I stayed here in 1999 for a few months and it's sad to see the hostel life slowly coming to a end. I've just returned from Israel (02 oct 2006) and the hostel prices have gone up alot in the space of a few years. it's hard to find a hostel for under 50 nis and private rooms start at 130-200 nis a day. (when a breakfast is mentioned, which is included, it's a boiled egg, two slices of bread, a tiny tub of butter, and a weak cup of coffee --this is known as a continental breakfast in Israel). Good luck to any traveler going to Israel as you need a lot more cash than before. I keep going back as I love it there, but plenty more cash in the wallet.

This hostel is closed! It's a real shame; it was a very cool place. I was there today (June 3) and it's not open.

Shalom. I went there today, and it's closed down. It's a real shame because four years ago you could not get a room here sometimes. It's a sign of the times in Israel. Regards to all the good people who were there when I was. It was one of the coolest places in Tel Aviv to be.

I stayed here in 2000 and 2001. There are lots of fun people to explore Tel-Aviv with, and it's close to everything. Inside the hostel is a nice bar, and there's a good view of Tel-Aviv from the balcony. Clean and tidy, this hostel is a must!
