiter had no clue how to process this and we had to get the manager and the front desk to sort this out. We had an early departure and wanted to have breakfast in our room. We were initially told this was not possible, and then that this must be ordered on the hotel's app - which stubbornly refused to work. Again the duty manager got involved and eventually knocked on our door to manually take our breakfast order on a notepad. Unfortunately this level of chaotic disorganisation really tarnished our view of this hotel and we'd need a lot of convincing to stay here again.

We hopped on the last shuttle at 11 pm and got to the hotel by 11.20. Check in was smooth and our room very pleasant. We had a great nights sleep and a super breakfast. The staff in the restaurant were really helpful and friendly. The shuttle back to the airport in the morning was a bit choatic, the driver didnt seem to know what or where he was off to - but none the less it was all fine.
