    During my recent stay at Melville Gap Guesthouse, I was delighted with the quiet street it is located on. The peaceful surroundings ensured a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Additionally, the guest house has been recently renovated, providing a fresh and modern atmosphere. The friendly and welcoming staff made me feel right at home, and their willingness to accommodate my requests was much appreciated. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering a wide variety of fresh and cooked foods to choose from. I highly recommend Melville Gap Guesthouse for a memorable and comfortable stay.

    It was nice, comfortable and not so expensive

    At 02:00 some people arrived and was making a lot of noise in the living room, our room was right next to the living room.

    Johan is a great host. He was helpful and often went out of his way to help make our stay more pleasant. I travel frequently and this is the best hotel experience I have ever had as to the staff of the hotel. This is my home away from home in South Africa!

    The staff was very friendly and welcoming, providing us with some useful information about the city. the room was spacious and cozy, offering a nice view of the garden. the location was convenient, close to some shops and restaurants. We also enjoyed the free Wi-Fi, which was fast and reliable.

    Our experience was not great during the holiday season. There was no special decoration or festive atmosphere, which was a letdown for us.

    This hotel was simply amazing! Not only was it conveniently located close to shops and restaurants, but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The cleanliness was outstanding, and the breakfast was delicious. Additionally, the hotel facilities were top-notch, and the transportation was easily accessible.

    I had an amazing stay at a recently renovated guesthouse. the location was great, close to several food outlets and also bars and restaurants. the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. the guest rooms were comfortable and clean, with modern facilities and a cozy atmosphere. Breakfast was great with a good choice of fresh and cooked foods. I particularly enjoyed the array of teas and coffee in the lobby.

    The stairs were a bit steep and could be difficult for some people.

    The staff were friendly and welcoming, always ready to offer help. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, which made sleeping easy. It was also great to have access to free Wi-Fi and a nice view from the window.

    Sadly, the breakfast was nothing to write home about. The food options were limited, and the quality was not up to standard. Also, the location was quite far from the major attractions in town, which made it difficult to get around.
