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.
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 … 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 … 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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 … I stayed there a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. August in Eilat is really expensive, but H'arava's prices were reasonable and the room was very nice -- clean bathroom, TV, air con. August in Eilat is also extremely hot, so a pool would have been nice -- but the price would go up. Good thing is, it is a fifteen-minute walk to the beach -- or go by taxi, which is ridiculously cheap and always go by meter! The staff were fun, helpful, and very friendly. A great place to stay!
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … This place has the friendliest owners and staff!! Great location and super clean dorms and bathrooms. There's also a kitchen for use, internet access, and snorkelling gear for rent up front.
Biet H'arava Hostel in Eilat … I've stayed at this hostel several times. All good experiences. It is clean and quiet. I shared a room with people once, had no problems, but the other times I had my own room with a friend or two which is always the best way. (basically I'm saying I never had anything stolen here.) It is cute, the staff were helpful and friendly, and it is convenient, walking distance to the bus stop and beach, and a longish walk/short cab to the movie theater and some eateries. It's also right next to a Brazillian bbq resturant, but I've never eaten there. I would give this four-and-a-half stars.
