    Some would call it 'with character', I call it shabby. The rooftop is quite pleasant. You can relax and take your drinks there, there is a kitchen with cutlery and plates that guests can use and a fridge. The air conditioning in my room worked well. The ceiling in my room was very high, it was wonderful. The walls are really thin, so you can hear everything going on in the corridors and it's a hostel so the groups of young people don't tend to keep quiet. I had a double room with a shared shower and the female shower was a long way away from my room which was super inconvenient. My room was clean, but everything was very old and shabby. The value for money of this accommodation is just terrible but I guess this is Tel Aviv for you... All in all, I was not at all happy with this accommodation and would not consider coming back.

    Great hotel. Not only in the summer if you want to sleep. Extreme noise from the street also from live music

    (Translated by Google) Great location and pleasant atmosphere among the guests. The hostel is old and of course has its own special charm. Nevertheless, a thorough cleaning from top to bottom urgently needed and possibly also a restoration / modernization of the sanitary facilities needed. The included breakfast is basic, but you can eat as much as you want. (Original) Super Lage und angenehme Atmosphäre unter den Gästen. Das Hostel ist alt und hat dadurch natürlich seinen ganz speziellen Charme. Trotzdem wäre eine Grundreinigung von oben bis unten dringend nötig und ggf. auch eine Restauration/Modernisierung der sanitären Anlagen nötig. Das inbegriffene Frühstück ist schlicht, aber man kann so viel essen wie man möchtet.

    Location is 11/10. The old vintage and yet rather comfortable. Vibe is also an extra star. Beds are very good, the shower clean and with good water pressure. The breakfast is better selection than many top rated hotels, coffee is fresh and tasty. There are few quirks- like no night staff , or slightly noisy outside area but it is right in the heart of old Jaffa! The market and restaurants are literally downstairs.

    This was really bad. The bar on the rooftop (big reason we selected this place) was closed. Bought some nibbles and drinks to enjoy on our own and got locked on the roof. Called and WhatsApped and got NO response! After about an hour we were able to crawl through a broken stained glass window. Went for coffee the next morning - it was instant but they didn’t have hot water 🙄 seriously?!? The place is in serious disrepair and probably why there is no longer a bar - wouldn’t pass a health inspection? We were in the superior room with balcony and struggled to even lock the door. No way to completely secure the room as the top lock on side door would not stay latched - kinda a problem for travelers… Asked (the night before and prior to being locked in roof) about them calling for a taxi in the morning and he told us we would have to pay him 30 shekels - again, seriously? For a phone call??? Highly discourage staying here. It has so much potential and an excellent location, but it was about as bad as we’ve stayed anywhere…

    very good for the price... the services were not exceptional, the wifi almost didn't work the breakfast is served on the rooftop terrace which is amazing... the views of the old town are beautiful... it's kinda difficult to get inside, you need to ring a bell and there is not always an answer...

    I stayed at this place many times in the mid 90s, and I can only say I hope it hasn't changed too much since that time! A lovely relaxing ambience, great location in the heart of the Old Jaffa flea market, close to Tel Aviv center, a stone's throw from the beach, and very reasonable pricing. I used the OJH as my base for travelling around Israel, Jordan and Egypt for several months, and always looked forward to returning to see the familiar faces and chill out with a beer on the roof or the balcony. Many happy memories, hopefully one day I'll get to go back!

  • 2/5 Marvin M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The hotel has a nice location in the middle of Jaffa where there are many restaurants and bars .. that was great. But the price quality ratio is very poor. The hostel is old and rundown and the room was filled with penetrating moldy air. The window could only be opened if the (too small) bed was pushed in the middle of the room and standing under the shower did not go completely .. first wash one half then the other. The breakfast had been sufficient for a cheap hostel, but for the 90 euros that we paid that also fell short. The roof terrace is beautiful. I would not recommend this place .. there are much better places to find (check my other reviews) Did this review help you? Like m dan ff below 😁👇👍 (Original) Het hotel heeft een leuke ligging midden in Jaffa waar veel restaurantjes en barretjes zijn.. dat was dus top. Maar de prijs kwaliteit verhouding is heel slecht. Het hostel is oud en vervallen en in de kamer hing een doordringende schimmellucht. Het raam kon alleen open als het (te kleine) bed midden in de kamer werd geschoven en onder de douche staan ging niet in zn geheel.. eerst de ene helft wassen dan de andere. Het ontbijt was voor een goedkoop hostel voldoende geweest maar voor de 90 euro die wij hebben betaald schoot ook die tekort. Het dakterras is wel mooi. Ik zou deze plek niet aanraden.. er zijn veel betere plaatsen te vinden (check mijn andere reviews) Had je iets aan deze review? Like m dan ff hier onder 😁👇👍

