"Good and recommended."

I was satisfied with stay.

"Best affordable accommodation like few."

For a long time, Picasso Guest House has held a special place in my heart. Ilse is always so helpful and friendly, plus it's always affordable and perfect for everything I need. Even if I have to drive far, I prefer to spend the night there instead!

Clean and cosy guesthouse. Near hospitals.

"Ideal for an overnight stay and short visit."

Everything needed was there, the beds comfortable and definitely value for money.

Great place. Nice quiet. A few spots need some work. Porch wood starts to rot. Garden table outside starting to rust. Other than that, great place. Will stay there again.

Very well received and stayed, and really value for money. Everything you need is there.

"Very clean and tidy."

Very safe, neat and clean.

"Thank you very much for the beautiful place to stay and for the friendliness."

The owners are very nice people, and made us feel very welcome.

"We had a very nice stay."

We were very kindly received by Ilse. There was good communication with all the load shedding. Also went out of their way to help us where needed. Can really recommend Picasso Guest House.

"Very comfortable nice place in a good area."

Had a great time calling. Ilse is a very good and friendly hostess and would recommend her anytime.

"Cute little place."

There was power in the residence even though there was loadshedding. That's a big bonus. Parking somewhat of a problem if you have guests.

"Affordable, so basically."

We rented both the Cottage and the Den for 3 nights. My three adult children shared the cottage and my wife and I the Den. The rooms are very basic, but adequate for a short visit. There are a lot of "nooks and crannies" which my wife and daughters liked, but it's not really my taste now. The Den is at the back of the yard. The extension was clearly done on a small budget and therefore the separation with the house is not always so clear. For example, there is a window with an exterior blind that is in the area in front of the shower and the shower has a window into the house, but the glass has been replaced with a mirror. It didn't bother us, but I can imagine that some people might not feel that comfortable with it. The shower has strong and hot water and it's exceptionally spacious - all I'm really looking for. In the room, the roof is very low on one side and therefore slightly uncomfortable for a tall person. There is a fridge, microwave and sink with cutlery, more than sufficient for a short stay. Parking was not a problem for us, as we were there with one vehicle and the owners' vehicle was not on the premises on nights 2 and 3, but if there were three vehicles on the lot it would have been a bit of a joke. Visitors should be aware of the following: 1. The path to the Den is inconvenient. There is a sawn tree which makes it difficult especially for someone like me who has knee problems. 2. In the units there is no place to eat inside, and the Den does not have proper seating outside. Luckily we had great weather and the use of the Cottage's deck. 3. The light switch in the cottage is upstairs, without an option to turn it off downstairs. When we left in the early hours of the morning, we just had to keep the light on. 4. The storage and hanging space in the cottage, given that up to four people can stay, is completely inadequate. At least there was a place to hang out in the Den. 5. The units are on a second erf in a panstile, and therefore somewhat awkward to get in and out of. On a positive note: 1. Ilse and Arrie are very nice and helpful. They made us feel welcome and comfortable, and immediately addressed the one or two small problems that were there. 2. There is a shopping center just down the street, easy to just walk (5 minutes). 3. The area is very peaceful and the garden makes you forget that you are actually in a very small space. 4. The accommodation is excellent value for money. If you are looking for 5-star accommodation then this is not for you, but you will have to pay 3 times as much too! If we have the need to stay in the area again for a day or three, I will definitely consider the accommodation again.

"Small but adequate room with a double bed, shower, toilet and safe covered parking. Excellent hosts."

Ilse and Attie are great hosts. They made me feel right at home. They swapped the small fridge for a larger one and Ilse sent me a Whatsapp of the loadshedding schedule every day. They have a solar geyser and an inverter, so most of the time there was power. Great aforethought! Thank you!

"Very good value for money and excellent reception from owners."

Well furnished with all the necessary.

"It was very pleasant. The owners are very friendly. Good value for money, neat and clean."

It was very nice of the owner to allow me to check in before the normal time. The place was as advertised at a very reasonable rate. It was clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to use Picasso Guest House again. Thank you.

"A nice break away from home."

Very friendly, helpful and hospitable. Away from everything and everyone. Will make a visit there again.

"Comfort, ease and hospitality."

Thank you very much for your kindness and lovely, tidy stay. It was not just another overnight stay, but a pleasure.

