One would not expect to get good service at an airport hotel, especially if staying there simply because of connections. Well, we not only get good service but EXCELLENT service. The hotel is conveniently located across the street from the terminal. We stayed there twice during a recent safari to Africa and were extremely pleased with everything. Highly recommend staying...

Just 50 meters from the main arrivals hall, Joburg Intercontinental offers a splendid stay over when you have to be at O Tambo airport as a hub for connecting flights. Bit expensive, as compared to the other airport hotels around, but absolutely the most convenient one. Nice rooms, with Nespresso-sets in the room, quiet, and great (in room) dining. Also... More

Landed in JHB from Windhoek and stayed overnight at Intercontinental before our next flight. The convenient location made it a hassle free stop over. The rooms were wonderful and the service was great. Breakfast was great, nice variety and staff went out of their way to assist us. We are staying over there again on our return.
