OK - so it's not run like a 5 star hotel, but that's not what this place sets itself up to be. What it has in spades is charm and atmosphere. My husband and I loved this hostel. We were there for one...

we stayed at Old Jaffa Hostel in June 2007. The building is a little worn but has some charm. We had a street facing room which was a little noisy but nice to sit on our balcony and watch the scene...
