    Super social, great atmosphere, everything that a hostel should be. They offer to go out every night with the hostel at 11, host group breakfast and dinners. The workers are awesome, except the fun police late night on the roof (hate that guy) . But this is a place I'd highly recommend. I loved everything about it.

    (Translated by Google) If you travel alone to Tel Aviv and are looking for a fun, sociable connection, the Florentine Hostel is the right place for you! The staff on site are very helpful and you can get in touch with the other guests on the terrace very quickly. Every day after dinner at 8 p.m., after one or more well-kept rounds of drinking games, you can go to the afterlife of Tel Aviv. The rooms are for clean, only the bedding could be cleaned more often. Additional amenities include free WiFi, breakfast and towel service. (Original) Wer Alleine nach Tel Aviv reist und lustigen, geselligen Anschluss sucht, ist im Florentine Hostel genau richtig! Die Mitarbeiter vor Ort sind sehr hilfsbereit und man kommt sehr schnell in Kontakt mit den anderen Gästen auf der Terrasse. Jeden Tag nach dem Abendessen um 20 Uhr geht's nach einer oder mehreren gepflegten Runden Trinkspielen zusammen in das Nachleben von Tel Aviv. Die Zimmer sind für sauber, lediglich das Bettzeug könnte öfters gereinigt werden. Als weitere Annehmlichkeiten ist das kostenlose WLAN, Frühstück und Handtuchservice zu erwähnen.

    Personally loved this place to bits. Met lots of amazing people and had the time of my life. Although it is a party hostel and if you’re looking for a quiet ambiance, it might to be the best place to stay. Otherwise, the staff is super nice and the volunteers are the sweetest. And Florentine neighbourhood is close to everything, which was super convenient. 10-15 minutes to beach max. Love it :)

    Definitely a party hostel for sure. The showers/bathrooms are huge, the bedrooms are small and cranky but cozy enough with AC available. There’s no noise after 11 I think so you can sleep in if you want. Very social here. I enjoyed my stay. Good for solo backpackers/travelers looking for a festive stay and to meet people

  • 5/5 Kaylie R. 5 years ago on Google
    The staff here is superb! They really make you feel at home. Florentine is definitely a party hostel but doesn't get too loud or rowdy like other party hostels. The hostel is kept very clean and orderly by the number of volunteers. The rooms don't have keys but there is a code to get into the hostel so I felt very secure. They have a basic free breakfast (who doesn't love free?) and a nice dinner for your choice of tip. This was super handy, especially on the Sabbath. This was definitely the best hostel my friend and I stayed in in our 6-week trip. We made sure to come back after our stay in Jerusalem. Thank you Florentine!

    I really liked staying at this amazing hostel in the best neighborhood of Tel Aviv. Great staff, fun nights going out every night with the receptionists and volunteers staying there. The rooftop terrace is the greatest thing about this place, it's so easy to meet fellow travelers and. You feel at home right from the start. I've visited this hostel a few times now and will definitely come back in the Future!

    This is a good hostel choice if you need something cheap and not too inaccessible. It's a bit outside the main part of the city and might take a little longer to get to, but it is close to done restaurants. There are all sorts of accommodations here from individual rooms to sleeping in common areas. The individual rooms are what you would expect from a hostel and no frills, but at least some of the individual rooms have showers and provide towels. This place has AC, WiFi, and breakfast. The staff here is friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere at night is quiet and I especially like the book exchange that's present. All said, this is a good place to stay, especially if you need something affordable, but be forewarned that it is a bit out of the way.

    If you’re only searching for a simple place to crash, you’re definitely in the wrong place. Why? Because this hostel is the most awesome place you will find in Tel Aviv! You will keep staying another night until you question yourself: “is this my new home and family?” Well it kinda is, so looking forward to being around again ❤️

    Not great if you just want to sleep. Good if you want to party. Fairly gross sheets (brown and yellow stains) but clean. No lockers, nor are there any door locks, so you're going to have to have some faith in your fellow travelers. Small rooms but nice that they had AC. Very accommodating, but similarly so to hostels I've been to that also felt more clean, more comfortable, and more secure. If you want a good party experience then this place is likely quite worth it, but otherwise this place is mediocre.

  • 5/5 Erik Mohácsi (. 7 years ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The hostel is a great place for young travellers and tourists. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and are a great place to sleep. The big rooftop terrace is the common are of the hostel where people can chill, make new friends, or just enjoy their beers. In the evening the atmosphere is very lively, everyone is hanging out and just trying to have a good time.

    Our private room was very small and very loud because of the traffic outside. The host is nice and there is always something up in the evening. Good for party people I guess. Roomwise we got something much larger and quiter for the same price in another hostel

    This place is awesome. Run by genuinly nicest people ever! Perfect location, nice breakfast, clean rooms. Although it's a "party hostel" it was quiet in my room and I had no problem sleeping.

  • 5/5 N N. 4 years ago on Google
    Great, cheap, lively hostel. Full of nice people, awesome if you want to meet some. People go out to party almost every night and you can join them. 👌

  • 5/5 Sophia T. 4 years ago on Google
    As a solo traveller I have to say this place was perfect! I don't like big hostels, this one was very cozy and great vibe on the rooftop terrace. Community dinner every night for a small donation was a big plus for me, great way to meet people. After that share some beers and go out! Or be lazy and go to bed :) Staff was very helpful, they where there to answer every question. And one more amazing thing: all the meals are VEGAN!! Definitely recommended.

