Guest Reviews
- Catherine (10/5): Great stay in Melrose - Gorgeous small boutique hotel in Melrose. Felt very safe and a short uber drive to Rosebank mall. Great Greek restaurant nearby which the owner will drive you home after your meal. Henry the hotels driver is great and a good guide for Johannesburg. Sue and her wonderful staff were lovely and a pleasure to spend time with. Room lovely and big and great breakfasts.

- Don (7/5): It was a place to stay, served a purpose. - Location Tired rooms
Cleaners didn’t clean toilet after last guest and didn’t empty bar fridge of the last guests food.
- Peter (7/5): -
- Zaaid (7/5): I only stayed for one night and it was great besides not having hot water. Maybe they would sort it? - The rooms were clean and a decent size. The bed was comfortable and had a lovely lounge. We arrived in the evening but the security guard was friendly and walked us to a great restaurant down the street. The biggest issue was that I didn't have hot water. Since I only stayed for one night and took a shower in the morning prior to checking out, I was unable to request that they address the issue. My colleague who stayed in the room above me had the same problem. My other colleagues who stayed in the building next to us did not.

- Hans von London (8/5): - Good location and friendly staff Room has no aircon and bath, shower and toilet are in the same room as the bed
- Donovan (8/5): A comfortable stay in a boutique guest house, in a peaceful area. - Check in was prompt and efficient, Room is spacious and well laid out. Bed is large and comfortable, and the unit we had which was furthest away from reception was very quiet and peaceful. Room TV has various services available. Host Sue is very friendly and accommodating. Area is great for accessing Sandton, Melrose and surrounds. Breakfast felt limited, no cappuccino on offer, and a single small omelette was served. Coincidentally we where given the last cheese, so nothing available for toast, but Sue was very helpful. There also happened to be construction which was not indicated beforehand on booking.com. It didnt really disturb, but i still would have liked to be aware.

- Sean (10/5): Enjoyable and memorable - I loved the swimming pool, and the general ambience of the place. It;'s within safe walking distance to the Rosebank Mall, which is well worth a visit, and there are lots of amenities nearby too. A perfect location overall. I have no problems with the place

The staff were amazing, going out of their way to make us feel welcome and offering help whenever needed.
Sue was a fantastic host! It was a real pleasure hearing her stories, and she gave us excellent tips for sightseeing. Nothing
- Jonathan Gonnard (10/5): - L'hôtel est dans un quartier plutôt calme. Il possède un jardin arboré qui offre une ambiance de détente. La chambre était spacieuse et bien équipée, et la literie confortable. Une petite terrasse devant la chambre permet de profiter d'un moment de détente dehors. Le petit-déjeuner est correct et le personnel aimable et attentionné.

The gardens were stunning and felt like a total retreat from the bustle of the city. Would 100% recommend to any other travellers.
- Grace (9/5): -
- alain (8/5): Super - Le petit déjeuner était parfait et les employés étaient au petit soin
J'ai fort apprécié la proximité de l'hôtel avec l'événement qui m'a amené à Johannesburg et la disponibilité de toute sorte de nécessité aux alentours Le fait qu'il n'y ait que le petit déjeuner
- Jane (8/5): Delightful stay at a small guesthouse with all you need for a short stay - Large clean modern rooms. Large bathroom. Excellent breakfast. Staff fantastic Large well equipped rooms & bathroom
- Simon (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Cindy (9/5): Friendly staff, great stay - Francina, Trust and Breakfast team were amazing.
- Ntombenhle (8/5): -
- Dietrich Max (7/5): Vielleicht im Sommer akzeptabel - Lage Nicht einmal ein Wasser auf dem Zimmer,
gefährliche offene Gasheizung
- Morgan (5/5): Average - When the name boutique is used, one expectations are very high. I slept at Mynlyn Boutique in Pretoria, it was wow and met the standard.
- Nonjabulo (8/5): - It was close to the venue of the show we were attending and we were able to walk to and from safely.
- David (10/5): -
- Thembeka (10/5): -
- Dawn (10/5): Perfect & peaceful. - The setting was perfectly peaceful, all staff were very friendly & helpful. Sue, the owner, was delightful.
Our 5 day stay was excactly what we needed after our tour of Sth Africa.
- lerato (10/5): -
- Refiloe (6/5): -
- Edward (10/5): - Lovely boutique property on a quiet street in Sandton with easy walking to shops & restaurants. The staff were all so friendly and helpful!! Really good breakfast too!!!
- Elmine (10/5): - The kindness from the people and the willingness to assist and to accommodate. We felt welcomed and all our needs were met with ease. We loved the warmth and family atmosphere. Thank you for a lovely stay.
- Aadelah (8/5): - Clean and well maintained. Lovely breakfast. Quiet and lovely garden. Staff very helpful and friendly. Electric blanket to help with the cold. It was really cold (but that is the JHB winter). It is an older but charming building with glass doors, so it is tough to keep the room warm (it must be lovely in Summer). They do provide gas heaters in the rooms, but the one in my room kept switching off on it's own. They also provide enough blankets though.
The hot water pressure was low and kept dropping lower while showering. They don't provide a box or pack of tissues in the rooms.
- Giulia (8/5): -
- Angela (8/5): A pleasant short stay . - Perfect location for us . Beautiful setting. Pleasant staff and a great sized room . Delicious breakfast included Room and bathroom cold as it was winter. Offered a gas heater which we’re not really comfortable using.
- Arlene (7/5): -
- graham (8/5): -
- Aadelah (8/5): -
- Emily (8/5): We were made to feel very welcome and heaters were rustled up to help with the cold. Everyone was he - The location was excellent.
The breakfast was fine but not ideal for some dietary quirks.
We loved the decor - very English country home. But the property is so cold despite the heaters liberally available. It just needs thin trees trimmed to let in more light. More natural light into the rooms.
- Andrew (9/5): Will be back, and happy to recommend it! - Very comfortable. great location for Sandton, Rosebank etc.
Very quiet location, good security.
Staff are great!
- Christopher (10/5): Another warm welcome - We have stayed here on a number of visits as we use Johannesburg as a travel hub.
We arrive, and the room is ready. No fancy formalities, just a lovely greeting from Sue and the Staff.
Had a rather early morning departure to the Airport - breakfast was available - thank you
We will be back
- sidumisile (9/5): Beautiful place, - Staff extremely friendly and professional. .The room was spacious , luxurious and well designed .Amazing breakfast!! Nothing
- Vanessa (8/5): -
- Mabuza (10/5): Clean, Super convenient location and peaceful - We had a great stay! The room was spacious and clean, with a comfortable couch, cushions, a fan, and both a shower and a bath. There’s beautiful greenery outside, which does attract a few flying bugs, but nothing major — plus, there was Doom provided in the room just in case.
Breakfast was delicious, and various options were offered on the table.
The pool was big and perfect for relaxing, and the location is great — not far from Melrose Arch or Rosebank, making it super convenient. Definitely a peaceful and enjoyable spot! Nothing during our stay
