Was given wrong room initially which did get fixed. No phone in room. Waited an hour for our dinner in the hotel restaurant where there were inly a few guests. We entered from inside the airport so I cannot comment on the grounds

We arrived at the hotel after travelling for 30hours. We were tired and all we wanted was to take a shower and sleep. Upon arrival we were told that there was a water outage but the maintanance staff will sort it out shortly. The next morning there was still no water. The truth was that the whole OR Tambo complex had no water. Please don't lie to your guests and at least offer some credit or compensation.
