Rooms are big, clean and well decorated. Each room has a table and chair with mini-fridge and tea kettle. Location is excellent with several good restaurants, outdoor cafes, and bars on the same block. Internet is strong. Staff is wonderful- friendly and helpful. Transport to and from airport is reliable and personable. Nice to be greeted by Mike after a... more

A great first port of call on our first trip to South Africa. I'm pleased that we chose Melville as a base - the area was great for bars and restaurants (steak at the Melville Grill is brilliant by the way) and the guest house is right at the centre of it all. Very security conscious as everywhere in Jo'burg... more

After spending a week in Cape Town at the lovely Rutland Lodge (I highly recommend it!!), then spending several nights at a few properties for safari, I was midly disappointed by The Space. Pros 1. Good location for nightlife and several good restaurants including Soi and The Melville Grill. Also walking distance to stores and pharmacy. 2. Clean room, comfortable... more

The guest house is located at the end of a several block strip of bars and restaurants. We had no concerns about safety in the area - there was a security guard outside the guest house, and the strip was busy with people. The restaurants and bars are trendy and very reasonably priced. The guest house is very good value.... more

Located on the edge of trendy 7th Street, the Space Guest House is an understated walled compound, focused internally on its beautifully maintained landscaped modern courtyard. I stayed twice here, both on my way in and out of Johannesburg. Rooms are furnished in a contemporary retro 40’s Hollywood glam style- not over the top, but one room did verge on... more

I booked 3 nights for superior suite #1, the 1st 2 nights upon arrival in Jo'Berg and the 3rd night upon return from Cape Town, with a week "sandwiched" in between. Suite #1 was a super roomy, beautiful accommodation which more than lived up to my expectations. However, upon return from Cape Town I was dismayed to learn that I'd... more

This is a great place to stay in Melville, we had a suite which was self contained, great bathroom and nicely furnished rooms with outside area. The staff were helpful. The location is perfect - on the main street in Melville which has lots of good bars and restaurants and is safe to walk around. I would highly recommend it. more

This place is wonderful! In a great location, and the manager is bend over backwards accomodating! Would love to stay here again! more

Great place to stay, large and clean with very good security and location. Near restaurants and bars (just up the road) but far enough to be away from the noise! Warning - ensure that you have your own cell phone since there are none in the rooms nor any public phones nearby. Other than that, good value and very comfortable... more
