Pros:

Quiet and secure neighborhood. Walking distance to Melrose Arch. First stayed here in 2019, just after opening and l’m happy to see the high standards have been maintained over the years. Rooms are clean and the bed is comfy. Excellent customer service from the staff- special mention goes to Silindile at the restaurant. She went out of her way to ensure a comfortable experience. The Capital Melrose is definitely on my top five for places to stay in Joburg!
