Such a pleasant stay
I wanted some peace from the bustle of Johannesburg for one night and found this guest lodge to be perfect and I felt very safe.
A large room with a comfortable bed plus a big bathroom. The bathroom was modern and well appointed with a spacious bath and separate shower.
The property was quiet, even though it was full of guests, and the breakfast generous.

Great stopover
We have used Melrose Place on a few stopovers and have never been let down. Transport was available from the OR Tambo Airport. Safe and secure. Convenient for shops and excellent places to eat.
Our room was clean and ensuite spacious bathroom with a bath and shower. Kettle to brew the important morning cuppa! Sociable breakfast time exchanging travel experiences

Quiet retreat in Melrose
We stayed in a ground-floor flat/room. Own entrance Immaculate and in good condition.
Fridge, kettle to make your own brew, comfortable bed and good wifi.
Very comprehensive breakfast.
Even in April, my wife ventured into the pool for a refreshing swim.
Plenty of places to eat within safe walking distance.
Lovely and quiet. Certainly return when we visit friends again

Very good venue and location. There are some service quirks as you would expect from a guesthouse. But the rest is exceptional value for money.

an oasis of calm
I stay here whenever I visit Joburg - its a lovely setting with a central swimming pool and rooms scattered around - the staff are very friendly as is the wonderful owner Sue. The food is excellent and the honour bar brings out the best in guests! - very well located from the business district but just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of this vibrant city to make you feel you are in a country retreat

It was okay
I did not have a car and I had to use an Uber to get to a restaurant so no in-house dining. I was offered a Mr Delivery menu but did not wish to eat in my room or in the breakfast area.
The bedroom was very comfortable but my bathroom not great.
Breakfast was superb except for the sharing of the farm style tables

Sicheres Johannesburg
Der Stadtteil Sandton gehört auf jeden Fall zum sicheren Teil der Stadt. Die Anlage
ist sehr idyllisch gelegen. Die Zimmer sind geräumig, sehr sauber und die Gastgeberin
überaus sympathisch. Ca 300 Meter entfernt ist ein wirklich gutes griechisches Restaurant, das man gut zu Fuß erreichen kann.

Hidden Gem
This is a wonderful little hotel tucked away in a suburb of Johannesburg. At first glance it may seem to be in the middle of nowhere, but it is actually quite convenient. Try Moyo African restaurant nearby and the Italian restaurant a block away. Although they offer a shuttle service, the best and cheapest way to go is by using Uber. Download the app before you leave the U.S., and you will save almost half.

Trevligt bemötande av ägarinnan och övrig personal. Hotellet är personligt och charmigt men rummet började bli slitet.

We Loved It!!!
it was spectacular, all around.... not one negative things to say. the owner was so sweet, Peter the guard was so helpful and everyone was so helpful and calmed any anxiety I had.
I was initially very concerned about picking places that would treat Black American right, I made an absolutely fantastic choice and we will be back!!!
