It was nice to have the space at Villa Moyal, but with everything around you surrounded by high fences, razor & electric wire, I was not excited to walk at night. I would have rather stayed a few blocks away, closer to the restaurants and shops of Melrose Arch.

Impressive stay!

This place is even better than the reviews give it credit for. It's modern, spacious, and the customer service is attentive. It has a pool, and although it does not have a gym, there's a really wonderful park with running trails next door. On top of that, it's quite literally steps away from Melrose Arch, close enough to food and attractions, but far enough to be quiet at night. I've stayed in many different places in the city, and this may be my new go-to place to stay in Joburg!

Great wee spot!

Great quiet location, with all the facilities you need in an apartment, withing really close walking (safe) distance to the shops/restaurants of Melrose Arch. Next time in JHB (for cricket at The Wanderers), I will be staying at Villa Moyal again. Thank-you

Boa relação custo-benefício

Desde o checkin até o momento de nossa saída fomos muito bem atendidos. Um especial agradecimento para o Sr. Banda que sempre se mostrou atencioso e solícito o tempo todo. O apartamento é ótimo, espaçoso, bem cuidado, bem equipado, muito limpo, confortável, localizado a meia quadra da entrada do Melrose Arch, um conjunto de lojas diversas, restaurantes e hoteis. É seguro ir a pé até lá, desde que não seja à noite. Isso é algo extremamente importante em uma cidade que tem um alto índice de violência urbana, principalmente contra estrangeiros. Os únicos pontos que achei incomuns na hospedagem: no ato do checkin, além do bloqueio que se faz do depósito do seguro, o atendente faz uma cópia do cartão de crédito (frente e verso), algo que eu nunca havia visto em lugar algum por onde já tenha ido. Coincidentemente ou não, o meu cartão foi clonado na África do Sul. Por sorte, acompanho a fatura no app e não tive maiores problemas para contestar a compra. Só que tive de bloquear o cartão. É bom ficar atento a essa situação. O outro ponto incomum é que, apesar de o café da manhã estar incluído na tarifa que escolhi, ao solicitar um capuccino, ele foi cobrado à parte. Também nunca havia visto algo assim em uma hospedagem dessa categoria. Enfim, são as regras deles, mas tanto isso quanto o fato de tirarem cópia do cartão de crédito do cliente no ato do ckin deveriam constar do anúncio deles no site do Hoteis.com para que o cliente não seja pego de surpresa como nós fomos.

Lovely place in excellent location

Very lovely place just near Melrose Arch shopping and dining area, close by to Sandton and Rosebank. Very nice stuff that addressed all our requests including late check-out. The kitchen equipment a bit missing however we got what was needed upon request. The place is very quiet and very well managed.

Perfect place and location

We were visiting Joburg (and South Africa) for the first time and were planning to come for events for Johannesburg Pride in Melrose Arch. Villa Moyal is across the street from Melrose Arch which is filled with wonderful restaurants and activities. Also wonderful was the included breakfast delivered to the room each morning. They let us check into the room very early as well. Would love to stay there again!

Across Road from Melrose Arch

I have stayed here a few times. Staff are very pleasant and will help if they can. Apartments are well appointed, good beds and clean. Location is circa 100m from Melrose Arch and is in a nice suburb of Jburg. I recommend to anyone that is looking for a place that is larger than a hotel room for similar rates.

Stunning

I was expecting a room in a private villa... little I knew I had a whole apartment, which was incredible, massive lounge, kitchen/diner, bedroom and bathroom. Brand new and excellent breakfast delivered to your room. The only issue I found with it is that I expected it to be inside the Melrose Arch complex and not on the main road just outside it.... without a driver in the evening, I didn't want to explore on foot. But apart from that, just awesome!
