The Port Inn is an excellent budget choice for travelers wishing to see Haifa. It is located a few minutes' walk from the main train station and can be accessed after finding the main Yaffa Road. If coming by bus, it is accessible by the 114 or 103 buses from the Hof Hakarmel bus station. In addition, it is a few minutes' walk form Haifa's main attraction -- that obviously being the Bahai Gardens -- and is located near numerous bars and clubs, thus located at a great center for nightlife.
The hostel is cheap and also offers a laundry service for a small price as well as towel rentals. Internet access is also available for a fee.
The dorms are fairly bare, but do the job. The bathroom that is included is horrendous, however, as it is extremely cramped, and it is very difficult to get out of the shower. However, it's not bad enough to disregard the Inn for a night's stay.
The kitchen is great for cooking, and there is an outdoor patio area for eating outside. There's also a common area filled with couches and a TV -- great to meet up with fellow travelers and have a discussion or two about politics or life in general.
All in all, this hostel is recommended for people who don't mind not having the most luxurious hostel, and for people who want to meet new people with whom to travel around Haifa. The area can appear to be a bit sketchy at night, but it is safe to walk around.
