Blau - Weiss Hostel

I arrived at the youth hostel in the late afternoon after having been to En Gedi. Instead of staying over there I drove to Arad expecting a better/lower price for an overnight stay. I was the only guest, thus they did not serve breakfast or dinner — but it does not matter, there is a supermarket just around the corner, and the center is 200 meters away where you find nice restaurants and at least one supermarket. I was lucky because the reception is open from 8h to 13h or 14h. [8 a.m. till 1 or 2 p.m.] But the owner's husband passing by seldom offered me a room. I paid the price for a dormitory — 63 Shekels — and stayed in a clean single room with shower and toilet. I will go there again — but next time I will call in advance.
