It is in the airport, so it is very convenient for overnight stay between flights.
Very clean and good buffet breakfast. The staff is very helpful. Rooms are not very big, but efficient for a short stay
The staff here are of an excellent standard across the board, from check-in to wait staff and cleaning.
The breakfast and dinner buffets are some of the best you’ll see with excellent selection of meats, veg, etc.
Extremely helpful staff, restaurant did not rush us to get out of it when it was closing down. Didn’t fly in until late and they were extremely accommodating. Food was dynamite.
Overnighting in Joburg without having to leave the airport was a gamechanger! City Lodge was clean, convenient, and a great way to do it! I would highly recommend it!
I have stayed at City Lodge for years, enroute from a long overseas flight and onward the next day to Gaborone. The staff is always welcoming, the dinner is relaxing and good, and guidance regarding this or that is always reliable and helpful. And City Lodge's convenience to Tambo is just was I need.
Love it that it’s very close to the Airport, one doesn't need to take a ride there. The staff are brilliant and make sure they attend to guests needs, I will love to be there again and again