"Safe."

The guest owner Isle, very warmly welcomed me making me instantly love my stay.

"The room was comfortable and the location was good. The owner was also very friendly and helpful."

It is a bit difficult to find the entrance though, as it is a pipe-stealing yard.

"Neat and basic. Perfect for my needs."

See stars.

"Very impractical and inconvenient."

Difficult entry and exit, very limited space. Gate must be opened by yourself, impractical for older people. Dangerous wall plug against stairs. 1 Chair for 4 guests. 1 Broken office chair by small table in upper room. No place where you can sit and eat together indoors. The lower room's light must be switched on at the top of the stairs so when the light is off you have to go down the stairs in the dark. No toaster as confirmed by owner, kettle was fitted black. Most of the closets are locked. Only a small rail to hang clothes. Room is not completely sealed off from rest of the house, one does not feel private. Chairs and beds in lower room are old and not up to standard. We were very disappointed.

"Very nice environment."

Very close to Netcare Pretoria East Hospital. Very easy to get out of there. Room is big. Enjoyed the shower under a translucent roof. Just a pity it was cloudy then. Everything needed was there. Ilse and her husband made me feel at home. Generator switched on when it was load shedding. Will definitely stay there again.

"Very private with friendly people."

I wish everyone can book at Picasso, it was perfect staying there, I just loved the privacy.

""Cosy" and very private."

The Den was just what I was looking for, private while the location was perfect for a business trip. Hospitality was top notch! Thank you Ilse for the peaceful nights, I rested very well and completely forgot I was on business.

"Good overnight accommodation"

Ilse was very helpful and friendly. Will stay there again for sure.

"I was only looking for a bed for the evening and Ilse's room was perfect - to one side so I didn't bother anyone and very clean and safe. Had a great stay and will visit again."

Ilse was very friendly and helpful. WiFi was available so I could still work in the evening and slept soundly - nice hot shower!

"The room is very neat and extremely clean. Thank you very much."

Ilze and her husband are extremely hospitable, make you feel comfortable and go the extra mile with their guests by even finding out if you are safe at your destination. Very safe and enjoyable stay and I can confidently recommend. Value for the amount.

"Deliciously relaxing."

Quiet environment, enough space.

"It's nice."

It's a bit noisy from the traffic.

"Tranquil."

The owner of the place is very welcoming, the safety is amazing as the place is in a great location. The furniture needs to be updated, otherwise everything is great.

"Picasso was my place of residence during my 3-day training."

I attended a reading course for 3 days in Moreleta Park. Picasso was very conveniently located within 1.1 km and so I reached my venue within a few minutes every morning. The apartment was easy to reach (I went by plane and rented a car). It is very safe and the welcome by Ilse and her husband was wonderful! They are lovely people and treated me like real family. I would love to go back there any time and can also recommend it with the utmost confidence to anyone looking for a rest place/accommodation in Pretoria. Thanks for 3 days that should have been 3 weeks!

"Value and location great."

My room (no. 1) had a lot of traffic noise.

"Excellent value, nice cosy spot with a nice shower, beds were clean and comfy, could do with WiFi."

WiFi would be nice as well as ice cubes in the fridge/freezer, otherwise a super spot.

Good, affordable accommodation very close to Pretoria East Hospital.

"Perfect for a quick getaway, very comfortable."

Thank you very much, from us here in the Cape.

"Value for money and friendliness. "

"Disappointing."

The accommodation is in a back yard. The whole feeling you get when you enter the premises is one of disappointment. There are cars parked everywhere and it feels like you're sharing the property with the occupants of the home. The property is not big, so the cars occupy a lot of space. A walkway leads around the house to the room and looks untidy and not maintained. The furniture in the room are old and make the place look untidy. Merely an unkempt attachment to the main house.

"Had a nice stay. "

See star-grading

"Very nice!"

We had a lovely stay!

"Top notch hospitality!"

We were pleasantly surprised by the great hospitality of the owners ... they went out of their way and asked us if we were OK and everything was clean, tidy, and very safe. Great value for money.

"Friendly reception, clean facilities. Nice stay."

Host and hostess very friendly. Facilities are clean and neat. Safety door needs attention.

"Convenient!"

People very friendly and close to Morelata Church!
