It’s in more of residential neighbourhood but food and essentials are only 20 - 30 minute walk away.

The value and close proximity to the airport. Also, the Spanish Inn aesthetic was pretty unique. Next door to a public park is nice too. The marsh area 10 way is a bird paradise during the right season.

The shower was broken so took a bit of fiddling. Once it got going, it was lovely. It was also a bit scary getting there in the dark as it involved a lot of twists and turns in dark, narrow streets. I would have been a bit worried if on my own.

Airport Tower Lodge is a gorgeous quirky place not far from the airport. The staff were friendly and helpful, the grounds were lovely, beds were comfortable. Good value for money. Lovely pool if the weather had been warmer.

Hotel shuttle was a taxi which we ended up waiting for over an hour. If we had known, would have taken an uber for half the cost and no wait time.

Food was good, bed and room comfortable.

Light switch in upstairs toilet area instead of downstairs.

It is like a rural setting yet in the middle of a residential area. Very unique.

The location is fantastic, minutes from the airport but in a extremely quiet neighbourhood. The rooms are spacious, the bathroom even more so! The style of the building is unique and the pool area felt both warm and secluded. The staff were great, the dinner excellent and served on the minute that you pre-order it for. Stayed there 2 nights a week apart, and the second night felt like I was returning home!

Great place....stayed for a night. Receptionist was really hospitable. You can organize with them for a pick up and drop off from and to OR TAMBO, at a 280rand price. Its a distance of 15min from OR Tambo. Then from Airport Tower Lodge there's a mall nearby that is just 3-5min drive or less. The view is mind blowing and the rooms are exquisite!!!!!! Makes you feel as if you are in a palace. This, amma do again! Thanks guys.

The general maintenance of the rooms could be improved. On our first 2 stays, our bathroom louvre door had most of the slats missing & the shower handle to control the water was broken off. Apparently, a replacement part had been ordered but not yet arrived. The room for our last stay was better, but the front door was warped & difficult to open or close & the shower leaked into the bedroom as the screen door didn't fit properly. An air-conditioner was available to heat the room, but short circuited the lights if used. Electric blankets were provided, but only one was working. Dinner was offered, but as we found out later, it was not cooked on site. We only realized this when we saw our meals being delivered by motorbike & by the time we got our food, some of it was cold. If we'd known prior, we would have ordered our own takeaway & had it delivered hot to our room. Hard working & kind staff, but the poor maintenance of rooms detracted from our stay.

Close to airport & clean accommodation. We stayed on 3 separate ocasions for overnight between flights.The owner was kind, responsive & helpful. She allowed us to leave a bag of excess clothes with her whilst we went on safari in Botswana, which was greatly appreciated. Nice breakfast at an extra cost. Airport transfers arranged on request for a fee.

Unfortunately did not get the room we reserved. Moved to a room not of our choice — hole in bathroom ceiling. Not a practical layout.

The receptionist made an ageism remark, and the electrics were a safety hazard, and the light in the bathroom was not functioning effectively.

Proximity to airport and shuttle arrangements. The room was clean and well prepared

Clean & comfortable room. Beautiful gardens in secure premises. Friendly & helpful staff. Delicious hot breakfast at an extra charge. Reasonably priced & safe airport transfer.

The swimming pool had a lot of algae, but since this was the winter season, I did not expect to use the swimming pool. With the proprietor Nicolene having recently lost her husband, keeping up with pool maintenance is probably a challenge. This is not the Lodge's fault, but I wish more people would book this undiscovered gem. There was only one young couple there as guests during our stay which made us feel a bit lonely. There are no walk-ins allowed for security reasons. I hope good ratings on Booking.com increase the lodge's popularity.

Airport Tower Lodge is gated and in a secure residential area close to a public park which had numerous Sunday picknickers. In the daytime you can see planes coming in for a landing, but the noise is not excessive. Staying at Airport Tower Lodge is like staying at a huge Spanish Hacienda- as a matter of fact, before it became a lodge, it was a private residence. The ambiance is amazing! Nicolene made us feel so welcome that we regretted staying only two nights. When she saw that we had lots of luggage, she upgraded us to a ground-floor room so we did not have to climb the stairs to our booked Tower Room. I highly recommend the Continental Breakfast which was way beyond our expectations. For dinner, the tasty Asian Stir Fry can be split between two people and even then, you may have trouble finishing the big portion. The lodge arranges shuttle transfer to and from the JNB airport with a local taxi service for 250 Rand each way. The Honesty Bar operates on an honor system- you just write down what you consumed. Coffee and tea are free all day. We'll stay there again if we are ever back in Johannesburg.

Some of the furniture looked a bit worn out and needing replacing. There were quite a few steep stairs to get from the door of the room to the room itself and then more stairs to get to the bathroom, which was on the second level. So the room interior was interesting but a bit inconvenient when you had to go to the bathroom at night.

Nice little hotel close to the airport, perfect for a one-night stay if you have a long layover. Staff were really friendly and polite. It’s right next to a lake and a park, so the view is also great. We were on our honeymoon and staff had decorated our room, which was really cool! Thank you!

Janine was very nice the first day we arrived. The second stay instead, there was another lady at the reception and we found the sheets with a hole and the lady probably was not exptert enough to handle the situation and we had to suggest a solution
