The property is very eclectic. Well decorated and a lot of seating outside on the patio. Breakfast was very good. Margaret was very friendly and always smiling. Bed was very comfortable. She was very accommodating, letting us stay there with our luggage since we had a late flight. Highly recommend it!

The staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Comfortable Room. Melville shopping centre nearby about a 15 minute walk and area felt safe to me. Using uber is a good way to go to areas further out. Very much enjoyed the days tours organised by the guesthouse with tour guide Ephraim. I recommend 84th on 4th Guesthouse as a very nice place to stay in Johannesburg.

The breakfast was very nice. The staff were helpful and courteous. The room was clean but is in need of some maintenance. E.g. curtain rail falls off each time you move curtain; no inset door handle for bathroom (had to use finger nails to slide door), things like that. Bed and bedding old and needs replacing. No generator; electricity invertor only for wifi during loadshedding (not for heat).

The property is uniquely decorated, the family room is spectacular, but most of all, the staff was warm and attentive. When we arrived, l had caught my finger in the door of our car, and the receptionist who was going off duty, stayed with me until I felt better.

Melville has always been a wonderful safe, quiet but bustling neighborhood with plenty of great shops and restaurants. It has slid a little since COVID but I’m sure it will recover. Lots of closed businesses. Still friendly and quiet. The staff at 84 was wonderful. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. Really good breakfast. Very helpful and personable staff. A great place to stay.

Amazing stay in Johannesburg - HIGHLY recommended!
Amazing place in Melville. Very beautiful rooms in a lovely setting (can see the amount of thought given in the design of the house and character of rooms). Staff were very friendly and accommodating with delicious cooked breakfast in the morning. Just around the corner were hip restaurants (yoga studio down the road too) and

Nice room in an inner courtyard guest house, just a half block from a bustling area of small shops and cafes. Accommodating staff and good breakfast. Nice claw foot tub—perfect for a relaxing soak. Comfortable, cozy bed.

The room was hot because the fan was not enough to cool the room and make it comfortable. The towels and beddings need to be replaced with new ones. The sofa also, otherwise it was ok. Breakfast was good.

Loved the staff and the breakfast. We really needed air conditioning so weren't comfortable at night. There are no screens on the windows, if open. The facilities are a little more rustic than the pictures show online, but very clean and the roomwas large as well as the private bathroom. Nice hot water and comfortable bed in our room. Neat garden courtyard.

Cozy guesthouse in Melville
We had a wonderful stay at 84 on Fourth and would highly recommend it. The staff were friendly and efficient, the rooms were comfortable and well-decorated, and they even provided complimentary glasses of sherry during check-in! Melville, the local neighborhood, is safe and has many excellent restaurants and shops. Kudos to the staff for all the care and attention that they have put into this excellent guesthouse.

Amazing hotel with such a professional staff. The place is exceptionally clean, well decorated, and feels just like home. The breakfast is incredible and the hotel is located right next to a strip of restaurants and vibrant nightlife in the hip neighbourhood of Melville. I will definitely be back here.
