This is one of the best values in Tel Aviv. Staff is friendly, location is great, and the free breakfast is fantastic. Some of the best Shakshuka around!

Tel Aviv is a pricey city. All hotels we checked out were out of our price range. We were lucky to see Gordan Inn and got a decent room. Room was simple with TV filled with many US channels. (Was tired from watching only international news channels) Breakfast was so yummy with many eggs selections. Free wifi was provided in the dining area. Toilet is a bit old and not very clean. Free coffee and tea all day was good!

Two problems were noise from people hanging at the dinning area; and they close that area at midnight but that's the only place with wifi.

Overall, good backpacking hostel.

We booked 2 nights at this hostel through Hostelbookers for my teenage daughter travelling alone who would be arriving at 2.00am (she was in fact delayed until 5.00am) the website states it has 24hr reception. On arrival there was no access until after 9.00am and my daughter had to wait outside - not ideal! We sent 2 emails direct to the hostel to advise of early then delayed arrival. The hostel staff then charged her $90 for the 2 nights. A total scam!

Good location. Room was fairly clean, and there was plenty of space with a little refrigerator and a table with two chairs. Warm water in the shower, but like many of the showers in Israel they just can't seem to make one that doesn't get the entire floor wet and require a squeegee to clean it up.

We were permitted to leave our bags in a locked closet prior to check-in which was a big help. Staff members were rather abrasive, but efficient which was most important.

I was looking forward to the breakfast but disappointed to find out they were not serving until 8am. Since we needed to be up and out well before that we will never know how good that breakfast may have been.
