The Old Jaffa Hostel is indeed atmospheric and nicely decorated. It has an older feel about it which comes with pros and cons. It is a little run down, the bunks are quite narrow but clean enough, and the cupboards in the room are impossible to put a lock on. There is a safety deposit box at reception but no... More

A lovely old building in a lovely part of town. Unfortunately the unfriendly attitude of the staff really ruins the atmosphere and we felt really unwelcome. Even relaxing in the common area seems to be not allowed. My girlfriend was changing in her dormitory room and the (again very unfriendly) cleaning man just walked in without knocking, and didnt even... More

It's a nice place to stay everything was very clean,the sealing of the private rooms is quite low, and the doors are unique is like to be in a hobbit place, but very nice and the staff was very friendly. When I went out I found out I was in the middle of the flea market, I enjoy it cause... More

To whomever it may concern who plan to go to Tel Aviv! Go to Old Jaffa Hostel. Lovely located place, in the heart of Jaffa, close to Flee Market, next to most modern though not distanced restaurants and boutiques ... and hostel itself has a really great atmosphere, nice top roof where breakfast is served and where you can serve...

jus next to the Jaffa flea market and in walking distance to some of the doolest restaurants and bars in town (Vashti, Pooah, Container), it is a relaxed and calm place, lovely staff, most beautiful roof top and atmspheric interior.

We were very happy with our stay. Not far from a quiet beach stretch, bike rentals and restaurants along the promenade. In the area there were also a lot of flea markets and antique shops to explore. Staff very friendly and helpful, the view from the rooftop is a perfect place to relax after a hot day with a great... More

Way too much money for a tiny room with a musty smell! To make matters worse, the bathroom in our private room was infested with COCKROACHES, that eventually crept out into the super small room. When I let the reception know, she handed me a spray bottle and said it was because of the heat??? My husband and I have... More

The old jaffa hostel could have been a wonderful place to stay at, but right now it is not. It does not even come close to being wonderful, in fact it is rather run down. Ok, the location is fantastic and the building is athmospheric, with the old stuff on the walls as a nice touch, but the rooms have... More

I've stayed in Old Jaffa hostel two times, both times for about a week. As I've spent a lot of time in Israel studying and traveling, I want all the travelers to understand this: it's not Europe. You don't expect the same level of cleanliness, hospitality or facilities, at least not in this price category! Having said that, I find... More
