I’ve been to Eilat many times and sadly only now have I come to know this place. The hostel is basically doing everything right. The atmosphere is fantastic, the whole staff is super friendly and helpful. The place is very clean (honestly cleanest hostel I’ve stayed in, and I’ve been to many others). Overall we stayed 6 nights and absolutely enjoyed our stay. Wouldn’t stay elsewhere next time I’m in Eilat.

Ilan Argentina

Nice comfy place, enjoyed the quick check in and helpful staff, I liked having breakfast here, as I would have more time for myself later on. I got to the airport very easily. Also I was able to use the electronic mobile phone to check in :-) I'll be back.

Adrian Czech Republic

I wasn’t there for long but I liked that it was really clean. Within walking distance to the beach and the bus station. The staff was nice too!

Michelle Germany

The room was clean, very basic but clean which is more important.

Dedee Canada

I have enjoyed every minute. Everything was great.

Kholoud Israel

Located conveniently around the corner from the bus station.

Jacqueline Israel

Extremely cool staff, polite and professionals. The breakfast was outstanding and the whole vibe was relaxing and positive. Unique experience, one of the best hostels I ever been. The garden it’s a nice choice to chill during the night.

Emma Greece

Good value for money, just outside of the main Tourist promenade

Wouter Liechtenstein

I really liked the staff. The atmosphere was excellent, as well as dinner provided. Music, WiFi on the first floor and locations pleased me.

Kiradee Russia

Nice atmosphere, home feeling, great breakfast. Beautiful garden and places to chill outside.
