A Charming Guesthouse in Melville!
Corlien and Pierre were very hospitable and friendly hosts. They have an excellent staff who work hard to ensure one's comfort (kudos to Patrick, Pretty and Patience!). The breakfasts were delicious...the menu extensive. As a cat lover, the very lovable Cesar made the environment like home!

Friendly staff and great service
Overall my stay here was very pleasant. The staff were warm and welcoming and took extra care to arrange for a very early morning departure and even made sure that I had breakfast before I left. The room was spacious with separate bathroom and closet areas. My one complaint is that the room was quite chilly with no heat and my visit was in the winter. Electric blankets are provided for the bed at night but, the room itself was too cold to comfortably relax in during the evening. (I understand that central heat is not common in SA but, a few small space heaters available to guests who request them would have made my stay a 5/5.)

Lovely place, warm staff
We had a lovely stay at Ginnegaap. The staff and owner were so nice and attentive to our needs, even when we asked for a cab arrangement after reception had closed. The room has everything you need, including a huge bed, a safe deposit box, a nice bathroom with amenities, a flat screen TV, an iron, and even an emergency button just in case. Breakfast was big and has a lot of options, and if you have to leave before breakfast time (like we did) they can prepare one for you the day before so you don't miss out on that as well. Overall, a wonderful place.

Quaint residence near hip area.
The owner and staff were very friendly. They helped organize a day tour of Johannesburg which is key for this city. Great breakfast, much more than we expected from a hotel in this price range. Room was modest but clean and had everything we needed. I would recommend this place as it gives you a chance to also explore the Melville neighborhood, which is a nice diverse area and close to everything.
