I stayed here for a while. There is quite a friendly vibe, it's a good environment for meeting other travellers. Location is pretty good too, it's very close to all the nightlife in Tel Aviv. The staff are about as friendly and helpful as Israelis get. I'd probably stay there again.

Hi there, In short I've had the worst hostel stay in my life here and the worse thing was what happened after I left. I gave obviously a bad review (as it is my right as a Bookings users) and the owners have literally tormented me after that. If you scroll down the reviews page you can see how aggressive... More

I stayed at Chef Hostel for 2 nights and was generally pleased with my experience. I had booked a bunk in a 5 share ladies dorm and was pleased to see that there were only 2 of us on the first night and 3 of us on the second although there would have been ample space even had the room... More

We booked a room in this hostel but by arrival the hostelowner 'upgraded' us to the room next to his own bedroom... He was all the time entering our room with many stupid excuses and even in the middle of the night when we were sleeping, he sneaked in to put for instance chocolat next to our bed. He was... More

We stayed in a private suite, with full bathroom, living room, double bed and extra cot. All the privacy you could want and yet a hostel...go to the main areas to chat with other travelers. Great place to hang out and in a perfect location in the city centre. Staff was helpful in pointing out where to go for dinner,... More

My experience with the hostel has been flawless. The location is perfect, and the owner is very helpful and friendly. I was a bit concerned as I just booked my room just before I head to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem (one hour) and it was Shabbat, but they accommodated me still. I paid exactly what I was supposed to based... More

The staff was efficient for booking me in and arranging for airport transfer. However, this place is quite dinghy. The living room is dusty and shelves are full of stuff left over by guests. The bedsheets were flimsy and made of some polyester material that were overwashed and rough and had to pay 13 shekals for them. The pillow is... More

Place is in a great location however the staff and volunteers are quite rude and make you feel as if you are pestering them when asking a simple question, atmosphere is lacking and was not the best hostel I stayed in Tel aviv

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
We found the nicest roomy house in the true city center (financial cultural historical dining and drinking and night life center) renovated it to be a lovely place with great common area, sparkling showers, fast free wifi, beautiful huge patio. We bought the best mattresses, put AC in all rooms, built a great kitchen for me, the chef, to cook you amazing meals or snacks on command and for you to show me your creations. We clean 24/7. We speak 7 languages here, we know the city and Israel better then anyone. Don't go to eat without asking us where and what, we have a strict set of rules and conditions since it's first of all our home. Papa and mama chef, chef and girlfriend, our dog and our cat. When you call us you reach directly the chef. This is a family business, not a plastic faceless cooperation. ... more   less