  • 3/5 Charlot C. 3 years ago on Google
    Hostel seemed to have a good ambience, was clean and organised. Staff were very helpful. Location is good for that area. My private double room was quite small but comfortable. Lacks a bit in character. Breakfast not very creative.

  • 5/5 Simon F. 4 years ago on Google
    Very friendly staff and very strong community. Probably best for 18-29 but older travelers will also feel welcome. The place is clean. People are helpful. There is a fragrance of kibbutzim. Would even consider spending a day or two there after renting an apartment in Tel Aviv just to see the community.

  • 5/5 Gruen L. 2 years ago on Google
    People here are so nice and friendly. Felt very welcome :) the prices are so cheap compared to hotels! Good location and the roof terrace is beautiful. Hopefully I’ll be back some day :)

  • 5/5 Angelika W. 4 years ago on Google
    Best Hostel I have ever stayed at! The location could not be better, only a 10 minute walk to the beach. The volunteers were so friendly and made sure to make everyone feel welcome and included. Shout out to Auria for going above and beyond, she made our stay even more special! Don't hesitate, book your stay right away! :)

  • 5/5 X X. 1 year ago on Google
    We absolutely loved this place, stayed twice and always recommend to people going to Tel Aviv. The people really make this place - its got such a social and kind vibe, and a killer rooftop and location. Really hope you're able to get back to business soon.

  • 1/5 Mara R. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a horrible vibe in this place.. Really unwelcoming... My friend and I were talking in the common area at around 11 to 11:30 pm and one female volunteer (arrogant and self centered) came over to tell us to speak low because her friend was trying to sleep in the couch. That was absolutely ridiculous. Stay at the rogers . Way better hostel than this. Florentine is only for teenagers

  • 5/5 Rafael De A. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Simply impeccable, the energy of this place breathes art, both those who work here and those who come. It is a place with incredible vibes, and it is not expensive for what it offers. It has good wifi connection, terrace, Paraguayan hammocks, dinner and breakfast, highly recommended.

    Such an awesome place. Good prices, bar crawls & club nights every day, free breakfast and donation-based dinner, good bathrooms that feel almost private, awesome vibe, I'll be back for sure!

  • 5/5 Elena 4 years ago on Google
    Great hostel vibes. Homey feel. Maybe would improve the cleanliness but other that that it’s great! Great for solo travelers

  • 5/5 Roarie Y. 6 years ago on Google
    Fun and friendly staff. This hostel has a very genuine vibe. The staff and volunteers are more than willing to accommodate guests, help provide information, a laugh, or an insight into their culture. You feel like you're being welcomed into a family.

  • 5/5 Владислав �. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Atmospheric place. Everyone is always fun. In the evenings, hike in the bar. The place is clearly youthful, do not expect peace here. Communication, fun, interesting people are the characteristics of this place! Prices are moderate, but there may be problems with places. (Original) Атмосферне місце. Всі завжди веселі. Вечорами похід в бар. Місце явно молодіжне, спокою тут не чекайте. Спілкування, веселощі, цікаві люди - ось характеристика цього місця! Ціни помірні, але можуть бути проблеми з місцями.

  • 5/5 Polo M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great hostel for solo travelers and to get acquainted with Israel. The neighborhood is a little sketchy (read: it's getting gentrified) and the door is not very visible, but it's there. Guy, one of the host, was amazing. He can give you help with anything you want in Israel, whether is restaurant suggestions, customs, and even some history. He's also the guide for the free daily pub crawls, so I highly recommend joining that. He also showed me my room and gave me suggestions. The breakfast was good, and the sofa/outside area was comfortable and sociable. There are a lot of amenities so check them out.

  • 3/5 אלעד �. 4 years ago on Google
    The location is very good in the edge of Florentine neighborhood and also close to Jaffa, but the rooms are not so comfortable. There is almost no free space in the room and also the bunk beds are in a bad condition. The hostel is currently under construction, so during the day there is crazy noise in the second floor and it makes it impossible to communicate or just relax on the rooftop. In the private rooms there are not enough electricity ports and they are located far from the bed. Additionally, because of the construction there are only 4 bathrooms and showers for the entire hostel. The receptionists are nice but some of them are kids who enjoy having power in their hands and sometimes they like to use it against guests just to show who's the boss. When I stayed there, one of the mangers shouted at some guys in the rooftop to be quiet when the music is on. HTH

    Hand down the best option to stay in Tel Aviv! Not only do you get free breakfast and a tip based dinner every night but the staff really makes you feel at home in an instant, giving you all the best reccomendations in Tel Aviv, helping you out with everything and even introducing you to other guests, pre-gaming together on the lovely rooftop terrace and taking everyone out to party every night for free. Met loads of cool people there and really loved the vibes. Rooms are basic but super clean and they all have AC. Neighbourhood is amazing with tons of street art and hip cafes and just a 10 minute walk to the beach and old jaffa. Wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in TLV,.

    Was left in a club in the nowhere, had to find the way back to the hostel myself, took me almost an hour. 5min of waiting would have avoided this, but I feel like no one in Israel cares about other people. Never experienced this while traveling to other countries. Dont feel welcome at All. Thanks for nothing!

    My stay was amazing, the hostel was well kept, but what separates it from others were the people. The warm and welcoming culture is contagious and in fact made me miss my flight just so I could stay. It’s a perfect way to step away from your phone and interact with so many different people from various cultures. The hostel really helps you travel in the best way possible.
