We got upgraded into one of their more recently renovated rooms, on 9th floor, facing south, what a view ! It had an opening sofa, perfect for our 5 y/o. You cannot complain about the venue location, 1 side on the beach (a lift takes you down straight to beach and beach side promenade, the famous one in TLV), street side you are on Hayarkon and can walk to Ben Gurion St via a protected side walk. Perfect location. The reception desk is tiny, not many are manning it, but they tried their best when we checked in. The security is as well managing the parking service (25$ a day,worth every penny). The rooms have all a small balcony with 1 chair and a table, the room itself was around 30 sqm, very pleasant, we stayed 5 nights and felt at ease inside, enough storage for our 3 large luggage. On the -1 floor, right above the beach, you will find the large pool with an opening roof, a good size renovated gym, and a new spa. Half a floor down they have a lounge, no kids allowed (strange in Israel, and 1st time my kid isn't allowed in a lounge), good food and basic alcoolic drinks, with a long balcony right on the beach front, you can enjoy seeing the Tlv lifestyle. Only con, their lounge security is light, and when my wife ran into a very rude man, who cursed her for not letting her in, unfortunately there was no hotel staffer until long after, we nonetheless formally complained about their guest behaviour, as it almost ended up into a physical assault on my wife. Anyway, can't blame the hotel for others guest behaviour, but for not being of assistance when it happened. Cleanliness in the room was an issue, we had a hard time getting this dome properly, it was obvious they weren't hovering the floor, so after 2 calls irs only by going to reception that they sent someone to properly clean the floor from crumble The breakfast is pretty good, lacking fruits though, which is a bad surprise in thr land of fruits, milk and honey. Our bedroom had a nice Illy espresso machine and a fridge we could use for ourself. The staff is v.friendly, and this was our 5th stay so far, so I believe we ll come back, I just hope they up thei game on properly cleaning the rooms, this problem is dragging for years. Thank you Mr Jacome and Ms Geidman for making our stay memorable, I hope we get the same service for our next visit !
