They have treated me so bad there

Looked good online. Came highly recommended. But the we arrived. Front door would not stay latched. Shower head leaked and sprayed water all over bathroom. Used towel to mop it up only to find out they charge extra for replacement towels. Noise all night long. Breakfast was good but they made us wash our dishes. Had to strip our beds and deliver sheets down stairs. Place is quit worn with sloppy maintenance. Absolutely not “very good”!

amazing place to spend the weekend, very good service i slept like a baby because the area is very quiet, there are shops nearby so you can go to eat lunch only 300 meters from the hostel, the crew is very kind and i felt like I'm staying in my family place, not in a hostel, the one that stands above all was Tommy great guy with very high service awareness, i will come again for sure :)

Personal service and hospitality are top of the pops. Very clean place in walking distance to: Bus station, Airport, food and shopping.
The hostel is well-organized and set like an oasis. Surrounded by a lush garden it offers rest and tranquility, even though it's set in close proximity to the city centre.
4.0 / 10.0
Easy walk to the bus station and good inexpensive restaurants. Good outdoor lounging space. Only concern was that my bunk room was stuffy and had no windows; not the best place to share with two guys who were sick.

I stayed here for 2 nights on my way to Jerusalem. Eilat is not a cheap town as accommodations can be expensive but the dorms are good value for what you get. The hostel is nicer than appears in the pictures with a garden area to hang out / socialize, good Wifi inside, clean shared bathroom and rooms with comfy beds and power outlets by the bed and a good breakfast.
It is well located and within walking distance to the airport, central train station and various restaurants / markets.
A dishonest taxi driver took off with my main luggage still in the trunk which is every traveller's nightmare and the staff Ruth and Tommy were very kind and empathetic of my situation. They took the time to help me call all the taxi companies around town and helped me deal with it as best they could. I would highly recommend this hostel.

The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was wonderful, with suggestions for places to eat and things to do. They were always cheerful and helpful. We were able to rent gear to snorkel for less than at the Coral Beach Nature Reserve. The only negative comment is that breakfast could have been better.
6.0 / 10.0
Checkin was friendly, quick and helpful. My room was tiny and depressingly dreary, but the bathroom was updated, bright and nice. I would happily have traded the tv for a bedside light. Location is a short walk from the bus station, and the downtown area was minutes away by foot. The continental breakfast was fine, and the instant coffee was actually ok. There is a beautiful patio out front, replate with couches, pinic tables, trees and a view across to the Jordanian mountains. As a nonsmoker, however, it was hard to find a place to sit that wasn’t smoke-filled.

The dorm has only a small window, and with 6 people the air gets unbrwathable in the night.
8.0 / 10.0
The hostel is in a good location and the staff could not have been more helpful. The rooms were basic and the breakfast was limited in choice. However, it was pretty low price so all in all good value for money.

If you're looking for is a nice, quite, small and cheap place then this is the place for you. Only 10 minutes by foot to the mall and beach. It's not a fancy hotel but if you're out most of the day you're gurenteed a great time
8.0 / 10.0
I will admit to being somewhat skeptical of a hostel. But it was Passover week and this was the cheapest place with an opening. This was a pleasant surprise. I did have a private room, which was a must for me. The environment was friendly with travelers mingling and good times and meals amongst each other. This is a place that is made by the people there and your openness to interact. If you don't want to interact, it's only about 20 minutes away from the beach. There are lots of places to eat around here as well. Very nice. I would stay here again.
