Good accommodation, neat and affordable.
There was a calculation error between the website and House of York. Care must be taken to ensure that quotations are correctly passed on to the customer.

Overnight accommodation during athletic event for schools.
We only stayed overnight and arrived late in the evening and left again early in the morning. Everything was clean and comfortable. I just would have liked information in advance about load shedding schedules in the area. We had barely arrived when darkness suddenly descended and it was pitch black in a strange place. Other accommodation bookings have sent the schedule for the day to their guests for convenience. I am also used to the fact that at previous accommodation there are at least coffee bags and sugar available for the number of guests. We didn't travel with coffee and sugar and had to scramble the next morning to find a place to buy coffee. We did make an assumption that there would be availability as this is the norm with most accommodation (even if it is self-catering). As rural people, we are not used to the city and the environment made us feel very unsafe. Apart from all this, the accommodation was neat and we slept peacefully. The rest of the communication had also been good.

Not too happy.
I, as a woman alone with 2 children, drove through from Bloemfontein. The area around the accommodation is run down, with a lot of people just sitting on corners or wandering around. This is a very unsafe area. When I arrived the man who opened the gate did not know who I was and that I had booked to stay there. We had to wait outside in the unsafe area until they called to see if I had booked a place. I was told that I could add breakfast for an extra amount, but when I arrived and wanted to add breakfast, I was told that they had not served breakfast for a long time. Parking is a big problem with very little parking. The staff are friendly when you could locate them. I was given a completely different room than I booked, without any communication. I was given a quote and later it was added that I now have to pay an extra R3 for a third person.

Hospitable reception in a fun accommodation. No central heating but a cozy fireplace against the winter cold in Johannesburg.

Awesome guest house with very helpful owner and staff.
Would definitely recommend this owner's guest house any day. Stayed at House on Hill last time and service was also excellent just like now. Very centrally located and very safe, clean and tidy.

Very clean and good service.
The fact that the Guest House is located in an older part of Kensington may not be ideal. However, it is very neat, clean, comfortable, safe and only 1 km from Eastgate Mall.

A bit small. Little things can be done better.
Lots of ants in the room. Curtains dirty and do not cover the entire window. Lock on the sliding door does not close well, can be easily opened. The morning of we were moved from the booked unit in House of York to the one in Bedforview. Was further from where we wanted to be.
