I had a nice 3 night stay at Thulani Lodge. It is well-secured, clean, serves a nice breakfast, and has a reliable internet connection. The owner is a very nice guy and the housekeeper is a very nice woman too who made me feel so at home and comfortable. The hotel is also located at a central location, just a... More

I had a perfectly delightful stay at Thulani Lodge in September 2012. The room was comfortable, the bathroom huge and the breakfast delicious. The staff was very helpful, they even turned the electric blanket on for me early on the cool nights. And all for a very affordable rate.

Thulani Lodge is one of a few extraordinarily pleasant and accomodating guesthouse-type little hotels in Melville, a lovely Johannesburg neighborhood. This was my second visit to Thulani Lodge and it's even better the second time around...because you are actually remembered and greeted like an old friend, even after a few years, by Beat, the manager, and Boingi, lovely all-around helper/caregiver/friend....

I have stayed at this small, secluded hotel conveniently located in a side street in the Melville suburb of Johannesburg for a number of years now. When I arrived for my first visit, some five or even six years ago, the hotel exuded charm, warmth, good cheer, cleanliness, great service and good value for the rates then in effect. I... More

I spent one day/one night at Thulani Lodge during the World Cup. The place is fairly small and so are the rooms, which are very basic indeed but comfortable and value for money. The best thing about it is its location in Melville, close to shops, bars and restaurants. Melville almost feels like a small village, is safe and has... More

We spent 2 nights here during the World Cup and were most impressed by the helpfulness of Beat, the man in charge of the guesthouse. He offered numerous suggestions for activities in Jo'burg and was extremely helpful in arranging transportation. The ladies on staff served up a lovely hot breakfast each morning. The lodge itself is conveniently close to the... More
