Protea by Marriott Hotel Transit O.R. Tambo Airport

O.R.Thambo international airport is so packed with ppl but nice though they return one of my small bag but the stuff sure knws its work

Great place for a layover! Oscar who first was our bartender and served us dinner was wonderful! For other guest wondering the shuttle to get here was great and on time. To find the shuttle once exiting baggage claim follow signs for the bus terminal. Once you arrive you will see many buses there. There is a sign posted with the hotel shuttle times. It came every 30min.

Couple staying to meet other travelers prior to a safari. Unfortunately, my partner cracked a rib in an accident. The hotel was very, very accommodating in getting a ride to the hospital. When she got out, the hotel was also amazing in letting us decide how many more days to stay and very late check out. It is clean and modern and the staff is wonderful. The rooms are small, but efficient. The food selection was amazing and everything we had was delicious! Really enjoyed this hotel and would gladly recommend to anyone.

Only pas by, not stay there, but people in area very friendly and helpful thank you appreciate it have a great week

Stayed here three times in the past month. Overnights in transit through OR Tambo. Chose it because it was close to the airport with free shuttle service and is a Marriott. Enjoyed the hotel each time. The style is aviation industrial so if you don't like polished concrete floors this is not for you. But it is immaculately clean and the styling is actually quite attractive. The rooms are beautifully laid out with wonderful showers and comfortable beds. Very very clean. The dining room restaurant has live music on several nights each week and it is a very energetic place with the bar as well. The food is good and they were gracious enough to allow us to have a later checkout at noon without charge. You can also pay them an extra $30 to extend your stay until 5:00 p.m. if you have a late flight overseas. That's nice to know. The only downside is that while I could literally SEE the hotel from the window of my departing jet, to get there from the airport is a 10-minute shuttle ride. And the shuttles don't come to the airport but once every half hour or so. Sometimes standing at the shuttle stop behind the intercontinental hotel can be a little unnerving especially for a single woman. It's dark and the walk over there across the street from the terminal exit about 100 yd has a long dark passageway. So while the hotel can't change its location, I'd suggest they lobby to get brighter lights installed along that walkway which my wife found a little scary when she did it alone. And obviously the walkway is populated by many people calling themselves porters who force themselves on you unless you are firm. And perhaps a posted schedule of the arrival times would help because one never knows if you just missed one or if there's one about to come. Other hotels have posted schedules so the proteas should do this. All in all I would go back, but I will certainly check the prices of the intercontinental which is dramatically more convenient. The city Lodge is also much much closer, but I understand their rooms are very spartan.

This visit was not a planned" stop over. I find All hotels overpriced. As I feel it was in this case. The room was fine

Is it possible to offer better rates for on transit clients who are on less than 12 hours laybye???

Stayed here for a forced overnight en route to Maseru. Check in was fast and the staff was very nice. Dinner was buffet vs menu style. We are from the buffet which had many options and was quite tasty. Drinks were also very good. The room is small with minimal amenities and/or complementary items but offers the basic necessities (warm, comfortable bed; hot shower). Internet is a bit slow as well but works. If you’re in the area for a short stay, I’d recommend the hotel. Perhaps consider a location with a larger room for a more extended stay.

It's a nice place, they have delicious food... you can have you a beer if you like and indoors swimming pool.

My stay at the place a pleasant one, but everything felt rushed. I don't like waiting, but you also want waiters and staff to be patient when explaining something to ensure you understand.
