What the reviews say

The guest at a corner table alone got breakfast brought to her room the night before an early departure, no fuss asked. Infrastructure is dated and the reviews flag keeping valuables close, even in a locked bag.

  • One reviewer warned others not to leave personal belongings in their rooms, even secured in closed luggage stored in a corner.
  • A traveller noted that breakfast is served at a nearby bar, is included in the stay, and that staff arranged an early morning takeaway the night before when she had an early departure.
  • Infrastructure issues, including a full-night power outage and water and Wi-Fi being switched off after hours, requiring calls to staff to restore them.
  • One woman highlighted that driver Matthew, who can be arranged for airport transfers, also runs Soweto tours and was a standout part of her trip.
  • Water and Wi-Fi have been reported as switching off during the night, requiring guests to call staff to restore them.
  • Airport transfers can be arranged on request, with driver Matthew available for both transfers and Soweto tours.
  • Rooms are described as large, clean, well-decorated, and comfortable, though a hairdryer is not provided.
  • Nightlife venues are a short distance away but reviewers reported the noise did not carry into the rooms.
  • The infrastructure is dated and reviewers noted it does not fully match the photos shown online.

Where it is

16 7th Street, Corner 5th Ave, Melville, Johannesburg, 2092, South Africa

The guesthouse is in a quiet area with nightlife nearby, close enough to be convenient for younger travellers but not intrusive. A control person is stationed at the entrance at all times.
