Melville was a great neighborhood, and the accommodation was very comfortable. Several good restaurants within a couple blocks, which was good. They provided secure off street parking. The fact that it included a full breakfast at a neighboring bakery/cafe was icing on the cake. Recommend it highly.

A lovely place to stay. This isn't the normal guest house or hotel, these are individual rooms and studios within an enclosure, all at ground level. Suitable if your mobility isn't brilliant but you can cope with slopes, small steps and thresholds but probably not suitable for a wheel chair. Very secure, there are tall walls and fences around and... More

I used to live in Joburg and love Melville, so I was pumped to be put up on 7th street where i was there for meetings. And I was not disappointed. This place was really superbly situated, and the rooms are really spacious and comfortable. I loved it! Good breakfast as well. In general staff was great as well. However,... More

Steps away from the wonderful restaurants and shops in the Melville neighborhood. Accomodations were very comfortable and the staff always helpful. WiFi works well and the breakfast is excellent. I've been to Joburg many times and this is one of my favorite neighborhoods. Highly recommended.

This is a modern and well decorated place. Rooms are large and very confortable. To complete the location is perfect. Close to nice restaurants and coffee shops. Cozy street and very lively area. You can't go wrong! The manager, Emily, is a very sweet person. The whole staff will make you feel home. I'll definetively will be there the next... More

I would definitely choose to stay at the suites again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great... More

My short two night stay gave me a taster for Johannesburg. Emily arranged airport pick up ,tailor made city tour and transfer with a professional reliable driver called Solly. Nothing was a problem. Room very comfortable and clean. Melville may not be Sandton but you get the chance to stay in what appears to be a real neighbourhood with good... More

Really enjoyed out time at Saffron. The manager, Emily, was a gracious hostess who really did care that we were comfortable and well informed. We will be back in Jo'burg in one month and will stay at Saffron again. The town of Melville is artsy funky and safe to walk around in, even at night for two women on our... More

Saffron is one of the best places I have ever stayed. I will always go back. Melville is full of character, and despite a lot going on in the neighborhood, Saffron itself is quiet. The grounds are lovely, the rooms are spacious, very clean, and include everything you need. The wireless worked great, and the breakfast they arrange for you... More
