Abraham Hostel, Tel Aviv

close to international airport

I've been there before several times over the years, it's still one of my favorite hostels in the world, spacious dorms and common rooms. very good location, the new subway station right across the street makes it easy to avoid Levinsky rd when going to and from the hostel.

I'm still not sure how to use the stoves in the kitchen, I've used them many times to cook meals but every time there's a trial and error process involved with the digital controls.

Nice people

Very busy outside

location

Was great

Great yes please

The location was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. The sheets and towels were clean. The room was overall comfortable and spacious.

The cleaniless of the room was not to great. There was a lot of dust on lamp shades and side tables.. The facilities need maintennance as the bathroom was a bit moudly for example. The shower curtain was dirty but it was replaced upon mentioning it at reception.

great breakfast

decor could have done with a bit of sprucing up - but this adds to the charm

Great space!

Great location and facilities

Having to leave!

Very good vibes. Great location. Great breakfast.

A bit costly. Not sparkling clean

“I really liked how friendly and helpful the staff were. They made the stay feel very welcoming

“The room was a bit noisy due to passing car slightly affected the quality of my sleep".

I really liked the location,especially the easy access to the night life such as clubs and bars!really great for the youth!

That I didn’t got the chance to choose my room ,and I hope that the renovation will be soon be done!

Great place in the city center with its own atmosphere. Hearty breakfasts, comfortable beds, quite clean. Nice staff and contingent.

So poor soundproofing that it feels like the bed is in the middle of the road in a traffic jam between honking cars. I stayed here for about a week in total and I don't think I slept a single night because of the sounds from the street.

Location is great, the place has amazing character, spacious, super interesting place with lots of cool areas to hang out in

Some loud nights - that was hit and miss

The room was very spacious, even with 12 people there was plenty of walking space. Having your own shower and toilet in the room is certainly an advantage and gives a feeling of privacy. The bunk beds are very sturdy and so is the mattress. The breakfast is generous. A very professional hostel, set up to offer accommodation to many travelers.

No significant negatives.

I liked the rooftop

I thought the hallways were a little musty

The location. I was here when it opened in 2016.

All good.

It was very big. Lots of great views and the cat Sarah is very sweet

This was the first hostel I was expected to put sheets, duvet, and pillow case myself. Especially if you have bunk beds that will really difficult for people at the top. Thankfully, I got a bottom bunk. I just think they should consider just doing it themselves so others don't have difficulties. Also, my suitcase didn't fit in the lockers, so that made it feel unsafe cause I couldn't lock my stuff, and it was a carry on trolly

Nothing.. all are good and all the staff are good..👌

Nothing😊

Breakfast was excellent and the coffee and tea availability.

None

Dining and rest area on 1st floor and the roof.

For an included breakfast, it was great. Excellent location. Great roof and ground garden 2 fast elevators. Great self coock kitchen.

Like on Generator, it should be possible to to request high or liv bed.

Very nice reception service

The rooms are not ventilated and there is no window for ventilation. There is no chair or table to put things on. Very basic.

I and my family like the hospitality of their staff.

What we didn't like is the breakfast buffet coz there is no rice at all, only bread, salad and we are not used to it, but I believed it's their culture and this is not a big issue on us. Just an honest review only by a rice lover 😊 peace

Its a great hostel. I liked everything about the hostel, the interiors, exteriors, awesome kitchen with awesome breakfast. The lounge is amazing with amazing group activities on the weekends. The location is great but a little distant from the beach

Spacious room and bathroom. Good for a family. Enough beds. Nice staff.

Breakfast wasn't versatile. No cold drinks (water or juice) were served. Only coffee. Beds were fine, but not comfy for me (husband and kid didn't complain)

Great location—20 minutes’ walk to the beach and 5 minutes to a tram stop. The open roof on the third floor is amazing—an awesome place to enjoy a cold beer on a hot evening. Breakfast is good, with many healthy options. It can be a bit repetitive, but there's always the Delicatessen nearby for morning coffee and a light snack. The room was spacious and clean. Nothing fancy—it’s a hostel, after all.

Very good place excelente location the people Very helpful very good experience

The building has a really nice vibe, is clean, and offers many facilities. I was impressed to find a gym, and breakfast is included

While the place itself is really nice, the people staying here are wild. They screamed all night in the halls, and my roommates kept the lights on throughout the evening. One of them even opened all the curtains at 7 in the morning😭

After much upset with my first dorm (see below), I was put in a lovely female dorm = quiet, everyone respectful, ok bathroom attached. BREAKFAST!!!!!! It was really impressive: with veg, eggs, different cheeses, halva, choc spread, cappuccino, yoghurt!!!! It made such a difference to the start of the day - especially when restaurants are so expensive in Tel-Aviv. LEFT LUGGAGE.

I arrived early and the staff member did not even try to accommodate me to go to my dorm early - which is a shame as I could have complained about it earlier. In the end, I had to arrive after an evening with my family and the dorm was awful. My bed was so high, I could hardly get up - and had to disturb the person below me. It was full of old men who groaned, yelled, sighed, snored, coughed and shuffled endlessly all through the night. I felt unsafe and sure I was going to get ill (the only time I got Covid was in a dorm in Israel!) Every time I fell asleep, I was woken by one of the men. It was completely inappropriate to put a woman of nearly 60 in this space. In the end, I went to the front desk in floods of tears. Martin was helpful and put me immediately into the lovely clean, quiet female dorm - which had lots of spare beds. What makes me upset and disappointed is that I could have been put here in the first place ...

breakfast was very good

Kitchen was not clean

Comfortable and organized.

