Top hotels in Johannesburg CBD
The Parktonian All Suite Hotel
Hotel is in a good location. Pool was out of action for the 11 nights in which I stayed. Food menu was limited and average. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were large. The hotel is old and it shows. The hotel is good value for money. Shame about the pool being out of action. Wifi is good.

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport
The hotel is perfectly acceptable with spacious rooms, but the decor is of the most ordinary kind. The corridors were straight out of The Shining – quite alarmingly long and alienating.

Southern Sun O.R Tambo
Good bed and breakfast. Also very convenient because of close proximity to the airport.
