We loved the decorating of the hotel as well, which was all airport/aircraft related. Especially loved the paper plane wall in the restaurant! We also had the pleasure of having the wonderful Katlego look after us for dinner. She was a riot! Very engaging and we loved chatting with her about our trip.

Solid Airport Hotel
May 21, 2025Linda YFrisco, Texas
We enjoyed 3 separate 1 night stays here between flights. Comfy bed, spacious room (just a note to request the ‘quiet side’ that does not face the highway). Complimentary shuttle runs like clockwork, and is short walk from arrivals ( follow signs for bus terminal, past Intercontinental Hotel). Lovely breakfast buffet and aviation/warehouse themed…

We had an opportunity to stay at 2 other airport hotels this trip, and this Marriott property is my first choice.

Great Airport Hotel with Free Shuttle
May 11, 2025MattyMitchellSydney, Australia
Great little hotel airport with Free shuttle which makes access really simple and easy.
The pool is decent at the property, however, be prepared for the water to be a little on the cold side.
Decent atmosphere at the property and there's generally always a buzz around the restaurant / bar area. Has Supersport channels showing the English Premier…

Great little hotel airport with Free shuttle which makes access really simple and easy.
The pool is decent at the property, however, be prepared for the water to be a little on the cold side.
Decent atmosphere at the property and there's generally always a buzz around the restaurant / bar area. Has Supersport channels showing the English Premier League so great to watch football whilst chilling and waiting for your next flight.
We actually travelled around Southern Africa for 3 weeks and has 3 separate 1 night stays in JoBurg at the Protea OR Tambo and each time was exactly what you needed. Quick pickup, easy chick-in, comfortable room, decent food (if required)

Staff Ignoring Do Not Disturb for no reason
Apr 14, 2025Aluette V
It is expected that in an International Hotel like the Protea Marriot OR Tambo with a captive hotel market, that staff understand 1 very basic yet important customer need. If I hang a Do Not Disturb Board on my door I do not expect a hotel staff member to ignore that and knock and shout several times. No emergency. The reason was to ask us what…

It is expected that in an International Hotel like the Protea Marriot OR Tambo with a captive hotel market, that staff understand 1 very basic yet important customer need. If I hang a Do Not Disturb Board on my door I do not expect a hotel staff member to ignore that and knock and shout several times. No emergency. The reason was to ask us what time we will check out the next morning?.!! Well obviously we know we must checkout as per hotel policy by 11am. This was unacceptable and totally unbelievable behaviour. Please fix it Protea Management. Basic training.

excellent overnight hotel.

staff is amazing. the shuttle service makes this hotel close to the airport, and very convenient. the Protea service we have come to love is evident all around.
room was very clean, big. Granted that the bathroom set up is weird. the hotel is very beautifully decorated. it's like stepping into a lifestyle magazine.
