Acceptable”
I asked for a room near elevator on booking weeks ago. They gave me one of the furtherst rooms in the hotel which is bad for my leg.
They also gave me a smoking room without asking so I could not sleep as the smell was terrible!

Pros: about 4-5 minutes from all the airport terminals, affordable, clean and good prices.
Cons: use a site booking.com or Agoda to make a reservation, to get your true savings instead of just walking in.

Very good place for short stay in between flights. The hotel is only 5 to 10 minutes walk (depending on your speed) away from the terminal. The walkway is airconditioned and you can push your airport trolley all the way to the hotel.

When I phoned to make a booking they told me it was fully booked.
Luckily the agent Agoda got me a booking.
Please watch out for staff who tells people it is fully booked when it is not the case. You might loose a lot of business through this attitude.

A smart choice”
I could've found a cheaper hotel in Johannesburg, but then I'd have needed to pay for a cab out to Oliver Tambo. Excellent to be able to walk to the check-in desk without having to wait for a shuttle or without having to try to forecast traffic jams. Also liked the fact that I could do last minute gift and snack shopping in the airport mall.
I didn't use the hotel restaurant (breakfast in the Mugg and Bean with a view in the Transit lounge instead). The one thing the room lacked was a fridge., but the reception desk girls put my stuff in the kitchen fridge.

Location is key, just a short walk from the arrivals hall. Room was small but clean and well equipped, nice large bathroom with a great shower. Also very quiet.
A few small maintenance issues need to be taken care of.

Great option for stay at the airport. Do not use the transit hotel (Protea) inside the airport. Do yourself a favour and use this Hotel as it is attached to the outside of the airport

We stayed here while travelling out of the country and both nights they gave us a smoking room when we had specifically asked for a non-smoking room. They weren't even prepared to change it, they just told us they were fully booked...not impressed at all

City Lodge is in walking distance from the airport (OR Johannesburg). It is better to do an online booking than at the reception as its cheaper online. Just one complaint - not enough people at reception to help with the book-in process, at times it is quite tedious. Other than that I am quite happy with the location, value for money, cleanliness, staff and the facilities.

Bad experience”
I indicated that I will be arriving between 11 to noon. And when I checked into the hotel at 11.30am I was given a room totally not cleaned up and in the very very very far corner of the hotel.. I called from that room to complain and I was told to go down to change the room bcz there was no one around to help me to give me another room and card. Or I can wait for 15 mins in that messy room for someone to bring the new room card to me. I was tired and without any choice, I went down thru the long long long passage way down to the reception to take my new room card. It was terribly disappointing. I will not stay in this hotel again!
