Great location, great price, and very nice property. The property was very quiet and within walking distance to some restaurants. The staff that we interacted with were very nice. They give you a gate remote to come and go as you please which is nice. The rooms were large and comfortable.

Only downside is I could not connect to the wifi the entire time we were there. I wanted to ask a member of staff for help, but every time we left our room there was no one to be found. I finally got it to connect the morning we left, but it booted me off 10 mins later. The lack of anyone around was also a problem when we arrived and were stuck outside the gate for 10 minutes waiting for security to open it. Not having staff around is typically nice if it were not for these two issues.

The staff were absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much to Sue, Francina, Peter, Jeanette and all the amazing staff we had the pleasure of meeting. The room we stayed in was lovely and huge. It had a balcony, which was lovely to sit outside on and watch the birds from our own private garden oasis. The area is lovely and there are great restaurants within a short walking distance. We would definitely recommend staying at Melrose Place, and if we are lucky enough to visit again, we will definitely stay here.

Everything was great.

A lovely little oasis in the middle of the city! They really go above and beyond to make sure you have the best stay possible. The entire team is super helpful, the facilities are lovely and it really felt like home away from home, not a hotel. The owners are happy to consult on possible activities and routes and security staff will make sure that you safely get on your uber or if walking, are happy to provide tips for staying safe. Would happily stay here again if in Johannesburg!

This is a tranquil safe sanctuary with a perfect location. It truly feels like an oasis. It's gated yet we felt safe walking about during the day. Every staff member met us with a smile and a warmth that you could feel. I actually arrived needing to see a doctor for strep throat. The owner Sue called and set up the doctor appointment and the uber ride for me she could not have been more helpful !!! Daily breakfast is included and it's a hot delicious breakfast where you eat in the beautiful dining room with other visitors. We even met some friends we traveled with during our stay. I chose this place to stay with our friends because of all the good reviews and every one is true !!!please stay here!

The property is simply lovely, it's like a little piece of heaven in Johannesburg, so green and peaceful. On top of that, the people working there, from Pieter in the entrance to Sue (the owner) are simply lovely, kind and helpful people, making you feel extremely valued as guest.

Really liked everything. Maybe one small suggestion would be to add a water bottle in the fridge so that when guests arrive they can have some drinking water, especially in warm summer days ;)

We loved everything. The place has a fantastic feel, the breakfast is delicious and the rooms are spacious and lovely. Most importantly, the staff was superb in accommodating our early arrival and helping us organise (very last minute) our visit to the city in complete safety, using their contacts and expertise (and lots of their time!).

There was nothing we didn't like

Such a nice "hideout" place. A quiet, green oasis but yet close to get anywhere you want. Cozy atmosphere, like a family house. Great rooms. Host is super accomodating and lovely, as well as ever smiling staff. Definitively staying here should I return.

• The place is clean, beautiful, and peaceful! • We were well hosted. Everyone was super amazing! Wonderful staff! Wonderful owner! • We absolutely enjoyed our stay! • We 100% recommend Melrose Place Guest Lodge

- There was a little mishap with the hot water on day 1 of our trip; it was quickly rectified, and everything went smoothly after that - WiFi connection wasn't so great in one of the rooms

The breakfast was great and catered for everyone health wise

Ensure that your towels are air dried fully,they had an unpleasant smell from either not getting enough air dry or needed to be changed frequently.They didnt smell fresh. Maybe also consider having aircons in the rooms

The stuff is nice and friendly, the lady who runs the place is available when you need her. It was close to the stadium, a walking distance. Peaceful and safe.

They didn’t have takeaway for breakfast 😞not a train smash though I had work in the morning. But overall there’s nothing I did not like.
