Pros:

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

Pros:

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.

Pros:

My husband and I stayed here two nights during our recent trip to South Africa. City Lodge is a nice and convenient airport hotel. It is about a 5 minute walk from the terminal. No shuttle required. The hotel staff were friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. They even allowed us to check out one hour later than the posted time without an extra charge. We found the room to be clean and quiet and the bed comfortable. We ate at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner and the food and service were both good. I used the gym and although small and a little warm since it is open to the outside, it was clean and served it's purpose. Would highly recommend City Lodge for an airport stay and would book again.
