Detailed Reviews
We were met by Veldeen on arrival, who was extremely kind and helpful the 2 nights we spent there. Everything you need is provided in the room and small kitchen area. Only negative point was the bedding had seen better days. Otherwise very good value for money and safe location.

All the way from Tanzania to South Africa, We spend eight nights here with family and l must say that everything was excellent. The location of the hotel is quite close to my destination as well as some business centers in the city, but it is excellent and surprisingly comfortable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others having a family trip .

Our two night stay was amazing. The bed was very comfortable, the whole apartment was excellent. The kitchen had all supplies needed for a self-catering stay. Margaret and the supervisor were super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect with East Gate shopping centre just a short ride away. We loved spending time with their pup Leo who was such a friendly and loving fella. I can definitely recommend Margaret's place to anyone thinking of visiting JHB.

I only stayed her for a couple of hours before having to head to the airport at 1am, but it was a cute spot located in a quiet Johannesburg neighborhood. The one thing that I wished that I would have known before arrival is that there would be a two-hour window where they wouldn't have power due to power load sharing in the city. This forced me to stay out and about longer than I wanted to and as a result I didn't get as much rest. Overall the room was quiet and clean, the bed was nice, and the staff was helpful.
