The hostel is in a great location with the flea market, bars, old jaffa and pretty close to the beach. The rooms, the rooftop and the house is very beautiful and tasteful. We had a great private room cat. A. It was clean, but not "neat". The breakfast is ok, but as the say it is a "little breakfast". BUT... More

I stayed there 4 nights in a private room. The place is a bit run down, but the LOCATION in flea market area is its best quality. You can walk to the sea and take a bus to Tel Aviv. The hostel is full of young people and the atmosphere is casual. STAFF: I didn’t have much contact with them,... More

A reallt cool converted house in the very trendy flea market area of Old Jaffa. Oozing with charm and quirky decor and old family photographs this place certainly has character. We stayed 3 separate nights there. The first they had double -booked us and had no space. They were very apologetic and offered to find us alternative accommodation but we... More

Really nice old building, just next to market area and a few bars and good restaurants. Simple and clean room, with balcony overlooking market street + common bathrooms and showers. Having breakfast on the roof is awesome. Get yourself a coffee and/or fresh orange juice from one of the stores down the street and enjoy ! Not so easy to... More

I have been staying here very often, because I love the place, terrasse, market atmosphere. So I recently brought a group of friends - but they found cockroaches in their rooms and we complained. The staff hardly reacted to our complaint (something in the category of a shoulder movement, I remember) and obviously did nothing. The cockroaches stayed. I have... More

My partner and I stayed at the Old Jaffa Hostel for three nights. We had a room with a balcony that faced on to the street, which was fairly quiet during the day but louder at night. This was fine for us, as we could enjoy the atmosphere of music and bustle from the bars and restaurants below while we... More

The hostel has a great location in Old Jaffa and the building certainly has character. Rooms are pleasant and it is a good place to meet and interact with fellow travellers. However, if you are visiting in July or August then it is hot and there is no air conditioning in the rooms! The only hostel we stayed at in... More

Great place with very friendly staff! Great rooftop and central to Jaffa and beach, but not downtown Tel Aviv and the better beaches. The rooms are small and very, very hot in the summer time. But nice decorations --- especially in the private rooms.
