I picked this hostel because I needed a cheap place to stay in Eilat. The place is ok but don't expect anything more than what you pay for : you get a clean bed in a clean room, hot showers,and a place to rest. But there is not much going on, no real common room to socialize, and the hostel... More

It's typical: the male staff (usually with one exception) at an Israeli hostel act like complete and total pigs! You will be penalized for showing up and paying to stay here! You will be spied upon if you use the internet! You will be insulted by total idiots who don't realize that you can understand Hebrew! Low-paid work attracts unintelligent... More

This is a decent hostel situated very close to Eilat centre with friendly staff. The rooms are clean but cramped and shabby; and definitely in need of refurbishment. The bathrooms are clean and feel like they have been recently renovated. There's a small but poorly equipped kitchen for guests. The common area has free wi-fi. An annoying feature is that... More

The hostel was OK, very basic rooms and bathrooms. We were in two rooms with bunks and pretty much no windows but it was acceptable. Bathrooms were divided in rooms that resembled telephone booths and showers/sinks in other "telephone booths" LOL We got our Petra outing arranged with them and it was OK. We also got directions to the beach,... More

The young girl who was on reception when we arrived.. An then back on deck for breakfast the following morning, was just Amazing and wonderful... More

We stayed two nights at Hostel Arava. The prices were extremely reasonable (especially in the off season). The place was built almost exclusively by the army of brothers of the owning family, so there are some home-made eccentricities. The sink is also the shower... it's a bit hard to explain... you'll see. My only real complaint is that the room... More

The hostels offers beds in dorms (4 to 6 in one room) with shared bathrooms and a kitchens at your disposition or if you are ready to spend a bit more, you can get a regular hotel-like room with a mini fridge, your own bathroom and a TV. I tried both and its worth your money on each end. The... More
