    We enjoyed being here. Our superior king room was spotless, budget. The breakfast was excellant with cream de la cream and the bakery, as example, worth the price. The location of the property was good and excellent, to restuarants. Besides, it was near to great restaurants, coffee shops, and a fabulous book store as well as coffee shops around the corner...

    Review for Saffron Guest House

    The room was modern and romantic, complete with coffee and a kettle for convenience. the beds featured comfortable electric blankets for a cozy stay. the guest house is centrally located, making it easy to explore the local bars, cafes, and restaurants in Johannesburg and Melville. the Melville district is definitely a great place to stay.

    The spacious cottages at Saffron Guest House were beautifully decorated and felt cozy. I loved how the bedroom was separated from the living room by a glass sliding door, giving it a bright and airy feel. As someone who loves being in touch with nature, this set-up made me feel closer to the outdoors.

    Personally, I found that the glass sliding door separating the bedroom from the living room let in a bit too much light in the morning, which disturbed my sleep. However, I can see how others might enjoy the natural light streaming in.

    We had an amazing stay here! The hotel is located in a great vibey area with awesome restaurants around. It's in a perfect area that feels safe and quiet. The staff, including the very able and pleasant manager, provided excellent service car hire, dry cleaning, housekeeping. The room was spacious and had all the amenities we needed, including ironing facilities, heating, air conditioning, and tea and coffee facilities. We also enjoyed the sitting area and terrace. The hotel had great facilities like a garden area and entertainment. We were impressed with the free toiletries and the electric blankets on the comfortable beds. The television and am/fm alarm clock were nice touches. this place offers a luxurious and comfortable stay with great services and amenities.

    The staff didn't show great hospitality. Despite this, we would highly recommend this venue to families.

    Excellent value for money. The comfortable stay at Saffron Guest House was worth every penny. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. We also had the pleasure of being guided around the city by the wonderful Matthew, who was not only a great tour guide but also a genuinely nice person. The location of the guest house was ideal, with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. I highly recommend this hotel for its affordability and quality.
