Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport by IHG
Room is very basic. Windows are very good to control noise, but the planes fligth over the hotel when landing - so you may hear the noise from time to time (not so many fligths). Restaurant is good (the option breakfeast + diner we took was excelent). Staff is amazing.
