    Can't recommend because the private room was moldy, dirty and had a very, very strong smell of humidity that almost made it hard to breathe. There was a dirty underwear left in the cupboard and random items above it, dirt and other things on the floor. If you do decide to go there, get all the instructions online before getting there, because there's no reception to check you in and you might otherwise just get stuck outside like we did (and like other guests did while we were there).

    (Translated by Google) Clearly the accommodation space for the number of guests is small! My space is almost on the bed. Take care of your whereabouts. But the owner is very kind. You can get along with the guests who are around the small area. Breakfast was out well. Because it is in the center of Old Town, it is convenient to go anywhere. There is a flea market nearby. Please go to the observatory for about 20 minutes on foot. (Original) 明らかに宿泊人数に対しての宿泊所の空間が狭い! 自分のスペースはほぼベッドの上です。 自分の居場所に気を使います。 ただオーナーはとても親切です。 あと狭い分周りにいる宿泊者と仲良くなれます。 朝食がしっかり出ていました。 オールドタウンの中心にあるのでどこに行くのにも便利です。 近くに蚤の市があります。 ぜひ歩いて20分くらいの展望台は行ってください。

    Fantastic time in this hostel. Owner (Moti) goes above and beyond to make his guests feel comfortable. This creates a great vibe in the hostel and makes the guests feel very much at home. Besides that, the facilities are great (beautiful old building in prefect location) and the breakfast is delicious and always fresh. I can’t recommend this hostel highly enough!

    Very kind Hostel. Motti helps you with all you need. The hostel is located in a quite street close to Jaffas Mainstreet Yefet. Shops are near. You live in the middle of the Old town of Jaffa. Very uncomplicated atmosphere. Modern but traditional.

    Cosy and comfortable place, right in the heart of Jaffa old city. A minute's walk provides the best views of Tel Aviv. Moti is an excellent host, taking care of everything, always accessible, and friendly.

    Really dirty. Smells terrible. There aren't windows at all. No ventilation. Nobody takes care of it. No reception. People just find a free bed an sleep in used bedclothes. No food, no breakfast. Kitchen small and also dirty.

    Cleanliness not perfect but ok. Cute place, very small but it is making that you make easy connections with other travellers. I was very dissapointed when i arrived to learn that there is totally no staff. I had to just choose a bed, beg to the other travellers for the wifi, nobody evern checked if i payed. There are people 'living' in the place and they helped and were really kind. Still, they are not paid for running this place and any staff could have been appriciated. Thank you Idan for your kindness.

    Everything very beautiful and to my taste! Very nice staff, comfortable beds, close to the beach, right in the old center, with connections both to the promenade and I hope other areas of the city, but also to the airport

    Wonderful place in Jaffa. The hosts are genuine and treat you like family, the breakfast is delicious, and the interior of the hostel is authentic old Jaffa architecture. A real treat! The only downside is that it is far from the downtown and main Tel Aviv beaches, but it is generally near the Central Bus Station, the Jaffa Markets, and the venues for big gay parties such as Forever. You will want to figure out the busses or scooter systems if you plan on spending most of your time in the center of the city, or enjoy the 45 minutes to 1 hour of walking alongside the world's best coastline. All in all, it is a wonderful stay, and should be on your list.

    100% the best hostel for the best price in Tel Aviv. Abed is super nice friendly and welcoming. You will not find a better atmosphere and place than this. The gold tile floors fancy sliding glass door clean bathrooms and shower and quaint rooms are a winner for me. They got out of there way to accommodate guests..

    Abed is a top bloke, floor could do with a vacuum (hoover) but other than that this place was perfect. Really good people in the hostel as well.

  • 4/5 Polo M. 4 years ago on Google
    The Polihosts host (Motti) is really great and welcoming, he makes sure you are comfortable when you enter. Cozy, but very modern stylish place with good breakfast. Room was nice, with big bed, and good comforter and since the room is locked, there's an adjustable humidifier. Though I wish there was another bathroom available. I don't care if it's private, I just wish there was more than 2 for the whole hostel. But otherwise, great location.

    Very friendly host who saved our trip! We had mistakenly booked for Yom Kippur where we had no chance to get to Jaffa. The host was super cooperative and found a solution for us while he could have been easily persisting on keeping the booking. I hope we have the chance to visit his place on another occasion. Hosts like him make travelling so precious. Thanks!
