Crown Sea Apartments

I stayed in one of the hotel rooms, not the hostel. Mine was clean and comfortable, though boutique-sized. There may be larger rooms. The hotel rooms are separate from the hostel, so that shouldn't be a concern if you're wondering about it. It's only a one-minute walk to the beach, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They even booked a cab ahead of time so I could catch my flight. It was a really good stay, and I'd come back.

I've stayed at Crown Sea for nearly a week in each of the last two summers. The rooms have been exceptionally clean, the beds comfortable, and the staff exceptional. Breakfast isn't mentioned when booking, but they always serve a great Israeli breakfast. Tea, coffee and lemonade are available around the clock. The location is perfect. You can see the beach at breakfast, and it's right in the coastal part of the city. The central districts are an enjoyable walk away, and most major tourist spots are nearby. The bus to the airport stops very close, making trips to and from Ben Gurion easier than from other parts of town. They're good to returning guests and might offer a better price if you book in person. Stay here!

This was my first hostel stay. The staff were always smiling, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was included, and there were free drinks like coffee, tea, juice and water. My dorm had six beds. There were only two bathrooms inside and one outside, but I never had to wait for a shower. The hostel is just 30 seconds from the beach and about 10-15 minutes from Carmel market.

The apartment was clean, had everything we needed, and the staff were kind and helpful. For our one night in Tel Aviv, we wanted to be close to the beach and downtown without paying too much. This place worked perfectly and was a great deal compared with other nearby options.
