Protea O Tambo hotel

[drron]

We stayed here overnight after our flight from SYD.Reviews on TA were OK and rate for a premium room was 1100 ZAR as against lowest available at the IC of just over 4000 ZAR.
Shuttle bus goes every half hour and of course we just missed one.Arrived just after a tour group so a little slow checking in.One complaint on the TA reviews was that they claim you were a no sow for a booking a month earlier.This happenned to the woman in front of me but fortunately not to us.They also want a 300 ZAR cash deposit on checkin which is refunded on checkout if no additional charges but less an 8.60Zar national tax which is a bit rough but only a dollar.

Room was clean,on the small size(but larger than a standard room) and quiet.A good sized bath and really good value for an overnight stay.We did not eat here though prices looked reasonable.So to some pics-

And is really close with this LH 380 just arriving at the gate next morning-

Nice grounds-

And interesting bar stools-

I was hppy with the value and would reccomend it for an overnight stay.

Thanks for the review - I need to book somewhere for a quick overnight pitstop for our trip in July/August, so it is handy to have some recent feedback.

A couple of other options are:Southern Sun O.R. Tambo International Airport.
Garden Court O.R.Tambo International Airport.

You can book on a local webiste for the best rates see... www.tsogosunhotels.com/pages/home.aspx

Both of these hotels have shuttle bus availability...the shuttles leave from a building located behind the IC

The Tsogo Sun and Protea are local hotel groups and both offer decent rooms at reasonable rates....I normally stay at the Southern Sun as it is very close to the airport and is pretty decent.

The IC, while a great location, is priced way over the top.
