    My parents stayed at the Diaghilev several years ago and had a wonderful experience there, so naturally after COVID restrictions were lifted and they were able to finally come to Israel to attend my wedding, they were excited to book the Diaghilev once again. Unfortunately, their previous positive experience was not replicated, and mainly due to the awful service at the hotel. Upon arrival, they were told that a deposit of 500 NIS and a deposit of 1250 NIS for VAT would be taken from the credit card we gave, but were promised several times that their card would not be charged for their stay until the end of the visit. The very next morning they found out that the hotel had charged their credit card 7000 NIS for the whole 13-night stay without their permission. Since when can hotels charge credit cards they have on file without their guests' consent? When they asked to be credited the money until the end of their visit, the response from the extremely rude manager was that they could leave. They were not given their money back. In addition to that, the service in general was terrible. When the room's keypad stopped working, they were given a key to enter their room, but they were told that because this was the hotel's only copy, they would have to return the key and ask for it each time they came back to the hotel. Are hotel guests supposed to be at the mercy of the receptionist like this? It took many demands until they finally agreed to fix the keypad on the door. Also, each morning they were given just two packets of coffee and two packets of sugar, one per guest, and if they asked for any more, they would have to wait a half hour or more until just one more packet per guest was brought to them. This kind of service is simply unacceptable, especially for a hotel in the center of Tel Aviv. Very disappointing. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the room itself was nice, and the cleaning staff were excellent.

    Amatures. Kept us waiting for the check-in forever. No one to talk with. Avoid if you can.

    Like located fairly centrally on a quiet street less than 2km from the beach and in between a number of markets. The rooms are large with nice, separated seating area, kitchenette and bedroom. Mid-century modern seems to be the motif with the furniture. Apparently each of the rooms are a bit different. Artsy vibe and gallery feel in the lobby.

    We are a family of six and we were very nicely surprised with this artsy hotel with a central location. We had one of the bigger rooms and it was very spacious for all of us. Two of my boys are 6ft3+. The room we had had a kitchenette. But since we stayed for only one night we did not use the kitchen other than the kettle. Yet we slept very comfortably. The beds in the two bedrooms were very comfy but the cot beds in the living room we’re not as plush. Also my boys who slept in the living room area said that the big window facing the street in the room was noisy with traffic for most of the evening and early morning. All in all for the cost of the room for all six of us was reasonable, the rooms were clean and a spacious one full bathroom. We would highly recommend this place if you have a bigger family and are on a budget. A lot of the 4-5 ⭐️ hotels in Tel Aviv are not as up to standard as they are in North America, yet The Diaghilev was quite charming and a great find!

    We stayed in Diaghilev hotel 6 times over the last 5 years. It was always our primary choice, because we really liked the Diaghilev ambiance and location. Unfortunately this time we were very disappointed. So I had to downgrade the review. We stayed twice during one week. At the time of our second visit they decided to charge for parking though it was never mentioned (and never charged) before. In addition, we didn’t get the right room, bathroom sink was backed up and drained very slowly. So be aware about unexpected changes that were not mentioned by Expedia.

    Tidy spacious rooms with gorgeous city views from balconies. I loved all the complementary dead sea toiletries! Lots of interesting art in every room.

    It's an apartment set up, with cleaning, in central tel aviv. Honestly it's an ok set up

    Excellent location, very spacious rooms, great for a short stay in the heart of tel aviv. It's an old building, renewed and very quitch decorated. I would certainly recommend it

    Only my personal experience. Stayed there a decade ago. That time had a great experience. Current staying - disappointment. Only the lobby remained pretty much the same. Rooms unrecognizable. Shabby and sad...The atmosphere completely changed. What a pittie.

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Diaghilev. The staff is exceptional; they made us feel like a member of the family. Rooms were comfortable, clean and, roomy (which is a rarity in Tel Aviv). Hotel is well-located and Back Stage (the restaurant in the lobby) makes the best cappuccino.

    Quiet family hotel in a quiet street in the heart of Tel Aviv. Clean nice rooms. Worth staying for city exploration.

    Not worth the money. Great bathtub

  • 4/5 yvan l. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't really place this hotel. Does not feel like a hotel. No people busing around, no restaurant, no pool, no place where guest congragates. And also an almost always empty lobby, a parking, a oversized clean bedroom, a kitchen with no facilities to cook or just warm up food, a empty roof top. Quite strange. The best and winning point, great location 200m from Rotchild.

    Excellent place for a short stay, no restaurant or bar but round the corner from lots of restaurants, bars, cafes etc. Suites are good size. Nice staff and a fridge and plates etc for eating in take-outs or if using a meal delivery service.

    The rooms are fairly basic but has a very good location if you don't care about the beach. They put up a few posters and now it's an art hotel 😃 The breakfast was good.

  • 4/5 Samara Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros: location is great near Rothschild, great eating spots and cafes. Beach was close enough to walk and we preferred being in the neighbourhood feeling area. We were very comfortable with our 3 kids on the couches which open to beds and a single bed for our daughter. We had a separate bedroom. Bathroom is big and modern with great shower and shower products. Excellent housekeeping Cons: front desk team is friendly but clueless. Could not advise on pretty much anything. Kitchen in the room is very poorly stocked (eg 2 forks, limited dishes, square bowls that were not very functional). No toaster. They did supply extra dishes upon request. Provided a sponge when requested.

    Room was by far most spacious of our entire trip in Israel. Beds felt pretty basic. Bathroom was small. Staff was nice. Breakfast every morning was delicious. Location was great.

    Never before I had a hotel so fancy. The suite is so rich yet so homish. There is a living room with original oil paintings, cabble TV, a little kitchen with a little fridge, kettle and a coffee machine supplied with teabags and coffee bags collection of many kinds. King-size bedroom. Windows to two directions. Each suite is little different. Suites may accommodate three or four. Regretfully, due to the corona, no food is offered, but the neighborhood is full of eateries. A parking lot below the building, wheelchair accessible. 60₪ per day. Highly recommend.
