Traveling for the first time into this part of "historical" South Africa and after hearing about the negative stuff, I wasn't sure how it will be, but "Lungi" made it a "smooth" ride. He knows many people around and will help you out in getting rid of the negative perceptions/stereotypes you have about this place. He can also spontaneously organize tours and guide you in showing different places around Jo'burg/Soweto. After staying here, I can say that staying here was better than in staying in Jo'burg.
The room & the toilets are clean...and no mosquitoes (at least inside the room). So, it was a learning & a great stay! :)

I stayed 7 days at the Melville House and felt like its a hostel that really understands community and sharing. Staff was great, talkative and helpful. Other guests staying there were mingling and cool. I met local students looking for long term accomodation, long term travellers stopping by in Johannesburg and I myself was on workation - which was great in my private room that had an amazing comfortable bed and i had my own bathroom. The shared spaces were a place to meet the others and the surrounding is relatively save for Joburg standards so that I could even go for walks and jogg in the morning. Loved it!

Excellent Breakfast Great location, right across from Mandela Square Mall, 7mins walk from the Gautrain station as well. Safe parking which was great.
Awesome staff, beautiful common areas, good breakfast, very convenient location near the Park station, spacious rooms. I felt very safe in and around the hostel in the Maboneng area, using common sense is recommended but everything was great!!
Everything, the rooms are sound proof, the facilities they provided like kettle, safe, hair dryer
Great location. Cheap for Sandton. Safe area. Good environment
I felt safe in the location and the place is beautifully decorated. The fridge decorated with currencies of the backpackers who have stayed there is cute. It makes the hostel unique.
