Jojo TLV

We had a very good experience staying at the JoJo. Great location, comfortable rooms and very accommodating hosts. There is a shared kitchen and lounge with all amenities such as water, ice, coffe or sofas with tv and netflix. JoJo also have an outdoor lounge with smoking area. We were fully satisfied and I will definetly visit again.

Well, I’m back again. Just love this place. It is so homey, and the bed and shower are really good. The shower has room for two with a rain shower overhead and a handheld wand. They are independent of each other with as much pressure and heat as you can stand. Just amazing when you wash off your day and climb into a solid comfortable bed with plenty of first-class pillows. Becoming my home away from home with everything outside the door, and a great host, Efi…always available and offering coffee. Meeting nice travelers also.

This is the perfect cool spot. I stayed in many places in Tel Aviv, I’ve been returning to the Jojo TLV for good reasons. The manager, Efi is a fantastic host who is always available and attentive to your stay. The facility is very homey, with equipment and several coffee options. When you arrive, look in the drawers and fridge; the kitchen is yours. The location is a short walk from the tourist beach and expensive rooms and right on the fringe of the residents with the grocery, restaurants, flea markets, and newly opened light train line right at your doorstep.

Firstly, Jojo’s is quite tricky to find. It’s in a shonky neighbourhood and has a very small sign on the door. You’ll need a map! The styling of the rooms is really the best feature… distressed walls, post modern, glass walled bathrooms, plenty of space and all the necessary amenities. The issue is the ‘self check in’ and all the communication by text message. If you’re not tech savvy, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s also strange that despite all the ‘diy’ elements there are often staff there anyway, so it seems strange to be using text messages when you could just talk to people. Not an experience I’d choose to repeat.

We would highly recommend this hotel. It was clean and comfortable. Its a nice walk to the beach and there are a few restaurants close by. Overall, a good experience staying here.

Stayed for one night and had great experience. Very convenient location. The room is clean. The bed is surprisingly comfortable. The shower is small but modern and clean with perfect water. The manager is not onsite after hours, but responds messages instantly and help as much as he can.

We stayed here for a few nights recently. The hotel is small and 4 of the rooms are off the communal area. We stsyed in one of the other front facing rooms. The rooms are decorated in a quirky way with exposed plaster and pipes. Our room was spacious and there was plenty of hot water. The bed was comfortable. Like lots of hotels now the room was accessed by keypad and communication was via WhatsApp. Effie the manager was on hand most of the time and was very helpfull. The cute communal area was great. Free tea and coffee and a large fridge to keep food. Also there is a little outseide terrace. Jojo is near jaffa old town and Florentine ane there are plenty of places to eat. The only downside was the traffic noise but Tel Aviv is a very noisy place with drivers feeling the need to constantly use their car horns.

Jojo was the perfect hotel for our trip to Tel Aviv. Efi was friendly and helpful and made us feel at home. The rooms were spacious and clean and it is conveniently located close to the besch, restaurants and shops.

So disappointed. This sounded like a lovely little place for a two night stay in Jaffa with my 19 year old daughter. Sadly, it wasn’t at all as it was sold and I had to take refuge elsewhere on the second night when the walls of my room were literally shaking from the noise of a party in a bar downstairs. To their credit, the management have refunded the cost of the second night in full but have refused to engage on the issues on our first night. I had booked a room with a sofa bed so that my daughter and I would have somewhere comfortable to stay with two separate beds. The room is presented on the website as being suitable for couples or small families, described as ‘superior’ with a ‘balcony’ - no mention that the ‘balcony’ is over bar with a super loud sound system. We arrived late on day one - there were no staff on site to assist. There was one queen size bed and a sofa bed as described but said sofa bed was something of a complicated puzzle that took us around 20 mins to unfold. When we did manage to work it out, there were no sheets for the sofa bed or pillows, just a duvet and a ripped duvet cover. There was no one available to ask and so, whilst my daughter slept in the bed, I tried to sleep on the sofa bed without proper bedding. If I was a student staying in a hostel, I wouldn’t have minded but this wasn’t billed as a hostel and it’s a very long time since I was a student! My daughter was keen to use the shower (fair enough I thought), but even with the shower door closed, the flooding was pretty bad and we had nothing to wipe the water away and still no member of staff in the vicinity to ask for help. The result, a night spent with a water logged bathroom, leaking into the bedroom. Picture sleeping at the bottom of Niagara Falls! (ok maybe not quite that bad). Trying to use the facilities in the dark overnight without waking each other up/ slipping and breaking our necks was a challenge I hadn’t prepared for! When we left the hotel to go out for the day the next morning, I expected the room would be cleaned and the wet towels on the bathroom floor that we had used to try to soak up the flood replaced. They weren’t and there was no sign that the room had been touched at all in our absence. That, the vibrating bedroom, and the (quite sweet) hotel manager who took around 40 mins to get to the hotel at 1030pm and so much more, was enough for me to cut my losses, pack my bag and find a hotel bedroom with sheets, pillows, staff to ask question to, and the all important peace and quiet I craved elsewhere.
