Detailed Reviews
As a family of 4 with 2 toddlers arriving off 18 hours of travel our requirements were a clean, convenient airport hotel to rest up before a 5 hour drive to our destination. We were happy to find out at the airport that there was an airport shuttle service every half hour which we hadn’t confirmed ahead of time, so was a bonus to not have to get a taxi with our masses of luggage. A short drive from OR Tambo, we were checked in efficiently with a friendly receptionist. On entering our room we saw the travel cot we requested was not there but upon pointing this out it was provided with no hassle with no delay. Decent bathroom / shower facilities allowed us freshen up after a long day of travel. 2 comfortable double beds, space for a massive amount of luggage and a travel cot were all comfortably accommodated. Breakfast was served until late so we could lie in, air con in the room made our sleep comfortable. Plenty of choice at breakfast, extended check out time accommodated with no hassle, excellent porter service to bring our baggage down from the room. We didn’t use it but a nice pool area was available. Also an Irish pub (which we didn’t use but made this Irish girl feel like home wasn’t too far!) was adjoined to the hotel. Reception staff were accommodating and made the start of our visit in SA straight forward. Would recommend as a convenient place to rest your head on landing in Jo’burg before further travelling around SA.

The hotel runs a very efficient half hourly shuttle bus to and from the airport 24/7. The receptionists are happy and helpful. The restaurant provides a wide range of buffet style food and I found dinner and breakfast very good on all three days. Although older in its style the cleanliness was faultless. The rooms are of a good size and everything in my en-suite worked fine. There are two efficient lifts. The bar was sensibly priced and stayed open till late which was great after arriving at 23.00 following an 11 hour flight. Also when my case was mislaid in Europe the receptionist came to find me when it turned up at midnight the next day. That's efficient service.

We stayed here twice - once after flying into Johannesburg from Australia and then again after we had spent time in and around Kruger, before flying to Livingstone. This is a very clean, quiet, well-priced hotel with plenty of amenities, 5 minutes from OR Tambo International Airport. The buffet breakfast was one of the best we experienced in the 4 weeks we were travelling throughout Africa & Asia. There is the option of a buffet dinner (also good - with plenty of vegetarian options), a pub on site for other dining options, as well as in room dining. Our room had 2 Queen beds, an effective air conditioner, a safe and TV and there is a pool on site. The bathroom was very clean, and stocked with body lotion and shower gel. This hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport and these run every 20 mins or so. We had picked up a hire car at the airport and there was plenty of free, secured, on site parking. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to anyone who needs to stay close to the airport.

Value for money was never met compared to other hotels. Disappointing experience for a good location were guests in transit would prefer resting at a hotel near the airport. The hotel certainly needs to look at upgrading its services to meet value for money...

A nice hotel were to stay. Nice and clean rooms, good restaurant. It has a free shuttle from/to the airport and occasionally you can also ask to be dropped at the train station, so you can reach the main and old part of the city.

The hotel is well located close to the airport. It has a free shuttle to/from airport every 30 min, and eventually it can also drop you to the closest train station. The room was clean and quiet. The restaurant has nice food and great cakes.

The restaurant at the Garden Court OR TAMBO is the worst I've ever visited. On Friday night I ordered my food at 20:05 and had to go and ask for it at 22:15. It was eventually delivered at 22:25 - cold steak fillet and chips. The malva pudding came straight from the freezer.
On Saturday night the food arrived ¾ hour after I've placed the order, but again it was stone cold.
Suggestion:
They either abandon the room service completely and ask guests to fetch their food themselves, or they must hire at least 2 porters whose duty would only be to take food to guests rooms.
It seems like they wait until they have a number of dishes ready before they deliver. This is definitely not on.
The quality of the food (cold steak, chips and lamb chops) will make me look for an alternative place to eat when I'm next booked at this hotel

We arrived from New York and checked in very early. The room was ready and the bed was very comfortable. I mention the bed as I travel a lot and with my back, bed comfort is key. I woke up the first day at 4:30am and the front desk staffer was so helpful in getting me some hot rooibos tea. Breakfast was excellent with a wide variety of both hot and cold items a eggs cooked to order.
We will definitely stay here on our next visit to Joberg.

Lovely staff. Efficient airport shuttle. Ask for General if you need a taxi. Only suggestions: the breakfast buffet very user unfriendly. Tea in one corner of the huge room has no milk available at the station. Coffee station right across the room, same story. No butter next to the toast machine and the HP, tomato and other sauces are hidden by the coffee machine far from the hot dishes. Great choice of things to eat though!

I met friends here for the evening during their layover on their return overseas. Service in the bar/restaurant was very good and my meal was well made and tasty (had the hot chicken salad). The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast buffet was solid. Other than that I did not utilize the amenities available.
