Everything of Southern Sun or Tampo Int’l Airport hotel was good except that the room windows didn’t seemed to be able to close tightly. We could feel the draft which made our rooms cold. The heaters couldn’t work either.

Was only there for one night stay, the person at the front dest was nice and friendly. My room key didn’t work so they transferred me to another room. The breakfast was pretty good too. And there’s a shuttle to and from the airport every 15minutes. One night stay was more than enough for me

Great Location and Convenient Shuttle Service I recently stayed at the Southern Sun O.R. Tambo International Airport Hotel and found it to be very convenient. The location is ideal, being so close to the airport, which made catching my flight stress-free. They offer a complimentary shuttle bus service every 15 minutes from the airport’s Bus Terminal to the hotel, which was incredibly convenient. The room itself was acceptable, the bed was particularly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Overall, a good option for travelers looking for comfort and ease near the airport.
