2/10 Poor

Deceived

Looked good online. Came highly recommended. But the we arrived. Front door would not stay latched. Shower head leaked and sprayed water all over bathroom. Used towel to mop it up only to find out they charge extra for replacement towels. Noise all night long. Breakfast was good but they made us wash our dishes. Had to strip our beds and deliver sheets down stairs. Place is quit worn with sloppy maintenance. Absolutely not “very good”!

my experience from the time i stay at Arava hostel

amazing place to spend the weekend, very good service i slept like a baby because the area is very quiet, there are shops nearby so you can go to eat lunch only 300 meters from the hostel, the crew is very kind and i felt like I'm staying in my family place, not in a hostel, the one that stands above all was Tommy great guy with very high service awareness, i will come again for sure :)

Great budget room for night

Great budget room for night; walk-able to beach/center (not in summer). Good breakfast included; nice ground; room with kettle and small refrigerator; easy street parking (and limited on site parking). Very clean.Locker is 10 NIS (up to 24 hr).

10/10 Exceptional

Personal service and hospitality are top of the pops. Very clean place in walking distance to: Bus station, Airport, food and shopping. The hostel is well-organized and set like an oasis. Surrounded by a lush garden it offers rest and tranquility, even though it's set in close proximity to the city centre.

Easy walk to bus station

Easy walk to the bus station and good inexpensive restaurants. Good outdoor lounging space. Only concern was that my bunk room was stuffy and had no windows; not the best place to share with two guys who were sick.

Basic comforts and the friendliest service imagina

The friendliness and service at this hotel was superb. All staff were super helpful, and given the cost, this was a super value. If you want luxury this is not the place for you. But if you want basic comforts and an atmosphere that makes you feel welcome, do not hesitate to book. You can even walk to the airport!

10/10 Exceptional

Great value with staff that truly cares

I stayed here for 2 nights on my way to Jerusalem. Eilat is not a cheap town as accommodations can be expensive but the dorms are good value for what you get. The hostel is nicer than appears in the pictures with a garden area to hang out / socialize, good Wifi inside, clean shared bathroom and rooms with comfy beds and power outlets by the bed and a good breakfast. It is well located and within walking distance to the airport, central train station and various restaurants / markets. A dishonest taxi driver took off with my main luggage still in the trunk which is every traveller's nightmare and the staff Ruth and Tommy were very kind and empathetic of my situation. They took the time to help me call all the taxi companies around town and helped me deal with it as best they could. I would highly recommend this hostel.
G, 1-night trip

This is a hostel, not resort hotel

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was wonderful, with suggestions for places to eat and things to do. They were always cheerful and helpful. We were able to rent gear to snorkel for less than at the Coral Beach Nature Reserve. The only negative comment is that breakfast could have been better.
Debbie, 2-night trip

Prettig verblijf voor een goede prijs

Prettig verblijf voor een goede prijs met alle nodige voorzieningen beschikbaar en voldoende veiligheid voor je persoonlijke bezittingen. Ontbijt was okay. Gunstige ligging.
René, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast was very good: salad, bread, jam and chokolate paste, milk, soft cheese, olives. It is very good location, 10 min walk to the Central bus station and very close to the local airport. Supermarket is 10 min by foot. But I didn’ like the shower.

10/10 Exceptional

Советую!

Я нашла там поддержку и приятную компанию! и полную безопасность.
