Perfect place to stay for an overnight stay at OR Tambo (or 2 nights as we did)

Protea hotel is a must when you have to stay at the OR Tambo airport overnight! The room was good, the breakfast perfect! The pool area is nice so all perfect for an overnight stay.

Awful
Cons:

• Closer to a 1 star hotel - old damasged furniture
• Floor incredibly dirty and rest of room not much better either
• Paper thin walls - we could hear people talk in the next room clearly
• Terrible old spring masttresses that sink in
• They have a free shuttle but it’s a 10 min drive from the airport and there is nothing around the hotel
• Grossly overpriced