Room was a bit noisy.

Amazing staff.

We had an economy room for two: a spacious room with impossibly high ceiling, a kitchenette (including a microwave and a big refrigerator), a safe, a TV, a city view (even with a bit of the sea). The rooftop garden was lovely. The breakfast was simple but adequate, and no problem with coffee machines on Shabbat and such. Reliable Wi-Fi. Great location in the center, very close to Allenby subway station and the Rothschild boulevard. Nice and helpful staff. Also, I've attended the Language Exchange event on Saturday night, right in the hotel, and it was a lot of fun!

Everything is a bit old - peeling paint, mismatched furniture and such, but it's really a minor issue. Also the shower was quite cold on our first night (on subsequent nights it was wonderful).

Location, friendly staff Excellent breakfasts, tuna, corn, eggs, bread, vegetables. Friendly atmosphere in the dining room

There is not even a small threshold in the shower. When using it, all the water is poured over the entire shower and toilet bowl. After a shower, you can't go to the bathroom without shoes until the water dries. But in general, if you wash once, there is not much water. The bed creaked a little

It has everything you need and is in a good location. The breakfast is good value for money. I saved a lot of money on food with the breakfast.

They have way too many people in a room, they put 12 women in a room. We also had triple bunk beds. It caused problems that I would be sleeping in the night and then someone foot is hanging over nearly in my face. The woman on the third bunk kept complaining too that every time I got up it woke her up, there wasn’t a lot I could do, as I was getting up very quietly, it’s just not a comfortable situation for anyone. They have a lot of space and facilities, I think they intentionally fill up one room and leave the next one empty, as it’s never fully booked right now. They really should just open another dorm so we can feel more comfortable and get along. Most of the women there are there longer term, and it creates a lot of tension having 3 women sharing a bunk, and 12 women sharing one bathroom. I don’t think putting women in a triple bunk was intended for a long term thing, more just for weekends occasionally if the place is fully booked. But it’s really not nice to put a woman stuck up there for a week or more. Another issue, the bathrooms are coed outside of the room. I am not comfortable with this, and u really wish they would insist to men not to walk around the hallways in justa towel.

Breakfast was very good. Staff were good in emergencies; missile alert and nearby security incident.

An earlier 07:00 breakfast would have been convenient, but probably not justified for them.

The best thing the Abraham has going for it is it's welcoming vibe. It was the perfect place for what I needed to do that week. The beds were perfect, sheets were clean / crisp and the walls were thick enough that noise was not a probelm. I was impressed with how quickly everyone arrived to the shelters in the middle of the night caring for each other along the way. I was also impressed that even though there was a free music festival the first Friday night I was there, when I got home by 9:30pm, the crowds were gone and it was quiet. I loved the art on the wall and the overall welcoming atmosphere and the fact that people came of all ages and walks of life. Being able to do work in the breakast room or meet with other people over a cup of coffee was very nice. The trip from the airport was also very easy by way of the trains.

The floor in the room could have used a bit more cleaning and the refrigerator was kind of worn out. I really did not need it but it did freeze anything I put in there!

The location was great. Right next to a metro station, which made it easy to get around the city. The staff was helpful, and the rooms were clean.

Room was ok but very noisy at night. Lots of arguments in corridors! Didn't feel safe.

Breakfast was poor. Poor selection of foods. Children playing noisily in breakfast area.

Best hostel in Israel.

Nothing always good.

The staff was very helpful. I liked to cares Sara the cat. It was nice to have a place just to sit and do my things in the breakfast area also later after the breakfast. I had the nice time on the roof with a beer.

I am a carnivore so I did miss some meat at the breakfast. Also, it would be nice to have some juice to drink on breakfast. I'm not spoiled, so for 4 days it's OK. But you did asked 🙂, so I'm answering😄 Unfortunately the fridges for guests and the area for cooking where not clean enough, could be much cleaner. The beer was really expensive

Roof top, large lounge room. Dorms good. Awesome breakfast

Kitchen so unclean. Couldn’t find a spoon. No milk or sugar to have with the tea and coffee.

Helpful desk staff. Quite good breakfast though it was only served from 7:30, so we had to miss it when we had early starts. Good location for transport - light rail station just across the road. Agreed to store our luggage for a few days at no charge.

Stairs in the middle of floors and elsewhere where they didn't seem necessary. Room not serviced in the 5 days we were there. A few things in need of repair eg water fountain on our floor. Quite expensive for what was on offer.

The rooms were a decent size. I liked the rooftop. It was good that breakfast was included.

Even with the lifts, there were still stairs I had to go up and down with my luggage which was difficult. The lounges in the common room were filthy. I did not like that there was music playing in the common area. Others said the same. We were trying to talk, do emails, play piano, have quiet time, read, the music was not helpful for any of it!

Price, location, breakfast.

Would have liked shampoo, conditioner, body soap in shower provided by hostel.

Location The staff was nice and helpful

Room I lived in didn’t have windows

Great location! Close to many restaurants and pubs.

The rooms could be a little bit cleaner.
