After spending a week in Cape Town at the lovely Rutland Lodge (I highly recommend it!!), then spending several nights at a few properties for safari, I was midly disappointed by The Space. Pros 1. Good location for nightlife and several good restaurants including Soi and The Melville Grill. Also walking distance to stores and pharmacy. 2. Clean room, comfortable... more

The guest house is located at the end of a several block strip of bars and restaurants. We had no concerns about safety in the area - there was a security guard outside the guest house, and the strip was busy with people. The restaurants and bars are trendy and very reasonably priced. The guest house is very good value.... more

Located on the edge of trendy 7th Street, the Space Guest House is an understated walled compound, focused internally on its beautifully maintained landscaped modern courtyard. I stayed twice here, both on my way in and out of Johannesburg. Rooms are furnished in a contemporary retro 40’s Hollywood glam style- not over the top, but one room did verge on... more

This is a great place to stay in Melville, we had a suite which was self contained, great bathroom and nicely furnished rooms with outside area. The staff were helpful. The location is perfect - on the main street in Melville which has lots of good bars and restaurants and is safe to walk around. I would highly recommend it. more

Great place to stay, large and clean with very good security and location. Near restaurants and bars (just up the road) but far enough to be away from the noise! Warning - ensure that you have your own cell phone since there are none in the rooms nor any public phones nearby. Other than that, good value and very comfortable... more
