Staff is great, whether front desk, porters, bar, restaurant; rooms are small but very comfortable and clean with all the things you need; 6 minutes from the airport; reliable shuttle to the airport (shuttle will pick you from the airport but it's simpler to just take a taxi). When I have an overnight need at Tambo this is my regular.

Perfect for a quick stop near the airport.

We had a good stay at this hotel. Service was wonderful and the food was very good - fresh and tasty. The room was clean and bed comfortable. Only thing we didn’t like was the shower was in the bedroom with a curtain only to separate and there was no toiletries on arrival. The shuttle service to and from the airport was timely and easy to use. We would stay again.
