City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport
The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast is very good. Our only complaint would be that the walls are pretty thin because we could clearly understand what our neighbors in the next room were saying.

Spent 4 nights in the hotel, 3 issues faced for a 5star hotel, internet was weak, tv had no Netflix or amazon prime application, they refused to bring a microwave to my suite as well as refused to warm my meals unless it was purchased from their restaurant lol.
