City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport

8/10 Good
"I stayed here to wait out an overnight flight connection, and it was good for that purpose. Rooms were clean and satisfactory but not especially spacious. It was quiet. Had the breakfast buffet which was good, not included in the room rate. The hotel restaurant serves all day. I thought it was overpriced, but you are paying for convenience, as you do not have to go outside of the airport to access the hotel."
