Reviews of B&B on 8th Avenue

Denise was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. A great host.

Denise was a wonderful host. It was a pleasure to chat with her about this and that and she was so helpful with my daily trips. The house is situated in Mellville in a safe area. It is a lovely house with a small garden. The rooms are decorated beautifully and the bed was very comfortable. I had booked breakfast and was served a nice and fresh breakfast every morning. If I ever come back to Johannesburg I‘ll definitely stay there again.

The B&B was within walking distance of downtown Melville, which featured several nice restaurants and shops. The host offered a fine breakfast, including granola, toast, fresh fruit, juice, coffee and tea. In addition she cooked eggs, bacon, and sausages. The beds had electric blankets, in case the nights were chilly, which were much appreciated.

Actually, we had no complaints.

Greeted warmly and professionally. Helpful recommendations. Delicious, plentiful breakfasts made to order.

The location on its own is a 10/10. Quiet and safe neighbourhood, far from the busy CBD and loud bars.

I stayed at Denis' BnB on 8th Avenue for two nights—the final stop on my trip to Johannesburg—and I’m so glad I chose to stay there. Her BnB is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Even in winter, the space felt warm and cozy, especially with the electric blanket she provided. The garden is lovely and offers a sense of calm, even during the colder season. Denis, who is also a tour guide, is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. When I faced some difficulties with my tour, she generously shared her insights and experiences, which helped me navigate the situation smoothly. Her breakfast is not only delicious but also a wonderful opportunity to chat with her and other guests—it really adds to the homely atmosphere. Johannesburg can be a challenging city to explore as a tourist, but Denis' BnB provided a peaceful and welcoming retreat after long days out. The neighborhood is safe and pleasant to walk around, and I especially enjoyed morning strolls after breakfast. I highly recommend staying at Denis’ BnB to anyone visiting Jo'burg—it’s a warm, restful, and truly special place.

Denise's acommodation is really well prepared to receive any one who wants, as the title says, a cozy and warm place to be, specially if it's winter, like it was for me and my wife. The room has everything you need to not leave the room, if you wish - really really well equipped. The bath is really warm, it has a hitter at our disposal, and the bed even has it's own hitter, on both sides. The TV has netflix, the towels are good and fluffly, the sheets, the pillows, the banklets, everything of really good quality. On the outside of your room, you will find also a little table with two chairs and - for the smokers - an ashtray to call yours. As if all of this wasn't enough, you are allowed to use the kitchen and the common area (there is a fireplace in the living room) of the house, in which Denise leaves, on the top floor. Don't worry, though, you will have your privacy. To finalize, about the location: Melville is not that close to the center and Mandela Square, for example, but the house is really well located at Melville, being less than 5 minutes of walking distance from the neighbourhood's most cool restaurants and bars.

The only thing that could be better is the location, thinking of the whole city.

It was a lovely stay. My mum called it home away from home. It is just that. Nice and cozy, and homey.

This B&B exceeded my expectations. The host, Denise, is lovely. It is located in a quiet, safe, yet central neighbourhood. There's a beautiful garden. The matrasses are amazing and the rooms very clean. This place is suitable for a short trip, but could also work very well for a longer stay (few weeks, months) as you have your own fridge and could possibly use the kitchen. As a woman travelling alone I felt at safe and welcome here.

Nothing.

The property boasts a fantastic location, making it convenient for guests to access nearby attractions and dining options. Additionally, the host is exceptionally friendly, always ready to assist with any inquiries, provide helpful recommendations, and ensure a comfortable and pleasant stay.

Very quiet and serene area.

Nothing.

I would highly recommend staying at this BnB. The host, Denise, is a very helpful and welcoming lady. The rooms are clean, quiet, in a central and safe neighbourhood of joburg. The matrasses are very nice - I had a great rest! The bnb has a wonderful garden and generally good vibes, with many returning customers. It is great value for money and next time I would definitely return.

Nothing. The room was great!

The host was helpful, and the location was serene.

We enjoyed our stay, Denise was gracious to wait up for us, and she served us breakfast everyday, plus our beloved Coffee. The location is close to Rosebank mall and Gold Reef City.

It was a nice, comfortable place to stay. The breakfast was excellent. The host was very willing to address a request we had.

The room is quiet and the cleanliness is impeccable. In the morning, Denise makes breakfast with great care and gives you all the information you need to know about Johannesburg. I loved the hotel.

Nothing

Location was good. Central to the airport and FNB stadium/gold reef city. Very close to Rosebank.

The water was shut down because there was an issue with something/someone running the water. Was an inconvenience as we had somewhere to be that morning.
