    We loved the cozy old-style atmosphere and the friendly staff at this guesthouse. The rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. The location in the Melville district was convenient, with plenty of good restaurants nearby. The breakfast was delicious, with freshly baked bread every day.

    Felt safe walking at night, no complaints at all. Stay safe out there!

    Nothing to complain about, we appreciated this accommodation and would be happy to recommend. It was a comfortable place, had extremely friendly staff at request. Our location was perfect in an area that seems to be safe. Ate at Bambanani, it's approx 10-15 minutes' walk from the venue.

    I truly enjoyed its affable and excellent employees.

    It was an amazing stay for an overnight business trip. The king room was nicely furnished, it had climate control, a personal safe and a refrigerator. The location was excellent on a lovely neighborhood.

    Nestled in a peaceful and serene environment, this guesthouse offers a wonderful atmosphere that guarantees a relaxing stay. The friendly and helpful staff make sure to go the extra mile to ensure guests have a fantastic experience. The freshly baked bread served every day adds a delightful touch to the surprising breakfast menu. the option of having dinner served upon request is a convenient feature that adds to the overall experience. With reasonable prices, this guesthouse offers great value for money.

    The internet connection can be slow at times, but this may be due to external factors such as load shedding, a power-saving measure implemented by the local power company. Nevertheless, it would be beneficial for the guesthouse to address this issue to enhance guest satisfaction.

    I had a wonderful stay at this charming guesthouse. The spacious suite I stayed in had a lovely view of the colorful garden in the back, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The attention to detail was evident throughout, from the friendly and helpful staff to the delicious breakfast with home-made bread. The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet and safe neighborhood but still within easy walking distance to the restaurants and bars of the area. It was truly a delightful experience.

    I couldn't find a single thing that needed improvement.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hidden gem in Joburg. This hotel exceeded my expectations in every way. the location is ideal, nestled in a quiet and safe neighborhood with easy access to the vibrant restaurants of Melville. The beautiful surroundings and lovely garden were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Secondly, the service provided by the staff was exceptional. They went above and beyond to ensure that every need was met, and their genuine care for the guests was evident. Finally, the rooms were comfortable and well-equipped with all amenities I needed. The terrace attached to my room provided a tranquil spot to enjoy my morning coffee. And the breakfast, with its delicious home-made bread, was the perfect start to each day.

    All was lovely, nothing to complain about.

    We stayed at a guesthouse near the airport with lovely surroundings and great access to nearby restaurants in a bustling neighborhood. The breakfast was great, and we felt safe parking our car in the secure garage. The rooms were clean and comfortable with much charm.

    The air conditioning in the room kept making noises throughout the night, which was quite disturbing.

    Had an incredible weekend in a charming B&B with a tranquil garden and breathtaking view. Being welcomed by friendly staff felt like coming home. The best part was the breakfast, complete with tasty gourmet options and fresh coffee. Got some complimentary snacks that proved handy for afternoon tea. Another highlight was the location, in the heart of a bustling neighbourhood, close to lovely restaurants and shops for quality souvenirs.

    Only minor downside was the bathroom that had a leaking faucet, but nothing too inconvenient. Would appreciate some soundproofing in the walls next time, as could hear the TV from the neighbouring room.

    I loved the location in this city, as it was in a pleasant area close to shops and restaurants, surrounded by small hills. The hotel facilities were clean and tidy, and I appreciated having a secure parking space. The breakfast served by the staff was one of the best I've ever had, with locally unique breakfast options. The staff were friendly and professional in providing excellent service during my stay.

    All good.

    I have found my new favorite spot in the city! The staff was simply amazing, always attentive and offering great service. The location was perfect - in a quiet and safe area, but still close enough to the city center. Plus, the private pedestrian lane was a great addition, with plenty of cafes and restaurants just a few steps away. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast was simply delicious. a fantastic experience that I hope to repeat soon!

    While the hotel was charming and cozy, it might not appeal to everyone's taste. The decor is more traditional and vintage, which may not suit those looking for a more modern vibe.

    The staff treated us like family and the rooms were dope. We were able to walk to Parkview Golf Club and SAB World of Beer, which were lit and totally worth it if you're into cool activities. And OMG, the breakfast, especially the omelette with cheese, was fire!

    The only thing we would've wanted is a bit more nighttime party vibes. Some more fun activities for young party-goers would have made our stay even more lit.
