Great choice for airport stay.
Large room, comfortable bed, good lighting. Evening buffet is excellent as is breakfast. Nice little outdoor pool. Hotel has a nice ambience.
In places a little tired and dated, especially the bathroom.
Was good value, and proximity to airport and free shuttle make it an excellent choice.

Great Stay
My flight arrived late. A porter from the airport walked me to the shuttle bus for the hotel. A short ride and I was greeted at the front desk. Quick check in to a clean comfortable room. Good wifi. It was very quiet and I got a good nights sleep.The morning breakfast was amazing. The selection of fruit, cereal, pastries, hot selections and great coffee was a great start to the day. Staff members are friendly and helpful.

Pleasant stay close to OR Tambo
Rooms are a little old and very dated. But the staff were excellent. There was a tax that was not included when we booked through Hotels.com (even though they said it was). We paid on arrival - the receptionist was very apologetic but it wasn’t much (

Ideal for travellers
Convenient, comfortable stay at Sun International OR Tambo! Excellent service, superb breakfasts and effortless airport access. The rooms are a bit tired but the bed linen was fresh and crisp. One would expect more in room amenities at a 4* hotel; there wasn’t even a fridge. Fortunately Thomas the friendly concierge/guest services agent made a plan to refrigerate my father’s insulin and duty free cheese.
*Option 2: Detailed Review*
"4.5/5 stars!
Exceptional Stay at Sun International OR Tambo!
Pros:
- Stylish, soundproof rooms
- Friendly, efficient staff
- Luxurious spa and gym
- Convenient airport shuttle
- Excellent dining options
Cons: Minor delays in check-in.
Perfect for transit passengers or business travelers seeking comfort and convenience."

One night layover
I was in a one night layover and didn’t realize that my bags were checked to Victoria Falls. They took care of me with toothbrush and shaving kits and were pleasant and courteous. They also have great pillows!

Decent stay
My trip was a one night stay. I was picked up from the airport using the complimentary shuttle service. The check-in was straightforward though i was surprised to hear about an outstanding amount. The food was decent, though the dinner was delayed because of several people around. Breakfast was good. Some water spilling out from the shower when in use but overall the bathroom was spacious and clean, just missing some hand wash soap. The bed was very comfortable.

A nice place for a great pric close to the airport
This is a nice hotel for the price. I was given a smoking room and asked to switch rooms. I was accommodated very quickly. The room was comfortable. The shuttle service to the airport is great. They come every 15 minutes 24 hours a day. The complimentary breakfast was excellent. The only negative is that the coffee was average at best.
