Best choice for layovers ”
We arrived in JNB at 9pm and had an onward flight at 10am the next day. The hotel is a 2 min walk from the main terminal. As soon as you walk out you will see it. Check in was quick. Room was very comfortable. We used the gym on the roof top in the morning which was well equipped and clean. Nice view of planes taking off. The hotel arranged for a porter to take our bags to the terminal the next day and check us in. Very friendly and warm. It is definitely more expensive than some of the other choices but well worth it.

Conveniently located”
Conveniently located across from the Arrival Hall. Just a short walk across to the hotel makes it super easy to get to. Quite expensive for an overnight stay though.

Checking in and out process can be improved ”
Overall, is good but the checking in and out process is too long due to less staff manning at the front desk.

Bad service ”
Found the room bedding to be dirty. A shower that had water pouring out from all sides. Sadly no one seem to care when you complain.

Top airport hotel”
Flight connections between Lusaka, Johannesburg and Perth in Western Australia necessitated an overnight stay at the Intercontinental, OR Tambo airport, Johannesburg. We could not have chosen a better hotel for our one night stopover. A big thank you to duty manager, Sharon, for storing our luggage after check out and then allowing us access to shower facilities so that we could freshen up before our late night flight to Australia. A few minor issues with our room which was in need of some refurbishment; eg peeling paint, a broken glass shelf, part of tap missing in the bathroom and rather noisy air conditioning. As this is an expensive hotel, these items should be attended to. Nevertheless, we were greatly impressed by the friendly and attentive staff and enjoyed the very high standard of breakfast in Quills restaurant. I would highly recommend this hotel to all travellers.

Intercontinental Johannesburg OR Tambo”
I only had an overnight in JoBurg, enroute to Windhoek. I did not want the hassle of the buses to other airports nor the long haul to try to find the "transit" hotels. The Intercontinental is perfect. Just get your bags, exit the building and walk to the hotel. Check in was easy. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Internet was complimentary. Room was clean and adequate. A bit small but nice. Excellent coffee and good facilities in room. Ice provided without asking. Overall, a very good stay.

Best airport hotel”
I travel a lot. For work and fun. Have stayed in a number of airport hotels. This hotel stands out as the best airport hotel I have ever stayed in. Location is perfect. Seconds from terminal exit. Rooms are a good size and wondefully set up. Pool deck is small (no laps) but works well for a refreshing dip. Food is world class. The in house Quills restaurant is a stand alone, top class restaurant. Finally, staff were attentive and eager to help in all areas.

Just 5 minutes walk to the check in desks”
The only reason one would stay at this hotel is for its superb access to the airport. Literally a 5 minute walk form both Arrivals and Departures to the hotel reception. At one time getting into the city centre from here was a traffic nightmare, but there is now a very good and safe train link which directly connects the airport and multiple locations in Joburg and Pretoria, and runs every 15 minutes. Service is excellent, friendly and efficient, and the facilities are all you might expect from this chain. A cheaper airport hotel option is the newly opened City Lodge, but you get what you pay for!

The best of the best”
This hotel is literally 1 minute from the international arrivals hall at JNB. The rooms are spectacular and the food is superb. It is pricey but very worth it if you want the best airport hotel experience.

Won't stay anywhere else!”
We arrived at 7am after a 13 hour flight and loved the fact we only had to walk out of arrivals and across the road into the hotel. We had asked for early check in if possible and were eternally grateful that they had our room ready. We needed that hot shower and lovely bed. We had one night on the way to Kruger and a night before heading back home at the end of our holiday. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel who were so professional and friendly, they really made the visit!! Staying at the hotel was one of the highlights of our trip. We enjoyed it so much we are coming back at the end of the year and making a stay here part of our relaxing holiday!

The hotel was great and location perfect, the only downside was that our late check-out was very expensive, but it was much better than sitting in the airport for five hours.

Perfect location for the airport”
We only stayed here one night as a stopover before flying home. However, would highly recommend anyway.. The hotel was in excellent condition and our room was spacious. Had dinner in the Quill Grill which was superb.mbuffet breakfast was also excellent and main course cooked fresh and came hot. Heated indoor pool is only 10m, but was Ok for some early morning exercise. Also 24 hour gym and spa which we did nt have time to try. Very short, but enjoyable stay.

Perfect location to ORTIA when waiting for flights”
Lovely room, good amenities, lovely bathroom, good proximity to the airport for arrival and departure, good proximity to the airport restaurants, ability to store luggage prior to my check in. I waited on the terrace for drinks/food service and after 20 minutes of absolutely no one coming to ask what I wanted, I decided to walk over to the airport and had a lovely meal served by an attentive waiter. I spoke to the main desk about the lack of waiter attention on the terrace and they apologized.
