    Some showers had leaking shower handlers or disattached hooks. The door to the 6-person room was not closing from outside.

    The personnel was very friendly and helpful. The hostel is clean and has everything in the kitchen. There is a restaurant at the hostel.

    It’s not that I didn’t like it but more of a recommendation. Dorms could have individual lights for each bed, as well as a small night stand. A good addition could also be curtains for extra privacy.

    Location is perfect, very central and easy to move from

    The best hostel in Haifa!

    The shower area Is clean at all times including the toilet but the shower area could be improved like a place to hang your stuff, the shower hooks are broken and needs replacement, it would also be best if there will be doors to lock it while you are taking a shower. Despite the minor improvements mentioned above, it was really an amazing stay and hoping that a lot of tourist visit these areas of Israel and not just Jerusalem or Tel Aviv alone.

    The staff and the owner of the hostel are very friendly and helpful. They will assist you with everything that you will be needing. The location is very close to most of the local attraction in Haifa and its neighboring places and I could say that its a better place for you if you plan to do a day tour to acre, nazareth and other nearby places. It will take you almost an hour or less from this area of haifa to get to the places I mentioned above. The bus station is literally just outside the place and its a good walking distance to get to the railway station. My stay includes breakfast and what they offer is pretty nice, local and freshly prepared breakfast menu by the in house chef. Tamer, the owner of the restaurant and hostel even promised to give me one night free stay since I checked out a day before my original checkout date.

    The only issue I can think of is not having a closing door to the bathroom/toilet area. Also, in that area there could be more hooks/shelves.

    The place was clean and spacious. The breakfast was good too.

    On our second night there wasn't hot water in the showers. For me the mattress was a bit too hard. It is not a bad thing but despite their description, they are not a party hostel.

    Nice location, clean hostel. Breakfast was simple: pita, salad, olives, humus and yoghurt, butter and two type of jams. Drinks: orange juice, tea and coffee.

    I think they could work on the cleaning a little more, meaning pesticides. You see some ugly 'insects' in the toilet area.

    Good location, You can catch bus, train in walking distance. The building is ok. It is located on a nice street, full of restaurants and cafés. Just prepare the pocket, you are in Israel. The volunteer staff is the best people on earth.

    One of the cleanest hostels I have ever stayed in— the volunteers work super hard and make it as clean and comfortable as my own home. Beautiful, spacious kitchen and very good bathrooms. I would happily stay there for much longer. There is a bus stop literally right outside the door, and plenty of restaurants and stores pretty close by.

    The sink was very often blocked and the bathroom equipment was a bit outdated. Also it would be nice, if we could have regulated the air conditioning ourselves. Some of us were freezing at night and the remote control was only used by the staff.

    The staff and the volunteers were super nice! I really enjoyed every talk with them. We had dinner together, they always invited me to have an Arabic coffee with them and they gave me a lot of hints for exploring Haifa. I really liked the big community areas outside and the huge kitchen. It felt like having a house together with family or friends.

    A hostel that is not worth the price we pay for every night. The Abraham Hostel in Tel Aviv had everything available in it, including bath towels and shampoo, And Good Food and at a lower price. Also, in the room in which I stayed, every time I wanted to turn off the light of the room, I needed to get up and walk out of the room. AND also The Breakfast Was Not Good

    The Staff Was COOL

    We stayed in the three-bed room. The top bank bed is so close to the ceiling that it felt suffocating and ended up putting the mattress on the floor.

    The common areas downstairs are great!

    I liked everything. I prefer a softer mattress, but that is just my personal preference, and that is not changing the 10/10 rating.

    Perfect location, a very friendly and helpful reception, a lot of fun around, Haifa gardens in a walkable distance just in 1 minute. I booked that hostel accidentally, and that is a lottery jackpot.

    It's a hostel, so the accommodations are nothing fancy. But they were quite adequate, and the staff and guests were fabulous. The kitchen wasn't so user friendly, the water machine wasn't functioning, and the oven obviously hadn't been used in quite a while. But this meant we ate at the restaurant and had a lovely breakfast in the morning, which was better. :D

    The staff was wonderful. We decided to stay an extra night, and they were very accommodating. We will definitely return.
