Premier Hotel OR Tambo
Airport shuttle service is very efficient and won the hotel for me. Check in and out was seamless. Room was a bit too dark. Lighting switches are a bit of a complicated to navigate. Too many and placed all over the place for such a small room. Mattress was a bit too hard for me, I didn’t sleep too ...
