    Too expensive for what you actually get. Nice location, but tiny room and noisy.

    The acoustics at the hotel are horrible - you can hear EVERYTHING that's going on in the hallway or the other rooms. Super loud.

    The location is great, even though it’s not actually on Shenkin street. There are many cafes around and you can walk to almost anywhere in Tel Aviv.

    some rooms are laid out awkwardly. detail to cleaning could be improved for example the drinking glasses were never washed or replaced in the room even when it was obvious that they were used and dirty.

    good location. roof top terrace is nice.

    Nice clean place in the center of Tel Aviv

    There was no parking availably - not at the hotel and not nearby, so I had to put my car in a parking lot 1km away. Another troubling issue was that on check-out day, I found someone cleaning my room in the morning, before checkout time! (with all my stuff still in the room!)

    The room was small but very clean, no coffee makes (you could make coffee at the lobby, but it's not as convenient..) The hotel is located at the center of the city - walking distance to most points of interest.

    the A/C did not work in our room. The expectation from a boutique hotel is that everything about it will be very well designed and high quality. We got the impression that they rushed to check off all the trappings of a boutique hotel, but missed the essence. at more than $300 a night, our expectations were higher.

    The hotel is placed in a great location, the staff was friendly and helpful, the place was clean, and the beds comfortable.

    We felt that the staff were a bit rude and abrupt. Perhaps it's just a Tel Avivian attitude because it's not like that in the Southern part of Israel where we live. Patience and respect is all that is needed.

    Room was standard, relatively newly refurbished, hot and cold drinks provided downstairs as and when needed. Amazing location, near to all amenities, shops and so forth.

    the room was tiny, even though it was referred to a superior room. the price was high for a room only, even without breakfast. we spent over 1000 Shekel. another thing we didn't like was the fact there are only 5 parking spots on site, which were already taken, and we spent a huge amount of money in the parking lot situated in the same street as the hotel (Brenner Street). some kind of discount for hotel guests at the parking would have been appreciated.

    the staff was very nice and courteous. we loved the fact there was always coffee and tea available. the location us great, very fun area

    The devil is in the details

    • Stayed 1 night

    The Devil is in the details. Started with the reservation process, when they couldn't charge my card, for myterious reason (which later on they admitted about a problem in their system) but as far as the room: Free water bottle in the room is nice, but on ours the seal was broken and it was over-filled which made3 it a bit suspicious, sleepers used by previous guest were left under the bed (even after I told them they didn't remove it), the sink water hardly drained, the shower side glass walls weren't sealed properly and after the shower the bathroom was filled with water. We were very disappointed.

    Location was great. Lobby very pleasant, with nice touch of coffee, tea and cookies available 24 hours a day.

    Looks like the room was not cleaned before we arrived. Hairs on the toilet, towels and bed linens. Stains everywhere. This hotel needs renovation, cleaning will not do it.

    Great location and beautiful hotel, noisy executive rooms

    • Couple
    • King Executive Room - Upper Floor
    • Stayed 8 nights

    We were in one of the two executive rooms on the top floor that are very beautiful and comfortable but there are some structural problems in the building, this is why I have put such a low rating. The most important problem is that there is a power generator on the rooftop that creates a buzz day and night. In the first couple of nights that kept us awake, then we got used to it. Maybe it's better to stay in one of the cheaper non-executive rooms that should be less noisy. Also, in our room we were able to open only one window and just for a little bit, so there was very little very little air circulation. All other windows were sealed, including the bathroom window. Staff were very helpful in terms of offering us the second executive room which was slightly less noisy but these problems could not really be resolved unless the management makes changes in the building, which I hope they do because otherwise it's a beautiful hotel in a great location.

    Excellent location, large room, beautiful furniture, friendly and helpful staff, free tea/coffee biscuits at the reception, beautiful roof garden

    I know Israel is expensive but compared with hotels in Europe this is a 3 stars hotel in the price of at least 4 stars. not very clean, a bit old. only one socket in the room, so I had to charge my iPad in the shower. mattress wasn’t so comfortable. quite noisy: when the room next door took a shower at night, the noise was very loud and I couldn’t sleep. they offer a breakfast in a nearby cafe, but the cost of the breakfast without the hotel voucher is 2 euros cheaper.

    the location is very central, the Lobby is nice and functional and have some nice tables on the street where you can enjoy free coffee and cookies.

    I didn't like the location of the hotel, it was in a very poor neoghborhood, not near any good places like resgaurants or mall. Hotel is not what it looked like in pictures. Not very clean, my bathroom clogged the very first day, and i saw coackroaches. Tarrace is not worth the hype. Price is very expensive for the hotel, location and everything. Not worth it.
