Wonderful team and a great breakfast! I really appreciated the free shuttle and the chance to rest between a long flight and the next leg of travel — it made all the difference. Thank you!

Stayed two separate nights, twice in 10 days at the Holiday Inn; as I arrived and after a week upcountry. Excellent shuttle from the airport (though a description of how to find it would be useful, half past the hour from the airport/on the hour to the airport). Staff were happy, polite, engaging and very helpful. My room was clean, easily acessible both via stairs and lift. Every basic amenity provided. Plentiful hot water in both bath and shower. Extra blankets in the chair was a nice touch. Room service was swift and delicious, though no price list included for drinks (minor detail!). I had breakfast included: a massive choice available, catering for all tastes. My favourite was the smiley faces on the boiled eggs! I did not use the swimming pool or any other facilities, but they all looked well managed. I would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the utterly charming team at the IHG Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport hotel. 11/10!!

From the time we were picked up in the van at the airport, the customer service was absolutely off the charts! We had first stayed in a different chain/hotel so our expectations were low based on that experience. Let’s just say from having cold water and wi-fi in the van- all the way to the breakfast buffet bringing a hot latte- nothing could have been done better. South Africa is not particularly safe (according to the residents) but they were even willing to walk with us to the bank around the corner to take out money from the ATM! Phenomenal! We will stay again if ever our travels take us to SA!
