I stayed for one night at the Southern Sun O.R. Tambo after arriving at the Airport. Very conveniently located and well appointed. I arrived around ten in the evening and I did have difficulty getting room service. Also the check in was a little slow. However, the staff were friendly and helpful and when I had a meal in the... more

The room was nothing extraordinary for the price we paid. It was simple and clean. Since we landed in Joberg at midnight, this served the purpose. The Southern Sun shuttle to hotel departs every 15minutes from the airport. We however spent 20 minutes trying to locate where the pick up point was- thanks to OR Tambo intl airport construction/renovation. The... more

We stayed here for one night waiting for an early morning flight to Botswana. It's difficult to know where to catch the free shuttle to the hotel (a 5 minute ride) because of all the building work around the airport and ack of signs. This means you get met by self appointed guides wanting to psh your trolley and help... more

Arrived late afternoon - check in swift and professional. The hotel room was really nice. large size and had been recently refurbished - including the bathroom which featured a large... more

My Husband and I were robbed at the Southern Sun O.R. Tambo International Hotel and within five hours after check-in . We arrived late in the evening ordered room service and believe the person that entered our room stole the money as we placed the tray. She was the only that entered and we never left our room until we... more

We actually stayed at this hotel twice during our 7 week trip of October-November, 2007. We were impressed both times. The hotel is what an airport hotel should be, close by, efficient, has comfortable rooms with good beds for a good night's sleep plus has good restaurant and bar options. Each one night visit we had a room with two... more

This is my second stay at this hotel and my stay was just fantastic. The staff were exceptionally friendly and obviously knew that I had stayed previously and welcomed me back like it was yesterday. I had the pleasure of staying for 3 nights this time as I had numerous meetings I was attending in the area. Had breakfast and... more

In my previous review of this hotel, I failed to mention the absolutely lovely landscaping. It's beautiful all around, but on one side of the hotel, opposite the car park, there is an exquisite little garden where you can sit and hardly know that you are in the city, or next to the airport. A very peaceful retreat amidst the... more

I travel quite extensively and was pleasantly surprised to find a hotel of this standard in such close proximity to the airport. I didn't need to catch a cab to find a hotel I am accustomed to normally found far away from the airport - I simply used the hotel shuttle. The staff were very friendly and most helpful and... more
