Home sweet home
Lived here off and on from '87 to '89. Close to the beach and downtown, yet on a quiet residential street. Not sure what it is, but there is always an amazing cast of characters drawn to this place. The best of times.

Good times
I stayed in the Home Hostel on a couple times in 1988/89 and I think it's a great place. Home Hostel was great. Want to go back there sometime.

Nice courtyard, close to the oldest part of Tel Aviv.
Great place to get work under the table. Close to nice part of the old city. This hostel attracts a nice variety of interesting characters and except for summer it is the not that overcrowded. Stayed there in '95. Better than some of the overcrowded hostels that some travelers avoid and watch how quickly you get bored of falafels. The only bad thing there was the coffee -- but the grinds at the bottom of the cup, good stuff. Tel Aviv not the prettiest city.

I was there in '87 -- had a fantastic time. Was also working as an extra on the movie. "The Emperors New Clothes."

Just to clear it up, Anat wasn't going out with Martin -- I was. I used to clean the hostel and had a little breakfast thing going for a while! My cat was Gingy but he was always in scraps or getting run over so probably not around anymore -- we were there from around '94 to '96.

I lived and worked there in 1997. It was a fantastic place and I would highly recommend it to any traveler with a yen for learning and living. A big hi to Keith and Aaron from Aussie Jo.

I lived there 1989-90. The boss was a dog called chicholina. Great 'old school' travelers hostel. Not for the faint hearted!

The craziest time, people and apples. It felt quite antiquated but had an unbelievable atmosphere. I stayed there a couple of times between 92/94.

I stayed at the Home Hostel after being asked to "leave" its sister hostel Shambo, and Home was a great place to live. I'm not totally sure when I was there but I think it was around 1994.

I had a great time here in 1994. I worked in Hava's restaurant and worked with Anat, who was going out with a South African called Martin. We have been married since 2000, believe it or not! Keith the English guy was the manager at the time!

I lived here in 1990-91. I loved it, and I'm thinking about going back. I hope it's still my home.
