The staff in both the hotel and restaurant were great. But the lack of privacy while taking a shower is a poor design choice. Why add a solid glass window from the room to bathroom. When the bathroom light is on you have no privacy. Keep the wall solid. Other than that it is an enjoyable place too. Transportation to and from the airport is great.

The check in process was very poor. Staff very slow and not attentive. There was a large convention and they simply couldn’t cope with it. Took a long time to check in. The line up was very long. The hotel is very convenient for the airport. Completely messed up my evening dinner.

Southern Sun O.R. Tambo is a good place to stay overnight while waiting for flights. The shuttle bus service is excellent and easy to access, while the hotel itself is in good condition. The staff are all friendly and welcoming and they were happy to offer a late check-out and luggage storage service.

Staff members have been wonderful. Property is a bit older but has been refreshed and is clean and very nice. It has been a great “stop-over” while on our travels. My only complaint is that the a/c unit was very noisy. Otherwise a good value and good overall experience

Hotel that has the looks but it is a fake

How can you enjoy your stay at an hotel that looks like a million dollars but the lady at reception treats you like dirt. And when you get to your room which looks excellent you find there is no hot water not even luke warm, icy cold in the middle of winter
