Not a good nights sleep

Al was reasonably acceptable, except there was frequent loud banging, metallic sound day and worse throughout the night. Thought I could sleep through it, but was awakened frequently. Room 4115. I have previously stayed in the hotel in a room higher up and had no issues.

One night stay at City Lodge Hotel

This hotel has a walkway from Johannesberg airport. One does not need a shuttle. Turn left when you come out of the airport walk way. You can walk there on your own or there are plenty of airport porters that will be glad to walk you to the elevator to go up to the hotel check in desk. Yes they expect to be tipped. It was easy to check in and out at the desk. Rooms were comfy and the food at their restaurant was like a buffet and it was very tasty.

This is a convenient hotel for those who arrive at OR Tambo late at night. It's not a good value for money but it is convenient. Breakfast is extra. Staff treat guests ok - not as helpful or friendly as in other hotels in South Africa.

Exceptional Value and Comfort

Incredible price on a great location. Not as fancy )or expensive) as the nearby Intercontinental (we stayed in both) but a tremendous value. Room was very comfortable and service quite good. Restaurant food and breakfast buffet was better than the Intercontinental. Location is great.

Nice hotel right at airport

Very handy that this hotel is reached without having to leave the airport. The room is far from the desk but clean and comfortable. No hair dryer in sight yet.
