Great choice for airport stay.
Large room, comfortable bed, good lighting. Evening buffet is excellent as is breakfast. Nice little outdoor pool. Hotel has a nice ambience. In places a little tired and dated, especially the bathroom. Was good value, and proximity to airport and free shuttle make it an excellent choice.

The excellent breakfast and friendly staff were worth the booking, but the rooms require some serious maintenance/ upgrading. From the carpets to the bathroom walls, simple things like paint and getting rid of mould would go a long way.

Great Stay
My flight arrived late. A porter from the airport walked me to the shuttle bus for the hotel. A short ride and I was greeted at the front desk. Quick check in to a clean comfortable room. Good wifi. It was very quiet and I got a good nights sleep.The morning breakfast was amazing. The selection of fruit, cereal, pastries, hot selections and great coffee was a great start to the day. Staff members are friendly and helpful.

We stayed in room 161 and it is a bit tired - in need of refurbishment to bring it up to current standards and expectations for a quality hotel room. I have stayed in hotel rooms on the other side of the Southern Sun hotel many times and the rooms on that side have always been more up to date and in better condition than room 161.

Pleasant stay close to OR Tambo
Rooms are a little old and very dated. But the staff were excellent. There was a tax that was not included when we booked through Hotels.com (even though they said it was). We paid on arrival - the receptionist was very apologetic but it wasn’t much (

Ideal for travellers
Convenient, comfortable stay at Sun International OR Tambo! Excellent service, superb breakfasts and effortless airport access. The rooms are a bit tired but the bed linen was fresh and crisp. One would expect more in room amenities at a 4* hotel; there wasn’t even a fridge. Fortunately Thomas the friendly concierge/guest services agent made a plan to refrigerate my father’s insulin and duty free cheese. *Option 2: Detailed Review* "4.5/5 stars! Exceptional Stay at Sun International OR Tambo! Pros: - Stylish, soundproof rooms - Friendly, efficient staff - Luxurious spa and gym - Convenient airport shuttle - Excellent dining options Cons: Minor delays in check-in. Perfect for transit passengers or business travelers seeking comfort and convenience."
