We had a very positive experience at Life on 3rd. The room was a bit on the small side, not much space for more than a bed, but it was spotless and made up for it with the nice ensuite bathroom. Everything was nicely decorated and the breakfast/lounge area was very pleasant. The staff were great and flexible in meeting... More

I keep on coming back! This is a three star establishment with very good value for money. And the service is consistently great. What a pleasure to experience the hospitality of these ladies time and time again.

My husband and I also stayed at Life on 3rd during the Bon Jovi weekend and our experience was totally opposite of Lionsguesthouse-Els. Yes, parking was tight but everything was sorted out in good spirit by very friendly, efficient and helpful staff. The place has a very unique charm and serene atmosphere. I will highly recommend Life on 3rd and... More

Very special place - quiet, relaxed, and pleasant atmosphere and delightfully helpful and friendly staff. Melville is a nice, leafy suburb of Johannesburg with its own bars and restaurants. Really great!

The room was cosy, peaceful and comfortable. The design of the building and courtyard was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful. I got a very good price for the room, and will definitely return.

This place is adorable and makes one feel at home in a foreign, notoriously dangerous city. Firstly, we narrowed our search to Melville after we dismissed Jozi proper because of safety issues and had no interest in the more manufactured suburbs like Melrose, et al. Melville hit the sweet spot--- a hip little artistic area with a main street of... More

I have lived in Jo'burg for two years now and am on my way to Cape Town. I heard about Life on 3rd from a friend of mine. I stayed for two nights and it was great. It's safe and beautiful. My room was always clean and the staff are friendly and warm. I think for whatever reason you are... More
