MoJo Hotel is a very reasonably priced hotel
In the heart of Sea Point directly above the Mo Jo Market which is an awesome dining venue with many great dining options and fantastic live music … in my opinion a must visit …
We even had a room with great view over the sea point pools and ocean ….
The room was a very nice size offered self catering option, was clean and had a nice bathroom area.
They also have off street onsite parking which is a big win
However the down side of this property, possibly explains why it is so reasonably priced ….
1. Very noisy, the neighbours were very loud and noisy 24/7 at both sides and this was made worse by the fact that we shared a balcony separated by only a screen. Despite the music from below going on til quite late it was nowhere near as bad as the noise from the neighbours
2. The aircon was placed high on the ceiling and never worked properly and with load shedding the room was very hot and sleeping became tricky, in fact the upstairs room was almost a bit too hot to sleep in
3. Smoking is allowed on balconies and the cigarette and other smoke was regularly wafting into our room making it quite unpleasant and we were unable to leave the patio door and windows open to get any fresh air
4. Our TV didn’t work and no one bothered coming to fix it
5.. The lift is a pain and very slow, there is only one lift and service staff from all over are constantly using it.
6. The property has no pool or other facilities, but is above the wonderful MO JO market
I would definitely recommend it for young carefree travellers and suggest that older travelers look for a quieter alternative
