“Very poor, will never go back”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Being a three star hotel in Israel, one can't expect much. However, it was a real disapointment in many instances. The window in the room was held in place with duck tape, as was the door to the closet. The toilet stopped working without explanation. There was no coffee or tea in the room. The breakfast was poor, we were served cold cooked mushrooms. We needed to leave early to catch transport, but they refused to open the dining room a bit earlier for us, resulting in us needing to wolf down our food. The first receptionist who dealt with us was pleasant when we arrived, but the one I dealt with when I checked out was appalling, with a surly attitude who refused to apologise after I explained my disappointment, then refused to give me his name when I asked for it to report him to his manager. Granted, when I spoke to the General manager she was most apologetic, but really, I won't be coming back to this establishment. I also think it is overpriced for what you get.

“Basic hotel near the promenade”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Pros: convenient location in the city center near the promenade and the beach, helpful staff, moderately priced.
Cons: as every other hotel in Israel, our room was not very clean; terrible breakfast.

“Not bad at all”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hotel is simple, but enough for tourists who want to see Israel and not spend much time in the room. Room is quite spacious, individual a/c, free Wi-fi. I expected more from breakfast: it could be more varied. Location is very good: close to the beach and central streets. Staff is very good. I will recommend this hotel and definitely stay there again.

“A better bed would have resulted in a much better rating!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Only spend a few hours in my hotel room, as I only arrived @ 3am. the service was friendly, the place clean, the room more than sufficient for what I needed. However, the quality of bed was exceptionally poor, and it felt like I was falling through the matress. A good value for money hotel, if they replace their beds!

“First time in Tel Aviv”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

Nice little hotel located right on the beach. Really friendly helpful staff especially Patrick the Reception Manager who was so helpful when we booked a trip to Jerusalem and also after check out looking after our luggage. Breakfast was always good - didn't miss it once which is unusual for holiday. Missed having a swimming pool but it is a small hotel and the beach is really close and very nice. The only way the hotel could improve is to put a small fridge in the room. I'd return to the hotel but unlikely to go back to Israel due to the power mad airport security. A little common sense would make them realise that Israel is not the only country facing terrorists threats and that not everyone is a terrorist - some people might actually have just wanted a holiday. I wonder how many innocent tourists never go back because of the treatment at the airport.
