It's a convenient hotel if you want to be close to the airport and their shuttle run every 1 hour from the airport instead of every 30 mins. However, the hotel was pretty average.

Staff service at breakfast and check in was amazing. The breakfast selection was also outstanding. We unfortunately had a few problems with the room. The room was not as clean as expected (there was a lot of mould in the corner of the room on the roof and there was hair on the beds). On our last day there was no water and I believe there were no water works/disruptions reported that day? The hotel is in a very convenient location for the airport and for shopping but it could be sign posted better on the main road as we found it difficult to find at first.

The property was lovely. They have a little bar where the prices were very reasonable. The staff was helpful when we had questions and were friendly. The only “complaints” we had were that our sink in our room was blocked up and drained suupppeeerrr slowly, and the air conditioner didn’t work well. When we turned it on high it started to drip a lot of water and wet our luggage. Overall though we were fairly happy with the hotel for the price, and it was nice that they included airport shuttle!

The hotel is very close to the airport and offers a shuttle service. The breakfast is fantastic, and the service is generally good, although at dinner with only one waiter, the wait was agonizing. The hotel is already showing signs of deterioration, and although they are trying to paint the walls, it needs renovation (the hall smelled strongly of paint). The TV was very old and not a smart TV, so there was no option to connect my cell phone.

The holiday is showing its age. The tiles in the bathroom were cracked and the toilet tank is slow to fill up. Good shower. The family rooms are too small for a family of 4. The TV is small and the pillows were uncomfortable. The food was not great. We requested housekeeping and they never showed up. Will not return nor recommend. Convenient distance to East Rand mall and McDonalds close by.

Stayed two separate nights, twice in 10 days at the Holiday Inn; as I arrived and after a week upcountry. Excellent shuttle from the airport (though a description of how to find it would be useful, half past the hour from the airport/on the hour to the airport). Staff were happy, polite, engaging and very helpful. My room was clean, easily acessible both via stairs and lift. Every basic amenity provided. Plentiful hot water in both bath and shower. Extra blankets in the chair was a nice touch. Room service was swift and delicious, though no price list included for drinks (minor detail!). I had breakfast included: a massive choice available, catering for all tastes. My favourite was the smiley faces on the boiled eggs! I did not use the swimming pool or any other facilities, but they all looked well managed. I would definitely stay here again. Many thanks to the utterly charming team at the IHG Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport hotel. 11/10!!

The breakfast is worth the price. It was a full hot buffet. Very nice. This is a great option for families, as they have rooms with 2 double beds. This is where our family stays for overnight layovers at JNB.

I stayed at this hotel two nights, separate reservations. First room was downstairs and appeared either newer or remodeled with a comfortable bed. Second room was on third flood and was more dated with less comfortable bed. The restaurant was very good, from their breakfast buffet (wide range of hot and cold items), dinner buffet to ordering dinner off the menu. Price was also a good value for the cost of the room and the cost of the meals. I would stay here again.

The place looks like it has had a makeover but there are imperfections here and there (e.g. poor grouting, sealant in bathroom). There's a good choice at the buffet breakfast, albeit more attenton to replenishing items which have been consumed by other guests more speedily would be a small improvement.
