Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport

Clean comfortable rooms, beautiful breakfast buffet, friendly attentive service. Would definitely stay here again. The airport shuttle runs hourly, 5am until 10:30pm. Pick up at the airport is in an area behind the Continental Hotel and signage says “buses.” A helpful porter walked us to the correct area.

We loved the place. Near the airport, very comfy room, perfect breakfast, great personnel, great food and perfect coffee from the expresso machine. We had an issue with the air conditioner in the room and they rushed to change room immediately. If we come back, we will choose this place again. All personnel were amazing. Our kids were treated so well by anyone, specially Lizwe, who helped us has the perfect lunch. She was so kind! If you have disabilities, please note this hotel has some rooms like in the middle of two elevators, so there is a set of stairs you will need to take, so make sure you let the hotel you need a room at elevator level. They are very kind and will make their best to allocate the room.

I've been an IHG Diamond Elite member every year since 2019 and have spent over 300 nights at over 100 different Holiday Inn properties across over 10 countries across 4 continents. However, no where have I felt the quality of service that I did at the Holiday Inn Johannesburg Airport. From the moment I checked in with Colenn at the front desk, through dinner and breakfast, until check out, the staff was exceptionally professional and courteous. Every staff member would greet us as we passed by. During meals, they would routinely check in and make sure we were satisfied. During dinner, on duty manager William came by to check in on our stay and meal and joined us for a wonderful conversation. The hotel was newly renovated, dinner was delicious and very cost effective (huge serving sizes), breakfast buffet was wonderful as well. It was conveniently located near the airport and had an airport shuttle as well.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in April 2025 post flight and preflight as we were traveling to and from a Safari Lodge. The stays were about a week apart. The staff was great both times! The free airport shuttle service runs promptly and is very convenient and much safer alternative to uber or taxis when you are a foreigner. The hotel was also able to provide us private transportation to Mandela Square for a day of shopping. The food was delicious, and the portions were huge. Alungile waited on us for one meal, and did a wonderful job. Granny was our favorite waitress. She even remembered us when we came back for our 2nd stay. She was absolutely wonderful!

I stayed at this hotel after a long international trip, and as a senior, I truly appreciated the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly helpful, with a special mention to Chris at the front desk—he went above and beyond. He kept my daughter updated and assisted me with technology, which I often struggle with including a wake up call so I would not miss my flight. The breakfast was excellent, and the shuttle drivers were also very accommodating. What an amazing team! Thank you all for making my stay so enjoyable.
