Sitting on the roof terrace surrounded by persian rugs, old battered chairs, a fountain and various plants, we cooked a pasta dish, cracked open a bottle of red and watched the sunset over Tel Aviv as the local mosque called the faithful to prayer. It was 2009 but could have been 1912, 1948 or 1978, the interior of the hotel... more

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 night at the start of our first trip this wonderful country and we loved it. The staff... more

This hostel is variously described as either 'quaint and charming' or 'dirty and in need of repairs'. It's both. Stay here if you're a budget backpacker that likes sleeping on the roof, it's cool enough for that. Don't pay for a room. Location: Excellent. Heart of the old market. Walk outside to the best part of Tel Aviv (in my... more

We stayed at this hostel on a recommendation from a friend. The first night we were in a room without a window that could open, the sheets were not clean and after an uncomfortable night woke up to discover cockroaches crawling over us! Another person staying there reported that he also had bed bugs! We asked to move and were... more

If you want to save some money during your stay in Tel-Aviv and try something a little different, you must stay at this hostel. I booked a private room for 5 nights and was very pleased. It is important to remind yourself that this is not a hotel - it is a hostel. There are travelers moving in and out... more

I contacted the hostel a number of months in advance of my stay. They emailed a quote to me, and I accepted on that basis. When I came to pay, they told me a price that was significantly higher. I showed them the original email and they said that the person who sent it no longer worked with them, and... more

I stayed here for two nights in January in two different rooms. The first night I was in a room with a low ceiling but which had a simple furnishings and a little bathroom but everything we needed, including enough heat (not necessarily so easy to find in the middle east in January!). The second night I stayed in a... more

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 at the night market. My parents stayed in one of the A/C rooms, which was much smaller and not... more
