Southern Sun O.R Tambo
The breakfast was excellent. Staff overall very helpful and friendly. Great location fir a one night stopover between flights. Free shuttle. On time and every 15 minutes. Unfortunately, place is very dated and in desperate need of an upgrade. I think Sol Kerzner would have been disappointed.
