If you are arriving in or leaving Johannesburg and need a hotel near the airport this is a great place. The location could not be more convenient with its close walking proximity to the airport. The hotel is basically connected to the airport and a short walk without leaving the airport is super convenient for catching your flight. The hotel staff was super helpful and friendly. The hotel seems a bit older but it is nice and clean. The rooms are decent size, clean, safe and have comfortable beds. The food in the restaurant is very good and affordable with friendly staff. The hotel price was very fair and not too expensive. This place is affordable even if you are on a budget. There are nicer, more luxurious and expensive options close as well if feel the need. City Lodge is a great place to stay starting or ending your South Africa adventures.
