Great access from airport. Pleasant staff. Quick check in. Basic everything. Clean but that’s about it. Dated & worn no frills. Bare basics. Coffee in room a plus. Welcoming staff was a plus but otherwise it’s an overnight crash pad, you would not want to spend any time here.

Very convenient and safe location for someone coming from outside South Africa. Unfortunately, Jo’burg has a bad reputation outside South Africa and City Lodge felt the natural choice for my stop over. I would recommend City Lodge to anyone flying into OR Tambo should they wish to stop in SA. Good service all round, excellent staff, good food, brilliant WIFI. Could do with upgrading the gym equipment.
