Amiad 13 | Hostel | $
For a totally different Tel Aviv experience, you can’t get much cooler than a hostel situated right on top of Jaffa’s crazy and scintillating flea market. The famous Old Jaffa Flea Market is bustling with tourists and locals shopping for the best deals on antiques, clothes, CD’s, rugs and furniture; and as night falls, the area turns into one of Tel Aviv’s hottest night life spots!
The hostel is in an old, beautifully renovated building with high ceilings and colorful floor tiles, balconies hanging over the market and a roof garden overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The hostel building is privately owned, clean and safe. They pride themselves on meeting all the modern standards you expect, while preserving the hostel’s unique ‘Old Guesthouse’ character.
Rooftop:
You enter through an old hole-in-the-wall hostel. You walk up a staircase of dirty carpets and rundown walls. You finally arrive to an elegant rooftop lounge hosted by friendly bar staff, delighted by delicious cocktails (especially the House Cocktail), and topped off by the amazing view of Jaffa’s flea market, beach and surrounding artsy buildings. Not only are the drinks fairly priced, but the atmosphere is like none other!
Word from the Group:
- “Old Jaffa Hostel is the best – cheap and pretty.”
