Selected Motel Mi Pi Chi for its captivating architectural details during my visit to Johannesburg for a wedding, and I wasn't disappointed. The highlight was undoubtedly the courtyard bathroom, adding a delightful indoor-outdoor ambiance to the space. The room itself was comfortable, and I particularly appreciated the welcoming and attentive service provided by Thuli and Tyson. Positioned conveniently at the lower end of 4th avenue, the motel offers easy access to supermarkets and is within a reasonable distance from the vibrant array of cafes, pubs, and restaurants along 7th avenue. The atmosphere during the day was inviting and pleasant, contributing to an enjoyable stay.
Regrettably, my weekend booking coincided with lively guests at the motel, resulting in disrupted sleep due to thin walls and inadequate insulation. Additionally, I encountered challenges with accessing sockets in my room, requiring me to prioritize charging my devices by unplugging either the microwave or TV. Furthermore, the bedding, including the sheets and duvet covers, showed signs of staining and wear, indicating a need for fresher, higher-quality linens.

Liked the fact that the area is too tight when comes to security
I was very disappointed when I arrived at the hotel they told me that they gave my room to certain people which are white couple and mind due I've already booked the room one month before my arrival! They even contact me asking me to pay deposit and I did just that but when I arrived at the hotel they say we have given ur room to certain people and I couldn't understand why then call me to pay deposit to secure the apartment ? Wht hurt me most is I booked that space month before now they telling me that me and the other couple we double booked the room and deep down I knew that is not possible cos m used to book at booking.com and I've never experienced such thing.
Fortunately I told them that if I don't get wht m booked for they must refund back my money cos I can not take what I did not buy or book .
The living room did not have TV the kitchen did not HV cloth, sunlight liquid nor did they have cooking pots we only got one small pot and 4cups imagine been family of 7 and sharing 4 cups.
In a scale of 10/10 from my side they deserve 1/10

Endroit atypique avec des chambres épurées, confortables et charmantes et des salles de bain incroyables, ouvertes sur l’extérieur. Virginia est très aimable et de bons conseils. Le quartier de Melville, un peu à l’extérieur du centre, est un endroit agréable où séjourner, tranquille entre rues résidentielles et carrefour animé avec des restaurants et bars sympathiques !

Ruime en mooie kamer. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Fijne wijk in Joburg met lekkere restaurantjes op loopafstand.

Prachtige ruime kamer met een heerlijke badkamer erbij. Moderne inrichting van alle gemakken voorzien! Heerlijk geslapen en het personeel is super behulpzaam. Accomodaties is goed beveiligd met poorten en zelfs een night- Watch (die zelfs met ons meeliep naar en terug van het restaurant, Thank you Tyson!) we hadden een kort verblijf maar we zouden er zeker langer willen blijven. Ontbijt wordt uitbesteed aan een restaurant aan de overkant van de straat maar dat was heerlijk! Thank you!
Niks, heel lief vriendelijk personeel.

everything was lovely, amazing room and staff!
no outlet next to the bed, that’s really the only thing I can come up with

The bathroom design was exceptional. They provided a room with a desk and a chair which I needed as this was a trip for academic purposes.
The wifi was not available for most days due to cable theft, it was only available on the last day.

bathroom
no water in the room for guests to drink

Rooms are beautifully decorated, very big and comfortable e with a charming common area. The bigger and comfier bed I slept in South Africa. I also appreciated the many backup lights, very helpful during frequent load shedding, but the big issue was water. No running water in the room most of the time is not acceptable for what I paid.
This is my only accommodation experience in Johannesburg but I didn't meet so many issues with load shedding in my entire journey. I'm aware of the lacking water and electricity supplies that affect all the country, but even in the most secluded homestay I had running water guaranteed 24/7, most of the times even hot water. Here instead water runs only a few hours in the morning and the alternative to have a shower is the gym across the street, same property but with a generator. This is a real shame given the refined aesthetics of the accommodation.

Nice ambiance and friendly helpfully staff. Safe parking.
Unfortunately the water in the shower in the room was not working. We could however use a shower in another building.

Virginia & Tyson are friendly and helpful. Room comfortable and the whole premises tastefully designed. I felt completely at home and an easy walk to Melville's bars and also the shops at Campus Square. Highly recommended!
4.3
The staff were very nice and didn’t waste time to solve any issues experienced during my stay. I also like the fact that they have a mini bar where I can get drinks and water without having to go to the mall
It is quite difficult to know the exact entrance to the building.
4.3
I loved the aesthetics
The bathroom is beautiful
loved the concrete feel and look
The rooms are not separate from the main house
which means there’s really not much privacy as the walls are thin
Under the summary it was stated that breakfast would be available however this wasn’t the case
4.3
Beautiful and amazing room design and setup. I’m a nerd so I’m favorite part of the stay was the desk. Perfect lighting and good space
