Great
Location

Boutique
Hotel
Location
The
hotel
is
located
in
a
trendy
section
of
Tel
Aviv,
within
steps
of
shops,
bistros,
restaurants,
bars,
and
shopping
and
a
few
blocks
to
the
beach
on
the
Mediterranean
Sea.
Once
we
had
our
car-service
driver
drop
us
off
at
the
hotel,
we
walked
nearly
everywhere
else
that
we
wanted
to
visit.
The
entrance
is
down
a
short
passageway
off
the
main
street,
so
when
you’re
first
arriving,
don’t
look
for
a
big,
grand
hotel
entrance.
Lobby
and
Check-In
The
lobby
is
small,
but
functional.
The
staff
is
friendly
and
helpful.
The
check-in
process
was
relatively
efficient.
There
is
one
elevator,
but
we
did
not
incur
any
lengthy
waits.
Rooms
Because
it’s
a
boutique
hotel,
rooms
are
in
various
shapes
and
sizes.
We
were
fortunate
to
get
a
large
room
on
near
the
top
of
the
hotel,
with
a
balcony
that
had
two
chairs
and
a
table
for
outdoor
seating.
Rooms
are
modern,
in
a
spartan
sort
of
way.
The
bed
was
quite
comfortable,
with
electrical
outlets
at
bedside
each
bedside
table.
There
was
one
long
counter
that
served
as
a
desk
(with
two
chairs,
so
that
both
of
us
could
use
our
computers
at
the
same
time)
and
sink
area,
along
with
a
mini-refrigerator.
The
problem,
however,
was
that
there
were
not
electrical
outlets
near
the
desk
area.
Fortunately,
we
travel
with
mini-extension
cords,
so
we
were
able
to
“rig
up”
a
power
station
by
running
the
cord
across
the
counter
to
the
coffee/tea
area.
The
closet
has
a
rack
for
hanging
clothes
and
shelves
for
holding
folded
items,
but
there
was
no
door
or
drawers.
There
was
a
large
personal
safe
for
guests’
valuables.
Complimentary
coffee
and
tea
were
provided,
and
a
bottle
of
water
per
guest
per
day
was
included.
In
addition,
we
were
able
to
buy
liters
of
water
in
a
shop
just
across
the
street
from
the
hotel.
Bathroom
The
bathroom
was
the
only
drawback.
It
was
very
narrow,
to
the
point
that
only
one
guest
could
comfortably
be
in
the
bathroom
at
any
given
time.
There
was
no
storage
room
for
guests’
personal
toiletries,
and
there
was
even
little
room
for
the
hotel
shampoo
and
soap,
which
begged
the
question
of
why
they
used
a
breakable
ceramic
soap
dish
that
barely
fit
on
the
edge
of
the
shelf
beside
the
sink,
so
it
could
have
easily
been
knocked
over
and
crashed
to
the
floor.
The
shower
was
small,
but
had
good
water
pressure.
Even
with
the
door
closed,
the
seal
was
not
great,
so
water
dripped
onto
bathroom
floor.
Dining
Options
The
hotel
does
not
have
a
restaurant
on
its
premises,
although
they
have
complimentary
wine
served
between
19:00-21:00
each
day.
The
hotel
recommends
a
few
breakfast
restaurants
nearby,
one
of
which
we
tried
(“Sidewalk”
restaurant
was
terrific).
Overall
The
overall
hotel
experience
was
quite
good,
and
I
would
consider
staying
at
the
Dizzengoff
Avenue
Hotel
again
were
I
to
be
in
Tel
Aviv.
