Unhappy customers 😑
This is definitely not a 4 stars hotel. It must be a 2 stars boutique homestay instead. Room is too small for 2 king bed. Bathroom is too small with old shower stall. Old furniture and squeaking wood floor. Felt unwelcome by the management. Definitely not happy stay and not recommend to others.

Great location. Very safe with security monitoring the neighborhood. Cozy place. Could do with a bit of a vacuum since we saw dust balls in a few places. The house keeper was very friendly and the cook/food was decent. no power backup so electricity went out with the load shedding.

A quiet harbour in a puzzling city
It was our first time in Johannesburg. The owner was very helpful, always ready to do us a favour (he called Uber a few times for our trips around the city, for taxis are very hard to find in Joburg, unless you want to take the collective ones, which for us appeared a bit complicated). The area is very quiet and nice, 7th street (and only 7th street!) is animated at night, with agreeable restaurants and bars. The personnel is great!

Fantastic stay.
We were initially booked in for 3 nights but enjoyed it so much that we ended up staying for 7. The guesthouse is lovely and the manager, Lizelle, could not have been more helpful. The local area is safe and packed with great restaurants and bars.
