Premier Hotel OR Tambo
We just used the room for a few hours during a layover and it was comfortable and very convenient. Courtesy bus is a bit had to find as with most things in JNB the signage is atrocious! Would definitely use again

Clean room. Quiet. Asked if we would like a bag breakfast as we were leaving very early to airport. Changed our room because we had trouble on the web page finding what worked best. Polite staff. Timely shuttle-no waiting.
