Terrible service, mean reception, and bad rooms
I stayed here because it was cheap, but at first there are a bunch of sleaze balls that stay here, including one guy who filmed the people coming in and out and even starting arguments with people. Ok, so the second night I stayed there I checked out at 11 a.m. and they said I could keep my baggage there til midnight as long as I paid 5 NIS. Fine. But, after I went to the beach and wanted to get a pair of pants out of the baggage room, they would not let me change in the bathroom, kitchen, anywhere. What was I supposed to do? I'm paying for the space, and now I am not allowed to change. So, they want me out of the hostel and I said it was not right so they threw my stuff on the street! A bunch of assholes work here. Save the trouble.

Six point from ten
I visit this hostel at may 2009, check out at 11 o'clock. first at the reception gave me key for room, it was at second floor, no elevator. I get in and I was shock, three double-decker plus another double-decker at the balcony. also it was stifling unpleasant and full, I left immediately and ask from the reception another option so the gave me key for another room, same side room but three double-decker in the room and was three person so it was ok. the problem was that this room was at the front of busy road -- problem to sleep! no air conditioner but wind from the sea. I manege to sleep somehow, even one person was snoring. breakfast was a big and nice cake plus any hot drink that you ask. if you want to keep your luggage after you check out you can leave it for 5 NIS -- this was wonderful because I was need to go to visit friends at and I didnt want to go with luggage.

Keep looking.
I've stayed at a lot of hostels around the world and this one was definitely one at the bottom of the heap. Really dirty, really dingy and depressing environment, unhelpful staff, horrific bathrooms, beds that felt like slabs of concrete, no A/C and a joke for a breakfast (tea and a slice of bread). The only reason it got two stars from me as opposed to one is the fact that it's in a somewhat decent location.

Haunted house
i stayed with of friend of mine last january and i thought that it was halloween because there was a lot of freaks staying there but it wasn't, that was just the weirdo people that were staying there. i had terrible nightmares and that was during the day! if you want to visit the local zoo, theres no need to go far -- just down to the lobby.

Very bad
My advice is never go there. It is a dirty place though it is cheap. There some old guys living there, staring at every girl. The showers are disgusting and nowhere it is clean (there is only one cleaning lady). I even got some malt under my feet. If you complain about something, the staff does nothing to improve so everything is fallen apart. The breakfast isn't a real breakfast but only a crappy piece of cake and instant coffee. There is no airco, only a fan but that doesn't help so it's pretty hot in the rooms.

This was the grossest place I have ever seen/been to in my life. There were bugs in the bed when we woke up. The place was dirty and depressing. I wouldn't stay here again if my life depended on it.

I visited Israel just over a year ago and while Israelis aren't well known for their friendly, helpful nature the staff here couldn't been nicer and were always on hand to give advice to any questions from this tourist. The only thing that might put some people off is that the guests living here weren't typical backpackers.

Very nice I had a private room there and it was of good size, and clean. The location is great close to buses and the beach. The staff are nice and friendly. Very helpful and always ready to offer help in directions. The only downside I found was the breakfast served in its sister hostel about 200 feet from the sky. Over all the price quality and features was outstanding

This place is an absolute dive. I have stayed in cheap hostels across India and Southeast Asia, and I have never stayed in such a filthy run down hostel as this. Also, lots of the "guests" are not typical backpackers, they are drifters, picking up work where and when they can and some of them are pretty mad. Not a good place.

I stayed here in April 2005. I needed a room for the day, on my way to Sinai. The staff were helpful on the desk; I got a bed and a hot shower. I would stay there again.
