I am an experienced traveler who has stayed in all sorts of accommodations and realize this place was a good deal for the Shekel, but I won't go back. Pluses- great location in old Yafo near the beach and walking distance to the shuk (market), boardwalk, good eats and historic architecture. However, room was tiny and smelled of sewage, bed was rock-hard and the staff was less than helpful and never there, particularly after 4 pm. There are lots of narrow, steep stairs to apts. and would be impossible for the elderly or disabled - no elevator. Pack light if u stay here.
