We were looking for a reasonable place to stay that was walking distance from some good restaurants in Johannesburg as we flew in during the evening and were departing town in the morning. I read about the Melville location in Lonely Planet and saw that Motel Mi Pi CHi was recommended in several places. We book two of the rooms... More

The place looks dodgy from the outside as the front gate is a bit small and the walls hide everything it can.. but later we found out the we're supposed to use the gate on the side. The chic lounge is quite lacking in space and so I didn't expect much but when I got to my room, it was... More

What a great place! When we first drove up to it, we didn't think that it looked much, hidden behind red brick walls, but once inside we loved it! Virginia and her assistant Tully were really friendly and helpful and advised us where to eat (loads of places within walking distance - and as a couple in our 50's we... More

I absolutely love the place. It is a very nice and warm place and the staff are friendly. The bedrooms are lovely and spacious. I have stayed in many guesthouses in melville but Mi Pi Chi is really special. It is close to the restaurants and shops. I will definitely stay there again.

Located in the quite and eclectic suburb of Melville, MMPC is a total delight for a city stay or as a home base for a longer vacation. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing (which can happen in a small guest house). The space itself if beautifully designed, bright and airy, with luxuriously appointed rooms. The existing photos... More

OK, so the “motel” surname is a bit misleading, and while the reviews were good, I was still a bit apprehensive. As an American, I typically do not stay in "motels". We arrived past 9:30 pm. From the airport we phoned the contact number, and we were told there was someone in the motel who would greet us. The guard... More

We only stayed here for one night, but we lovend it! It is beautiful decorated and the hotel is situated in à safe neighbourhood. Our plane left at midnight, but we were more than welcome to keep the car parked in the parkinglot and hang out in the lounge after we came back from our joburg daytrip.

I was traveling alone in Johannesburg and motel Mi Pi Chi was very accommodating. Virginia looked after me very well, from my airport pickup to my departure. Breakfast stops serving at 9 which is a little early but it did get me out of bed earlier so I was able to do more during the day. Interior decoration is chic,... More

We had a great stay! Both Victoria and Nicky were extremely helpful! We arrived at Mi Pi Chi rather late which they were willing to accomodate, in addition to arranging a taxi service from the airport. When we arrived it looked rather strange as it seemed a house from the outside with high walls and we had to enter a... More
