Unhappy customers 😑
This is definitely not a 4 stars hotel. It must be a 2 stars boutique homestay instead. Room is too small for 2 king bed. Bathroom is too small with old shower stall. Old furniture and squeaking wood floor. Felt unwelcome by the management. Definitely not happy stay and not recommend to others.

Great location. Very safe with security monitoring the neighborhood. Cozy place. Could do with a bit of a vacuum since we saw dust balls in a few places. The house keeper was very friendly and the cook/food was decent. no power backup so electricity went out with the load shedding.

A quiet harbour in a puzzling city
It was our first time in Johannesburg. The owner was very helpful, always ready to do us a favour (he called Uber a few times for our trips around the city, for taxis are very hard to find in Joburg, unless you want to take the collective ones, which for us appeared a bit complicated). The area is very quiet and nice, 7th street (and only 7th street!) is animated at night, with agreeable restaurants and bars. The personnel is great!

Fantastic stay.
We were initially booked in for 3 nights but enjoyed it so much that we ended up staying for 7. The guesthouse is lovely and the manager, Lizelle, could not have been more helpful. The local area is safe and packed with great restaurants and bars.

Gem of a family run 'hotel' in fantastic location!
I researched for somewhere in Johannesburg that my daughter and I could stay and meet local people and safely walk in the street - we were not disappointed! The guesthouse is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac and shares a locked stepped passageway up to the main street of Melville, where there is a range of cafes, restaurants and shops, especially the Lucky Bean, which we felt safe visiting for our supper after dark. Deidre couldn't do enough to assist us and make our stay a happy one, she also helped me to check in online for our onward travels. Liz, the proprietor, was always on hand prior to arrival, to answer questions associated with our stay. The guesthouse has a gem of a driver, Mike, to meet you from the Airport and take you on tours - he told us he had even accompanied someone up to the Victoria Falls via Botswana! He took us to some caves 'The Cradle of Mankind' and another excursion we enjoyed, when Mike wasn't free, was visiting Soweto and the Apartheid Museum, etc My daughter was delighted that we were greeted, in our room, by balloons and a lovely (and delicious) cake for her birthday on arrival! We stayed only two nights and wish we had found that there was so much to do prior to booking travel, as we would have stayed longer!

Excellent stay!
Only stayed one night in transit, but stay was excellent and certainly would return! Very early departure but the owner made sure we had a cooked to order hot full breakfast with eggs,bacon, yogurt,etc to send us off. Location was excellent, close to many restaurants and shops. Would highly recommend!

Home away from home
We had an excellent stay at the 7th Street Guesthouse. Its a cozy, comfy, clean and beautiful place! Add the warm hospitality by Liz and her staff to it which was like a cherry on top and made us feel right at home. The guesthouse is located in a safe and nice neighborhood. Also just a street away, there are lots of nice restaurants to choose from. I traveled to SA with kids so I was a bit nervous about staying at a guesthouse for the first time but we absolutely loved it. So its a very family oriented place. We stayed 3 nights there and will highly recommend it to all.

Friendly guesthouse stay in safe area
My wife and I stayed at the 7th Street Guesthouse for 2 nights. We felt very welcomed by Eunika who promptly showed us to our room and explained everything including how to get around the neighborhood (the guesthouse is located on a cul de sac just below the main drag of Melville's 7th Street...you need a key to access a private passage that leads up to the main drag where all the restaurants/shops are located). It really feels like you are staying in a home. Room was clean and comfortable...hot water kettle with tea/coffee were provided. Our stay was during winter so the heating panel on the wall worked great to keep us warm. Eunika was able to arrange a transfer to/from the guesthouse for R400 each way which gave us piece of mind with transportation. Would recommended for someone looking for a safe and comfortable guesthouse with friendly staff. Included breakfast was tasty and greatly appreciated.

Not the best stay
The room was not air conditioned. I froze in the Joburg cold. No phone line in the room; tough looking for people when you need something.

Gem in Melville
Only stayed one night to catch a flight the next day. Was perfect for that purpose. Apart from the cosy, safe guesthouse there was a private, safe, locked shortcut to the restaurant/bar area of 7th street Melville. It meant you could actually safely walk and didn't have to take a taxi as in so many other Jo'burg locations. Use of terrace, garden. Very nice.

Great Place Close to Restaurants
My girlfriend and I stayed at the guesthouse for two days and it was excellent. If I came back to Jo'burg I wouldn't even bother looking for another place I would just come back here. Our room was spacious, clean, secure and pleasant. The grounds were nice and there was a patio where meals were served or you could make yourself a coffee or tea. The staff was helpful and friendly and the owner was thoughtful and also had some great stories to share about her experiences living in the city. Laundry was included in the room rate so we emptied out all of our dusty safari clothes and handed them over to the staff. But the best part is the proximity to the 7th street restaurants. There is a private, locked and fenced in stairway that takes you from the guesthouse up to the restaurant area. The options are plentiful and delicious.

A gem in JoBurg
This hotel is a gem. The owner and staff are so nice and helpful, it gives you faith in human nature. I can't say enough good about this place and the people. Airport transfers, tour information and assistance, laundry service, fantastic breakfast, nice location right in Melville. The owner went out of her way to make me breakfast when I left early on my last day, and all requests during my stay were accommodated. Wonderful guesthouse, amazingly friendly and helpful owner and staff. Jeffrey and Precious were wonderful and knowledgeable drivers who made the tours and transport very enjoyable. Stay her when you are in JoBurg.
