Terrible,we went to check in in the Evening,only for the guard to tell us that there was no electricity for the past 3 days...we had to book elsewhere and the owner Nicky promised to refund us
Contstant lies and excuses but no refund...
The room was clean however the safe did not work.
I did not feel as there was no visible security on site on the night that I stayed there.
The rooms are not sound proof. If you like the sound of passing traffic and the sounds of people fornicatting. I would suggest you pass then.
There was no back up electricity as there was load shedding (no electricity) at the time.
The breakfast selection was bland and the selection was minimal.
The hotel is a nice, stylish bed and breakfast located in a quiet residential area of Johannesburg. The name is really a misnomer. The staff was friendly and helpful, and even made me boiled eggs the evening before when I had to leave early for a safari. It’s a little out of the way though and you have to take Uber to get anywhere, but it’s definitely worth the price!
The room has period fittings, private mini garden and stylish stone-and-bricks bathroom. Very close to the hipster center of Melville bursting with restaurants and bars
This is our second time staying at Hotel Mi Pi Chi. It is such a little gem of a guesthouse offering all you need in a clean, safe and airy house. Will definitely recommend to friends and fellow travellers when in Melville.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY!!! Amenities are poor, and its not cleaned properly, bathroom facilities are outdated. The photos on the website are misleading, they photoshopped them, its way smaller in reality, and run down. With frequent load shedding in South Africa, management should have invested in a generator to ensure guests have electricity all the time.
I can thoroughly recommend staying at Mi pi chi , smiling friendly staff, comfy rooms with wi fi , satellite telly and endless hot water, located in a vibey area close to shops,restaurants, nightlife etc, all within walking distance
Great motel, in a very very safe area. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The room was very comfortable and the place is sparkling clean and the breakfast is fantastic! This is a home away from home and I will definitely be back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
A different type of accommodation. Large studio apartments, spacious and comfortable. Very interesting interior design and furnitures.
Wonderful staff!
A lovely place to stay, with friendly staff, good wifi, parking, clean and stylish bathrooms. A little noisy given the thin walls of the old house, but totally manageable.
