stayed at a lovely guest house with warm and thoughtful hosts. They went the extra mile, offering to drive us around and even did our laundry. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, with free drinks and coffee. Breakfasts were amazing. Melville is a great location with boho vibes. Will definitely return.

no nearby walkable restaurants

Great food & drinks...

The hosts were amazing- they went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Kudos to Gladys and David.

The location of the guest house is perfect, with easy access to Melville's dining and shopping areas. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfortable, with spacious bathrooms and all the necessary amenities. The hosts are warm and welcoming, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The breakfasts are delicious and plentiful, providing a great start to the day. The peaceful and quiet environment allows for a relaxing retreat, while still being conveniently located near attractions like the Apartheid Museum.

Limited parking facilities available.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this place! From the moment we arrived, the owners went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. They even upgraded our rooms without any extra cost, giving us a luxurious and spacious space to relax in. The rooms were beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we could need, including a large bathroom with a great shower. The attention to detail in the decor and the cleanliness of the entire hotel was impressive.

I got a lot more than I expected- on top of the nice room, the Hosts were exceptional

Our hosts, Gladys and David, were the most accommodating, thoughtful poeple one could hope for. They went beyond the call of duty, picking us up in the evening after dinners out, making last minute arrangements for a Soweto toru when the one we booked failed to materialize. Breakfasts were high quality, cooked to order and varied for each of the four days we staryed. We would return in a heartbeat.

In particularly hot weather, we missed air conditioning, but were offered a fan which was quite adequate.

our recent stay at a guest house in johannesburg was fantastic! from the moment we arrived, the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel at home. they even took us to local attractions and restaurants for free. the rooms were spacious, clean, and had a romantic touch. the breakfast, with its personal touch, was absolutely delicious. we couldn't ask for more!

No safe in the room.

nice people, clean, close to Melville. FREE PICK UP from airport train. They were great people!

The rooms at the guest house were well-appointed and comfortable, with nice amenities such as snacks provided. The breakfast served was excellent, with a variety of options to choose from. The owners were very helpful and accommodating, offering transportation services and helpful recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions.

One aspect that I didn't particularly like was the carpet in the room, it seemed a bit outdated and not as clean as I would have liked. However, this was a minor issue compared to the overall experience.

The heated bed was just amazing! My bathroom in Ebony and Ivory room was always super clean. I felt relaxed the whole time. Its certainly home away from home. I will stay at Arum whenever am in the city. Will sspread the news!!! Breakfast was always fresh and timely.

There was nothing not to like!! The dogs scared me a bit when I just came in....they turned out to be very harmless.

Mind-blowing hosts who go the extra mile; amazing breakfast; beautiful rooms with free drinks and coffee; superb location with plenty of restaurants nearby. We'll be back!

During our stay at Arum Place Guest House, we were amazed by the exceptional service provided by the owner. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The breakfast choices were delicious and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We also felt very safe and secure within the guesthouse compound. we had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel for a memorable stay.

We had a lovely stay in a safe and pleasant neighborhood with comfortable rooms. Although few restaurants were within walking distance, a quick taxi ride to the city center provided lots of dining options. The owners went above and beyond with arranging airport transportation, recommending local attractions, and making delicious breakfasts. We also appreciated having our own entrance and garage.

The hotel was located quite far from some popular areas of the city, which required a taxi or car for transportation.

Just book it! It is an amazing place to stay. The owners are the best. The rooms are big and really comfortable, so as the bathroom.
