If you go to Eilat, you will fall in love with the town, its beaches, the desert on the back, its nice bars and promenade...Don't miss the dolphin reef and have a drink at 3 Monkey's-- the best pub in town!
I visited Mitzpe Ramon in September 2003. And I was the happiest woman in the world there. There it is -- pure, genuine, wonderful paradise.
Many ATM machines in Eilat don’t accept U.K. bank cards.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … nicest place ive been to since i am in israel. nice rooms, very clean, big yard outside with bbq. very friendly staff that supports you with all the informations you need. a very good price. close to the central bus station but quiet.
Spring Hostel in Eilat … after being ripped off somewhere else, spring motel was very friendly and the price was fair. the rooms are clean and indeed the place looks like a small hotel. the staff attitude were good and overall it was a very good experience. i recommend everyone staying in this hostel on their visit to eilat.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … I've just spent five days staying at the hostel and I found the standard of the hostel excellent, my room was spotless. And witnessing the effort put into cleaning the rooms, I can see why! I had my own bathroom, fridge, and TV. You can do your laundry and there's a decent sized kitchen. Internet access and a drinks fridge in the reception. The staff and management were extremely friendly. Arron, Ruth, and le'ron are lovely people. The hostel is located in a great district of Eilat with cafes, bakeries, and local restaurants all around. For anyone who wants a great value stay in Eilat, this is it.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … Very friendly staff, some of the cleanest dorm bathrooms I've ever seen, air conditioned (or with a strong fan at least) rooms, decent beds, cool little main lobby area, a cute dog that lives on premises and pretty cheap. The only con would be that it's located in Eilat's hostel ghetto which is a little bit of a hike from the beach, but so are most hostels in Eilat.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … Spent about four nights there last summer. The place is very clean (rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, and common areas), unlike most other hostels. The staff is also great, all of them very friendly and informative, and speak great English. I stayed in a dormitory with four beds. Pretty small space and nothing fancy but does the trick. There's air conditioning, cheap internet access, decently priced breakfast, and you can even do laundry and rent snorkeling equipment. They also have a few lockers if you want to leave your stuff during the day without staying another night. Also, it's pretty cheap for Israel hostels, only 50 shekalim a night when I was there. It's about a fifteen-minute walk to the beach, and about a five-minute walk from the central bus station. Again, the highlights are the awesome staff, cleanliness, and price. Highly recommended.
Fawlty Towers Hostel in Eilat … The only place to stay in Eilat on a budget.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … I have stayed at dozens if not hundreds of hostels in the past seven years, and Biet H'arava is one of the best. It's clean, efficient, well located, and as cheap as can be. Yes it's basic (no breakfast or free towels), but if you're looking for a private room for two people look no further than Room 13. We stayed for three nights and the fantastic staff at the hostel was able to help us with everything from frantic phone calls back home, to internet access, and all the rest. All in all, I'd love to stay at this hostel for the rest of my life, should I have the benefit to return to Eilat.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … I stayed in this hostel for three nights, and I can only say, that it is one of the nicest hostels I have ever visited. Clean and comfortable rooms to a quite cheap price. Friendly and helpful staff. The hostel is located central and very close to the bus station -- great for those arriving by bus, who want a low budget vacation.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … The hostel only costs 50 shek a night (it is 60 shek if you aren't a student) and has been the cheapest hostel I have ever stayed at in Europe, the Middle East, and in the U.S. The workers are all friendly (one was standoffish though but still helpful) and there is always someone at the front desk. The location is a few minute walk from the bus station and easy to find. It is right next door to this Brazilian restaurant and the Nova hotel. It is a bit of a walk though to get to the tourist center where all the bars and clubs are (twenty minutes), but not that big of a deal. The best part of this hostel is that they are the cleanest hostel and have the best water pressure and always hot water. It is better than my shower at home. They serve breakfast but I never had it. Most people staying here just cook. The rooms are pretty basic but good enough. There is one computer you have to pay for to use the internet. Would definitely stay here again if I were to go to Eilat.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … My wife and I stayed here in April 2006. Excellent value. Superb facilities. Clean bathrooms and rooms. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They helped us sort out a problem we had with Avis car rental with numerous calls and faxes. We really appreciated the assistance from Eileen, Aaron and Yoni. This was the best hostel we stayed in during our two-week tour of Israel. No problems making a reservation over the phone.
Spring Hostel in Eilat … When I stayed there in March of '06, I had no problems. Rooms were reletively clean and the rates were more than reasonable!
