The worst experience ever. The access to hotel was closed yesterday evening when we arrived tired from our flight from Europe. We had to book another hotel on site. We couldn't get in that Protea. With the most arrogant feedback I ever got, they are now telling us that it was OUR no show. They are located inside OR Tambo Airport in Johannesburg. Their Security denied us access yesterday evening. A place to be avoided be it for its situation but mostly for the unkindness and arrogance of its Management

Obviously location is useful as it is a transit hotel within OR Tambo Airport Jo-Burg. It is barely sign-posted and if you're approaching from the Domestic Terminal you'll struggle to find the hotel, let alone check in. It works ok if you come into the International Terminal and go through International Transfers. I had to phone twice and describe where I was for someone to fetch me. No food available at all in the hotel and shower didn't drain. Nice reception staff though.

MY EXPERIENCE IN PROTEA OR TAMBO
I was very tired and the room was so far by walking-- Also , There is no restaurant inside the hotel , so i spent the an hungry night... somr times when we're tired we can't walk after installing to the room and go down to the near restaurant in the airport. It gonna be better to provide one minimal restautant inside the hotel. Over this, we always like to stay in protea chain hotels...This idea to have one in transit area is one the best idea ever...

No Show because of elusive reception desk
To be honest we can't rate this Hotel as we did not stay at this Hotel because we did not find sing in the transit area to guide us to reception.We collected our luggage and moved through to transit and before we knew it we were out of transit and in the general public area with no way of returning to transit area. We ended booking a night at an adjacent Protea/ Marriot Hotel at our cost. I would suggest some additional signage is installed in the luggage collection area to guide guests to the reception

This is transit hotel. U can access it only after checkin. I do not understand why hotels.com failed to state it clearly. The hotel is one night stay for a reason. No food bad air condition disgrace to the good name of Marriot hotels.

cannot fairly rate if I was not even allowed in
The fact the I could not enter was not properly communicated. Consequently I have been left stranded without access to a hotel I have booked and paid. I was told in the morning I can arrange for a refund but upon phoning I was told nothing can be done about it. I do want my full refund though and better care should be taken to inform users that the hotel will be inaccessible. With that said... even though I did have a layover, it was local flight, then international, therefor I never even had the option of entering. Not right

Very convenient for transit. There is a airline checkin counter almost right next to it. Basically you get off your first flight, show your passport to airport staff once, go to the hotel. For your next flight you can walk one minute to get boarding pass if needed. Then one security check- short line bc this is all inside international transfer. You can decide to check your bag there too. Very convenient. Well worth the money. 150usd is not cheap but not outrageous especially given marriot quality.

Avoid if possible.
The hotel has no food service. The advertised "free wifi" is free for about 15 minutes. Then you have to pay or argue with the staff to convince them to give you a new voucher, and that will last only another 15 to 20 minutes. The curtains cover windows that show only a wall about a meter away. Never even think of using this hotel if you plan to leave the international travel area of Tambo for any reason. This should be made clear in their advertising and website, but isn't.
