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!

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.
Great location and quite safe
Mary was excellent with her communications and directions and we found Windsong easily. Great location and felt v safe in a beautiful enclosure. We were welcomed and guided round The Nest and had a lovely stay.
everything! great location, safe area, reliable host, the views, the serenity , privacy with each room. I liked everything, i am undoubtedly booking again.
The property was great. It was in a great location, felt safe in the area
Safety, great location close to Sandton city mall, the staff were friendly even borrowed me a plug to charge my power bank, no load shedding, cooking utensils
This is by far one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are AMAZING! Super friendly and really helpful. The hostel is clean, well equipped if you want to cook and the meals they can provide on request are tasty and reasonably priced. I did the 4 hour bike tour in Soweto with them as well which was brilliant. I felt super safe in the area as a solo female and will definitely go back. Really easy to get Ubers into Joberg for museums etc.
Cool little backpackers with a big team of staff who are always so friendly and up for a chat. It also serves at a bar so there is a good mix of locals and other travellers at evening time, the locals in Joburg are so friendly you will make friends even if the hostel is a little quiet. Also the staff do their best to look after you and make sure you are safe when you walk the streets, I was actually stopped in the middle of the street by a staff member to warn me I was going down a bad road. I would love to and plan to stay again.
the staff is super nice at curiosity and you will meet a lot of backpackers from different countries, what makes the amazing vibe. The hostel is pretty central and you can walk around in this safe neighborhood. They have good food there and good coffee. The hostel looks nice and is very modern. Very recommendable! I think the best place to stay in Joburg.
