Saffron Guest House

This is a lovely guest house at the bottom of a very trendy road in Melville. It's close enough to walk to the bustle of the street filled with restaurants, cafes and bars - but far enough to enjoy and tranquil stay. I love the decor in the rooms and the gardens make feel just like home. There a few new restaurants opening up as well, compared to the previous time I stayed there.

My stay was very pleasant, but there were a few inconveniences. The location is very quiet, perfect for any traveller: there is always a control person at the entrance willing to help if needed; only one advice: be careful with your personal belongings and don't leave them in the room (not even in your luggage which is properly closed and stored in a corner of the room)!!! On request there is the availability to arrange a transfer to/from the airport: very efficient, perhaps a little too expensive. The driver Matthew is very nice and kind; with him I also did a tour of Soweto and it was very nice, he is a wonderful person who loves the place where he lives: I recommend taking advantage of it if you have a half day free! The neighbourhood is also safe both day and night. The room is large and has all the necessary amenities: the bed is comfortable, the wardrobes are spacious, the bathroom is well organized (the hairdryer is missing). The breakfast included is served in a bar very close by and is very good, rich and with various choices; the staff is friendly and accommodates requests (one morning I had to leave early and, on request, they brought me breakfast the night before). I recommend it but be careful with your personal belongings!

we stayed at Saffron from the 25th to the 27th November 2022 . Staff and management were really helpful at all times, very clean and very secure. I really appreciated the solar light to cater for power cuts. They really assisted with requesting for Uber and Shuttle.

The stay was lovely, my organisation rented out 4 rooms over the weekend and everyone was very happy there. It's not the fist time we booked that and we will be sure to use Saffron again in the future.

We had to travel to Johannesburg for medical reasons and Saffron Guest House was recommended to us due to its proximity to the hospital. We were not disappointed. It was a clean and comfortable room with all that we needed. Emily was amazingly helpful and we could not have done all that we did without her assistance. Thank you Saffron Guest House.