  • 5/5 Har H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice little hostel with good service for a small price. Super centrally located in the Arab district of Jaffa. Optimal transport connections and only a few minutes walk to the Mediterranean. Buildings from the English colonial era cannot be overlooked. The reputation of the Muezzins crowns the relaxing and relaxed atmosphere in the area. In the neighboring house, some scenes from the first season of the agent series 'Homeland' were even shot. Occupied by pictures in the common room. I even recognized it immediately in the series. (Original) Nettes kleines Hostel mit gutem Service zum kleinen Preis. Super zentral gelegen im arabischen Stadtteil Jaffa. Optimale Verkehrsanbindungen und nur wenige Fußminuten zum Mittelmeer. Gebäude aus englischer Kolonialzeit sind nicht zu übersehen. Der Ruf des Muezzins krönt die erholsame und gelassene Stimmung in der Gegend. Im Nachbarhaus wurden sogar einige Szenen der ersten Staffel der Agentenserie 'Homeland' gedreht. Belegt durch Bilder im Gemeinschaftsraum. Ich habs sogar in der Serie sofort wiedererkannt.

  • 5/5 Barbara U. 7 years ago on Google
    Such a nice place to stay! The hostel is located just perfectly to dive into this fascinating country. Friendly atmosphere, colonial style, everything is clean and the breakfast is very good. At the end of the day the top roof terrace was an incredible comfort nest to chill out ...

    (Translated by Google) Ideal location in a lively area (so noisy, free earplugs at the reception). The team on site is very good advice (taxi, transport, etc.). Rooms a little small but warm and colorful with the charm of the old (and air!). Pleasant common areas, a top terrace with views of the sea and the clock tower. I recommend ! (Original) Emplacement idéal dans un quartier animé (donc bruyant ; boules quies gratuites à l'accueil). L'équipe sur place est de très bon conseil (taxi, transports, etc.). Des chambres un peu petites mais chaleureuses et colorées avec le charme de l'ancien (et la clim !). Des espaces communs agréables, une terrasse top avec vue sur la mer et la tour de l'horloge. Je recommande !

  • 4/5 Yam C. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful hostel, we had a private room and it was so cute and old school, it kind of felt historical. Toilets and showers were clean. Personnel was super friendly. Only thing I would add is that breakfast could definitely be improved.

  • 5/5 Liz W. 4 years ago on Google
    My only experience of a hostal in over 30 years and I was really pleasantly surprised, it was quant, quickly and very friendly right in the heart of old Jaffa and represented real value in expensive Tel aviv where hotels were almost prohibitive to visit. Shame as it is a really interesting city to visit in a fascinating country.

  • 3/5 B S. 5 years ago on Google
    Great location if you are looking for a place to crash after partying, nice deck upstairs to chill and drink coffee, and a very pleasant staff. Unfortunately, if you are looking for quiet, it’s quite loud as there are bars surrounding it at night.

  • 4/5 Desiree A. 6 years ago on Google
    Spent 2 nights in a private bedroom. GREAT location! Very nice staff. Simple Breakfast on the roof in the morning is lovely with the sunshine. If you are on a budget and you want to stay in Jaffa - stay here :)

  • 1/5 Anna M. 4 years ago on Google
    I've never seen such a dirty place like this. You should be ashamed. The whole air conditioner was dirty. I inhaled layers of dust with the air. The fridge has never been washed. Between bathroom tiles was blak colour. Shower was unpleasant. The location is great. Very halpfull and kind people at the reception. However I can't give more stars because this place is dangerous to human healf. Clean this place and it will be great.

    Cool again. Hat room nr. 17. Very nice. Leaving now to the sister hostel in Jerusalem.

  • 5/5 Jesse E. 6 years ago on Google
    I really like this place. The location is great in terms of being in a historic building, in a historical neighborhood, and having nice quiet options for sitting on the large rooftop terrace or inside--nice commute to central Tel-Aviv from here either on foot (3k?), or the city bikes. Breakfasts are simple but have just enough variety to start the day on a heathy note. It is reasonably clean, but not spotless, although they clearly make an effort. This place has been in business a long time so there is a lot of history to it--I'd definitely stay again.

  • 4/5 K M. 4 years ago on Google
    The hostel is beautiful, clean and has an awesome rooftop terrace. Unfortunately it was quite loud during the night because the hostel is close to some bars. The staff was superfriendly about it though and we sorted it out.If you wanna stay in a beautiful place and wanna do a bit of partying yourself, this place is definitely for you.

  • 2/5 David M. 4 years ago on Google
    You can call it vintage, but it is just broken and dirty. Specially the female employees don't care about the guests but for their own needs. At the breakfast you can ask for milk 3 times and they won't stop smoking. But NEVER start your breakfast too early on your departure day. They are not kidding with this subject. The male employees are caring better, but they can't do everything on their own. So you find dust in all corners, a green slime in the common used bathrooms, the windows are not cleaned for years and sometimes you have cockroaches in the sink. See the pictures. The breakfast is simple and empty if you are too late. Call it vintage, I call it broke.

  • 5/5 shamsher s. 4 years ago on Google
    An extremely good place for backpackers or even family trips...good rooms, very good hygiene and service and an excellent ambience. Cherry on top is that it is economical and located very close to Old Jaffa market lined with shops, cafes and good restaurants. On weekends this place becomes very vibrant. All in all value for money with guaranteed unforgettable experience.
