Old Jaffa Hostel

Located near the clock tower and flea market, the Old Jaffa Hostel is one of the best choices for its charm and uniqueness.

The Old Jaffa Hostel has received very good reviews in all the leading travel guides to Israel, and for a good reason. It is not at all like the hostels in the center of Tel Aviv across the Hayarkon and Ben-Yehuda; it really has a character of its own.

The Hostel doesn't aim at providing fun and games for youngsters, but rather a quiet and relaxed environment for guests of all ages and tastes. The hostel is located in a renovated old Arab house in Jaffa, with arched passages, painted tile floors and high ceilings. Very different from the hustle bustle in the center.

Its only disadvantage is in being able to get around. Though there are many nice places to eat and drink in Jaffa, most places are located in the center which isn't in easy walking distance(20-30 min). But perhaps Jaffa is all you need when visiting Tel Aviv…

A second disadvantage is that at night the charming streets can become a little deserted and intimidating. Single travelers, especially women, should take that into account (taking taxis or going out with other travelers would more or less eliminate this problem).

Please add your comments on the service, facilities and quality of this hostel.

Old Jaffa Hostel
written by Netty van der Velden on August 28, 2007

A very good place to stay. Friendly, easy to socialize. Also easy to spend time on your own, sitting on the roofterrace and just listen to the birds, have a look over the sea and all the houses and little streets. Very kind people, I remember two ladies, Ruth and a woman who doesn't smile much and doesn't look friendly in the beginning but she has a haert of gold. And the place, Jaffa, with the dirty streets and the flea market 'round the corner, ah, awsome. One day I will go back and stay there for a while! Shalom, Netty (the Netherlands)

A unique bar on Lilinblaum St. where you can enjoy a nice shot of Tullamore, maybe a touch of Japanese Opera and some excellent company. It's one of a kind.
