Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
I stayed at the Golden Beach in Tel Aviv and paid the equivalent of $56US a night. The location of the hotel is pretty good, as it is directly across the street from Yerushalayim Beach, the Opera Tower shopping center, and within walking distance to main streets such as Hayarkon and Allenby. It's also very easy to hail a taxi from the hotel. The staff all speak English and are nice, and breakfast was honestly good, although it was Passover, so where was no bread. My room was huge, very modern, had a fridge, a sofa bed, king sized bed, and clean bathroom. My complaints: No remote control for the TV and accessing TV channels is a bit dificult, as the menus are all in Hebrew (but I'm sure if you ask the front desk to help, they would. I just figured it out by pressing lots of buttons), and noise!! My room overlooked a parking lot that was loud until 4-5am, but Tel Aviv is a late partying city. I would stay here again, though I would request a quieter room on a higher floor.

This hotel charged us 90-100 euros (variable rate) per night for a double room and breakfast - far too much! Although the room was large, it was grubby, with cracked laminate flooring, dirty paintwork and windows. The bathroom was tiny, with very old tiling and fittings. The reception area was similarly dirty, with tired, torn seat coverings. The dining area seemed clean, and the breakfast was adequate - typical Israeli spread of cheese, pickled fish, good bread, hot eggs and Middle-Eastern dips. The coffee was not so good. Reception staff (like many service staff in Israel) seemed surly and disinterested, but they did get things done (ie ordering taxis, and providing bus information) when asked. The hotel location is great - right in the middle of Tel Aviv and next to the beach, but it really needs some work. By European pricing standards, I think our room was worth 40-50 euros.

I arrived after midnight, a single female from USA. I confirmed with the hotel and specifically advised them that I was arriving very late and I must be guaranteed a room. I took a cab from the airport to the hotel, physically and mentally exhausted after a long flight, only to be told by the hotel's front desk that even though I PAID IN FULL, they had NO available rooms for me and they called a hotel a few blocks inland to give me a room!!! I was expected to walk the streets at 1am with my luggage by myself (my first time in the middle east) to an unknown hotel that I wasn't able to check out ahead of time. Upon entering the hotel (unlike the atmosphere the website pix), it has the feel of a youth hostel or YMCA; dingy is putting it mildly. A kid (don't think he was 21) with a bandage on his hand was the only worker available in the small hotel (so much for security). The only thing that saved me from walking out into the middle eastern darkness without a clue was that the hotel lobby had free wi-fi and I opened up my laptop and booked another room with an American hotel instead. A cab was sent to pick me up and bring me safely to the other hotel. An expensive lesson. Even thinking about my experience with Golden Beach MOTEL fills me with tears of rage and disbelief at the helplessness and horror that almost gave me the worst impression of Israel before I even got to see it!

Oh... my... word... This place is so bad. Seriously.
Disgusting place to stay in:- - No sound proofing - noisy at night from the road - Smelly - Filthy carpets - I had to throw my travel slippers away. I didn't want them back in my suitcase! - Filthy, run down shower room with missing fittings and blocked pipes - The lights work, but are almost falling off the wall. - Door frame cracked and broken as if someone had tried to kick the door in. - Lock jammed, difficult to close or open. Actually couldn't get out of the room a few times. - WiFi (amazed that this hotel even had this) was free but also totally useless. - Anything you pay is too much to stay here. They should pay people to try to stay here.
Trying to be fair, the good points which do not make up for the rest:- - View - Location - Bed (basic, but at least I could sleep in it). Seemed kind of clean. - Staff were nice. I felt sorry for them having to work in a flea-pit - Someone takes the trouble to lay out breakfast in a reasonably nice way, but I only ate anything that was not exposed to the air (such as yoghurt in pots) because of the flies.
I had to stay here because a business colleague booked it and we were staying in the same place. If I had a choice, I would have left the first night. No way in a million years would I let anyone I know go near this place, let alone stay in it. Never.

A shabby, filthy, stinking place. They charge you at check-in instead of at check-out, because they know you will never pay after you have seen the room. They claim to be a 3-star place - with all the broken locks, rusty utilities, damaged lamps hanging from the walls, adhesive-tape-supported shower taps, wornout furniture. The hair-dryer is to be asked for at the reception and returned after use. No toiletries - just the containers with cheap liquid soap by the sink and in the shower, the latter empty. On the second day of our stay, the entrance door to the room FELL ON ME when I tried to shut it - only then they moved us to the best room they had, actually the only decent one they had.

So, I booked two nights to have something settled when I came to Tel Aviv. I didn't really check around much, didn't have the time and it looked OK on the hotels.com website. Well, it wasn't ... The only word that comes to my mind is DISGUSTING !!! Dirty and dusty just doesn't cover it, because on top of that the room was in such poor condition I imagine it would be cheaper to tear it down and build a new hotel than to try to get the current in a decent condition. OK, let's start with the standard of the room ... Minibar: Small, extremally dirty frig that didn't work. Well, the light worked, but not the rest. AC: True, but you have to turn it off if you want to sleep, and trust me, I usually sleep like a dead. Bathrum: The shower was assembled over a jacuzzi that's never been functional. It wasn't connected. Nice touch, though ... Otherwise, cracked tiles, mysterious waterleak, mould in different colors and shapes. Toilet worked, sort of ... The bed: OK, but please, burn the linen !!! The room in general: As above, filthy is a mild expression. Add lamps unstuck from the walls and broken equipment. The friendly personnel: Multilingual, in both hebrew and russian (my russian is so, so) and looked like they were recruited from the Russian maffia. Breakfast: Ok, coffee machine fine, don't touch the fish !!! Anything positive? Yes, the location, smack on the beach. It was great sitting in front of the hotel, watching the Quassam missiles come in. So, was this like a good deal, really cheap or something? Nope, moved out after two nights and picked an hotel two blocks down the street, The Savoy, roughly the same price (slightly cheaper) and in (as far as I can see after just moving in) in an excellent condition and hey, the slipped in a note "what to do when the missiles comes" ... great service so far ;)

I stayed there three nights in three different rooms, that were dirty and humid. You can get a room with a sea view, which is nice, but also means that it's very noisy as the street on the beach front is a fast lane.
The first night I had a very tiny room with no safe, a minuscule bathroom (the toilet was practicallly in the shower) and a lot of humidity. I travelled to Jerusalem and then came back, when they put me in a much bigger room, infested with ants, flies and other insects. I asked to get another room, but they said that the hotel was fully booked, so I had no choice but to sleep there. I woke up the next morning full of insect bites. When asked for a discount, the manager refused to give any, claiming that he updgraded me to this room which had a view on the sea (something I had never asked for). The next night they moved me to another room which wasn't infested with insects.
I realised halfway through that I had stayed at the Deborah hotel of the same chain (Arcadia hotels) a few years ago, and had also had a dreadful experience. I would therefore not recommend any of their hotels as they're dirty, the service is dreadful, and frankly for what they're worth, they charge an extortionate price.
