Top hotels in Johannesburg CBD
The Parktonian All Suite Hotel
Hotel is in a good location. Pool was out of action for the 11 nights in which I stayed. Food menu was limited and average. Staff were friendly and helpful. Rooms were large. The hotel is old and it shows. The hotel is good value for money. Shame about the pool being out of action. Wifi is good.

Premier Hotel OR Tambo
Nice and convenient for the airport but i was on the 8th floor and it had a smell of smoke all through the passageway and my room. Rooms were very well decorated though and comfortable.

Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport by IHG
The place doesn’t offer a buffer I think it’s a worst experience I had while my stay there the service was not what I expected it as the name itself
