Rothschild Mansion

This feels like a rooms-by-the-hour hotel, and the rooms aren’t fit for people. The pictures are misleading. I’ve added some updated ones. It’s a shameful, sad place that shouldn’t exist. The rooms smell awful and cost a lot. We found a couple of bugs, and the owner couldn’t send room service. The internet was so slow it was basically useless. We were also surprised by extra VAT charges when we arrived.

Everything seemed fine until the day before we left. Someone unlocked the flat, got into our belongings that had been locked up, and stole everything they could. It was a horrible last-day surprise. It’s hard to accuse anyone, but there were some strange coincidences. The person knew we were leaving the next morning, so we couldn’t make a police complaint, had a key to the flat, and we’d only told the owners that we were leaving the country the next day.

The place was clean and nice, close to Ziv center and the Technion. Iris is a wonderful person and helps with everything. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

The websites give a misleading impression. It’s just an apartment, not a mansion, and the furniture is old and dated.
