City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport
Chose this hotel based on it’s location at Oliver Tambo airport and the price. Hotel was well signposted, easy to find and a short walk from the main terminal. Room was clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and price was very reasonable. All in all a good stay.
