The hotel has a great environment and is very close to the airport. They offer a shuttle service to the airport every half hour, which is super convenient. The staff's attitude was also pretty good.
The hotel smelled so good right from the entrance. The staff were very professional, kind and helpful. The shuttle driver David was extremely kind. He walked me to Nelson Mandela square and showed me also how to get back to the pick up area. He addressed me as “madam”.
The check in was easy peasey. The young lady at check in was so helpful and kind.
The concierge was beyond helpful too. The young man I forgot his name was so welcoming. Showed me how the elevator works.
The restaurant staff especially the guys in the kitchen who cooked my eggs were very understanding and kind. Everyone I met at the hotel left a lasting impression on me. I do not forget the maids too. Thank you so much staff. I WILL be back!

It's the first time I've been here. The breakfast is OK, but the room is small and the view outside the first floor window is poor. The price/performance ratio is pretty decent. You can order takeout via Uber.
It was our first time in joburg and it was lovely. The hotel was always clean. The food was great. Aside the breakfast which had a lot of variety, we also got to try some local dishes recommended by staff at the restaurant. The room was small but it was sufficient, as we were mostly busy sightseeing.
The hotel is definitely worth the price. Its a 15 min drive from the airport and theres a shopping centre within walking distance. The rooms are spacious and comfy. The Mangwanani spa offers great services. All restaurants serve the most delicious dishes throughout the day. Theres also a rooftop bar with live performances on certain days. Ill surely return again.
Efficient check in services. Friendly staff who were eager to help. Convenient location. This is my repeat stay at the hotel and i would not hesitate to recommend the same to friends and family.
Great Location and Convenient Shuttle Service
I recently stayed at the Southern Sun O.R. Tambo International Airport Hotel and found it to be very convenient. The location is ideal, being so close to the airport, which made catching my flight stress-free. They offer a complimentary shuttle bus service every 15 minutes from the airport’s Bus Terminal to the hotel, which was incredibly convenient.
The room itself was acceptable, the bed was particularly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Overall, a good option for travelers looking for comfort and ease near the airport.
Hotel is a bit dated but room is ok and comfortable. Room is a bit small considering it is in the suburb but overall maintaining the good Holiday Inn standards. Location is good as there are supermarkets, malls and food outlets within 5 min drive.
It’s conveniently close to Sandton City Mall, which made shopping and getting around very easy. The room was also clean and well-maintained, with housekeeping coming in daily, which I appreciated.
However, I did experience an ongoing issue with the room key card. Every time I returned to my room, the card wouldn’t open the door. This happened multiple times during my stay, and it became quite frustrating, especially when I had shopping bags or luggage with me. I had to carry everything downstairs to the reception to report the issue, only to be told someone would come assist. I’d then have to go back upstairs and wait, sometimes for quite a while. Occasionally, one of the cleaning staff was kind enough to open the door for me, which helped, but the inconsistency and inconvenience definitely affected my overall experience.
Very Good

SStephensAn amazing, beautiful, and serene retreat, just a short drive from Johannesburg Airport. Perfect for relaxation and convenience. The hotel provides airport shuttle at no extra charge.
GGuest UserI've never been at a better hotel my whole life.
Trust me, the hotel is such a ”Wow!”
I will definitely go there for my honeymoon, from Zambia!
The location is superb, so close to the airport.
Shuttle from the airport and to the airport is free!
RReese’sThis was an interesting experience because as we arrived, we had police vans parked in the parking. Of course there’s any visitors seeing this. It causes alarm because you are not quite sure why they come there. The room was very big and everything was clean, but the noise was almost unbearable. All hours there were people coming in and out so if you want to relaxing vacation, this is not the place. And unless we had a room that was not located in the right area, I’m not sure. The restaurant on the hotel premises was good and the food was tasty and there were many options with lovely music and the vibe was great. There was also a swimming pool that we did not use because we went in winter but it looked pretty good. There were no slippers and robes for us to use, which did not add that luxury experience. Someone had allowed us to use their Netflix for several days before it got cut off and we were not sure how to watch TV at all in the room was not really that fun. Fortunately we had sent in close by and many other things to do and we had hired a car (the Avis is very close by which is wonderful and convenient) so we spent our time wandering around which was also wonderful. Overall, I would give this a 3 star out of 5.
GGuest UserEverything was Good. Pick up from the airport in a free shuttle every 30 minutes. Very helpful and friendly staff. Room small but neat, Good for just 1 night. For longer I would have choosen a larger room with a fridge. Nice facilities on the premises for eating out and shopping. Interesting exhibition on the history of democracy in SA.
CCarter07Located along Katherine St, really beautiful with delicious breakfast and dinner. The rooms are exceptionally clean, although a little bit small( we had so many bags). Mimi from the reception was really helpful and kind. Her services was top notch. Would definitely recommend this

GGuest UserIt's giving more 3 than 4 stars? Customer service poor.
Holiday Inn was full so this was a close alternative.
Had amenities but their outlets were in the kitchen far from the bed? Not very business traveller or relaxing traveller friendly.
I booked a queen studio which had a kitchenette which was great for warming food etc. Decor a bit tired so could do with some love. But apart from a very dirty bottle left on the balcony it was clean.
Location is excellent for Rosebank Mall even if you have to play chicken to cross the road 😆
Customer service was severely lacking. I thought Radisson Red staff were slow but at least they were always there. You can't call frontdesk . It's all QR codes and WhatsApp. Late check out would be the cost of another night R1980. Staff had a, I dunno attitude and werent very helpful. 1 security guard and 1 young lady in the lounge are the only exceptions. Outlets in the lounge and office were local only and I had to really ask to get where I could buy adapters / converters.
Next time I'll go elsewhere. They're not customer focused enough for me.
