This was a great hotel that provided comfort and security to a single traveller. Located within walking distance of two large shopping centers and cinema, this is a great location to stay if you love city life, but want safety and convenience.

Went safariing twice a day. Saw cheetahs, lions, elephants, zebra, and multiple others. If you want to just relax, there is a beautiful pool, pool tables and spa. Food is wonderful! People on the safaris were from 30 to 80, so anyone can do it!

I have stayed in this hotel on several occasions in recent years. Room good, breakfast excellent, staff very good. One exception, when I asked at reception if it would be possible to have an early morning check in on my next trip, my flight will arrive at 5.30am, he replied in a very off hand manner and said it would depend if they had any spare rooms and that I could not book a room for any earlier than normal check in. The fact that there were long waits for the lifts was disappointing, they are being replaced and only one out of 3 were working and this got stuck twice during our visit leading to waits of 15 minutes. Not everyone is capable of using stairs especially if on a higher floor. If not fixed by my next visit I will seek alternative accommodation.

The hotel could only be more convenient by having the location of the Intercontinental, but I was willing to walk a bit farther to avoid paying the Intercon's prices. The City Lodge is located outside of customs above one of the parking garages. I wasn't sure how to find it, but I asked an airport employee in the baggage claim area, and she walked me all the way to the hotel. The hotel staff were similarly attentive and helpful. Checkin was simple, and the room was clean and well appointed. I had adequate Internet to contact my family and had soon taken a shower and gone to bed. The room was quiet, without the noise I might have expected at an airport hotel. The view was nothing special -- looking into a little atrium -- but it wasn't bad, either. Breakfast was complete -- I can't think of a breakfast food that was not offered, although I guess Supertramp might be disappointed: I don't remember seeing kippers. The dining room is nicely decorated and quiet, and I very much enjoyed an unrushed start to the day. I don't know when I'll be transiting Jo-burg again, but if I do I won't hesitate to stay at the City Lodge OR Tambo again.

Desk in my first room was broken. Staff kindly switched me to a new room but the temperature was FREEZING! Turns out that guest have NO control of room thermostats - guess they are for show only. Staff informed me that temperatures are controlled centrally by the airport. Know that these are small rooms designed for travelers in transit, but the shower stall was right next to the bed!!! Certainly no privacy if you are traveling with a second person/child.

Fantastic breakfast! We needed driving instructions, and three staff helped us find our way, including an offer for the shuttle driver to lead us to where we needed to go!

Just stayed one night after a long flight and before catching another. Picked the hotel as it was close to the airport and provided a shuttle service. Drinks, snacks, and meals can be purchased within the Emperor Palace complex.

Special y nice environment is more excellent in Joburgo

This is a great hotel for an overnight between flights. An easy walk to/from the airport. Great restaurant and pool. Comfortable bed and the room was very quiet despite being next to the airport. Concierge arranged a half day private tour of Soweto for us, which was terrific. This is a quality hotel with friendly staff.
