A great hotel for one night, 5-10 minutes from the airport.
+ The main advantages are the free shuttles to and from the airport every hour.
+The inclusion of breakfast.
+ The hotel grounds are lovely, with plenty of seating in the courtyard.
+ There's also a restaurant where you can order lunch or dinner.
+ The room is basic, with tea and coffee available.
Cons:
– We didn't get our breakfast, even though we arrived at the appointed time. We waited 25 minutes for breakfast to be brought out for guests in other rooms who were traveling to the airport later than us. Ultimately, we were given packed lunches.
– We had a family room. Tthere's no door between the rooms, and the bathroom door is a folding door, which lets in all the noise and makes a lot of noise.
– The bed was sagging on one side.
– While taking a shower, the hot water went out for a couple of minutes, but then it came back on.
Wonderful hotel! It's super convenient that you don't have to leave the airport, and it's easy to find the hotel. The room is clean, perfect for an overnight stay. And I really liked the buffet restaurant; the food was delicious. I recommend it.
Seamless/Efficient Check without a lot of admin, very clean and well put together room unfortunately even though it was a special assistance room that was available when I booked (I just needed to rest, so I didn't mind it at all). I wish the bathroom had it it's own mop though for the shower regardless since water spills literally everywhere due to it having no shower glass (assuming for wheelchair accessibility), but it's not a good sight when the water droplets are on the entire bathroom floor without any proper cleaning equipment. Also, wasn't impressed by the wifi/TV's internet browser, one couldn't watch YouTube seamlessly because the tabs kept crashing every 3minutes, ended up switching off the TV and using my phone. Otherwise, it was a nice experience.
The staff was exceptionally friendly and very accommodating. The ladies and the gentleman absolutely hospitable.
The total stay was great . Could do with a revamp as the bathrooms are a bit old .which the exceptional service made up for.
Overall great stay
I recently stayed at this hotel which left me disappointed due to their shuttle service limitations. While the overall experience was average, the lack of a 24-hour shuttle service proved to be a significant inconvenience, particularly for early morning flights.
One of the key reasons I chose this hotel was because of its location and a shuttle service to the airport. However, upon checking in, I was informed that the shuttle operated only from 7 am onwards. This was highly inconvenient as my flight departure time was earlier. I approached the receptionist to inquire about alternative options, hoping for some flexibility or assistance, but was met with an unhelpful suggestion to order an Uber instead.
Having previously stayed at other hotels near airports, I had come to expect a 24-hour shuttle service as the norm. It was disappointing to find that this particular hotel did not offer the same level of convenience. Given the additional cost associated with using ride-hailing services like Uber, this unforeseen expense was an unwelcome surprise.
In conclusion, if you have early morning flights or rely on a reliable 24-hour shuttle service, I would caution against choosing this particular hotel. I would recommend exploring other nearby options that prioritize customer convenience and provide a more accommodating shuttle service.
Our stay here was nothing short of amazing!! It felt so safe and was super close to Mandela square and gautrain station
Also..the staff?? Super great people and very polite! We got a free upgrade to a luxury room upon checking in!! Also, the views from our room were breathtaking!!
We also loved that they were able to keep our bags when we checked out till we were ready to leave!
The breakfast had a variety and it was great too! Will definitely definitely be staying here everytime when we are in Sandton!! ..

FFaith4We stayed for a week. It was a decent stay. It’s apartment style you can cook your own meals in your room and also there’s a restaurant you can eat and chill at
ZZee MlabaReview for OR Tambo Guest House
I recently stayed at OR Tambo Guest House for three nights and had a great experience. Since my flight arrived very late at night, the staff kindly suggested a driver to pick me up, which was incredibly thoughtful and made my arrival stress-free.
The guest house was impeccably clean (5/5), and the service was excellent (5/5) – the staff was friendly, accommodating, and attentive throughout my stay. The location was convenient (4/5), being close to the airport, though not much else is within walking distance.
The amenities were decent (4/5), offering all the basics I needed for a comfortable stay. While the aesthetic wasn’t my favorite (3/5), it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Breakfast had limited options, but I wasn’t upset about it – it was enough to start the day.
Overall, it’s an affordable place to stay, offering great value for the price. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and convenient spot near OR Tambo Airport.
