I had a fantastic stay at a hostel with spacious and clean rooms. The staff were really good too anticipate and meet my needs, especially a helpful young man at the front desk. The location was perfect, close to the bus station, shops, ATMs, and the beach. The hostel had everything I needed, including a kitchen and a nice terrace with a TV. I highly recommend this hostel.

The location. Meeting people in the common room. Knowing that there was a common kitchen. The price was right!
I think the coffee should be one price and available all day/night. Maybe try to keep up with the cleaning of the bathroom. At times it seemed to get really dirty.

It was just a short walk from the bus station, taking me only 4-5 minutes or even less to reach the hostel. the room was small, but it was still sufficient for my needs. After all, who spends their time sitting in a hostel room when there's so much to explore? I appreciated the presence of lockers in the room, though it's important to bring your own lock. the hostel also provided AC, which was a relief in the warm weather. In terms of facilities, the private WC and shower rooms in the corridor were always available and almost always free, which was a pleasant surprise for me considering it was low season. I also made use of the kitchen, microwave, and fridge, which were open from 8.00 AM to 23.00 PM, making it convenient for preparing meals or snacks. the breakfast provided each morning was impressive, with a variety of options including vegetables, fish, bread, tea. There was also tea and coffee available 24/7, which was a nice touch. I received a towel, as well as soap and shampoo. the Wi-Fi connection was reliable and there was a small light above each bed. Finally, the hostel's outdoor yard was fantastic, offering a peaceful space to relax, eat, or simply enjoy the surroundings. Cons: Nothing to complain about at all. 😊.

The rooms and bathrooms were quite clean and the desk staff/concierge? Were very friendly
I wanted to charge my phone and hang out in the public area at night (maybe midnight-ish) however the night staff (rather rudely) said I could not sit there but instead had to stay outside (where there are no outlets) or in the room (where people are sleeping). Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

the location was perfect, just a short walk from the bus station which made it very convenient for exploring the area. Secondly, the staff were really friendly and helpful, always willing to assist with any queries or recommendations. Lastly, the rooms were basic but comfortable, with everything I needed for a good night's sleep, including a balcony with a beautiful view of the mountains.
No major issues to mention, everything was fine.

I really liked the location of the hotel, as it was very close to the bus station and the beach. This made it convenient for me to travel around and also enjoy some time by the sea. Additionally, the staff at the reception were extremely helpful and friendly. They provided me with useful tips and recommendations, helping me plan my trip and even book my bus tickets. Their assistance was greatly appreciated.
The rooms in the hotel were quite small and crowded. The beds were a bit uncomfortable and made squeaky noises, which made it difficult for me to get a good night's sleep.

Very good staff! Helpfull and hospitable. Very nice single rooms and a clean kitchen to chare. Location is good; not to close to the big hotels, but close enough to the beach, the centre and the supermarket.

Friendly staff. Clean bed and bathroom in my single bed room. Good place if you're staying the night to catch a bus to Jerusalem or tel Aviv the next morning. If you're staying in Eilat for a vacation you should consider upgrading but for a one night budget hostel it was fine.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly, providing me with everything I needed to feel comfortable during my stay. The hotel facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was delicious. The location of this hotel was also very convenient, close to the center of town and within easy walking distance of all the major attractions.
Nothing that I didn't like.
