The room was nice and beds good but unfortunately the dinner was discusting. I took the special South African dish and the beef was not fresh, the sausage not fully cooked, the chicken a little smelly. I should have returned the whole meal but the vegetables and fries were okay and we were tired.

Very convenient and friendly hotel. Only complaints was trying to work out how to get the the tv channels and air conditioning was a bit of hassle and would have appreciated Some basic operation instructions. Also the shower was poorly located too close to the shower entrance when it could have been put towards the back of the shower, and when you shower it sprays water all over the bathroom floor. Moving the flannel rail and putting a door on the shower would fix the issue.

This is a very nice hotel, good breakfast and comfortable rooms. But we tried to book again at the last minute, unfortunately they told us they were booked out but offered their sister hotel . Unfortunately you need to get a taxi there but the breakfast was amazing. The amenities were just as good as the city lodge OR Tambo. It’s cheap and better….try City Lodge Hotel Johannesburg

My husband and I always stay at a city lodge because we know what to expect and it’s comfortable. This time I was really needing assistance with the bage and was not able to reach anyone from the front desk. Other than that it was a great stay

If you are transiting through the Johannesburg Airport this is is a great option. It was directly across the street from the terminal - attached to the parking garage area. We didnt have to leave the airport although you do have to go out of security. The staff was very helpful, rooms nice and clean, restaurant has good food,

We have stayed at the City Lodge for 1 night. It’s clean and most staff are generally friendly. It’s easy to get to from the airport. You can walk to it if you’re reasonable fit. We also stayed at the sister City Lodge which cost less. It has a better breakfast and the staff are very friendly. You have to catch a cab there. My first choice would be the sister City Lodge 3km away
