We would not stay at any other hotel in Johannesburg. The hotel is magnificent and the staff are gold star level service. This was our second stay at the African pride Melrose, and we can’t wait to come back and join our African Pride family when we return to South Africa in a couple years time.
Friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms before and during stay. Hotel safety enhanced by gated community of Melrose Place.
Very nice and elegant style of decor and themes throughout rooms, lobby, and restaurants.
Lovely room, great secure area with lots of dining options!
