The best thing about this hotel is its location in Old Jaffa near the Flea Market. It’s very handy to walk around the old town, and is close to many good bars and eateries.

Really this is a great property right in the midst of the Jaffa Flea market and 2 minutes from the Clock Tower. So it is close to everything including the beach where we swam each morning before breakfast at one of the many great places to eat. The apartment was spacious and clean and well appointed. I would only warn people it does involve stairs and i would only say that a bit of fresh paint and new curtains would just add that winning touch as it looks a little "tired".

Location is great! Old jaffa with nice sunset and ocean views. Neighborhood around has many restaurants, flea market. We had a nice balcony view of the jaffa street. But hotel has no amenities, shower with water leaking into the bathroom. Tea pot is disgusting.

be careful what you pay for
The picture and description shows/says apartments. Mine was a tiny room with a coffee maker for self-catering, and a fridge which kept one awake at night.a vanity cupboard under the basin which was rotting away. The entire room was app 9ft by 8ft plus a shower/toilet/basin app 5ft by 2.5ft. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The door was so badly fitting that every word said by people in the hall was heard inside the room. You get what you pay for in this world and I went for cheap, but this verges on misrepresentation. A tiny room (no; 4). An apartment this was not. Its only asset was somewhere to sleep, so every waking hour had to be spent in tel aviv, and that is more expensive than staying in a decent hotel with a public area/lounge, room service and so on. I partly blame myself for not checking before I paid in advance. Even though the management appeared to be helpful, I could never recommend this so-called "apartment", which by the way does not have a lift as far as I could see, but very steep stairs for middle to old age people from the entrance.

Convenient stay near Tel Aviv
A small but convinient room near the Clock Tower in Jaffa. The room was situated on first floor with a window facing a rather scruffy back yard. The room was quiet and I could sleep well at night. There was a fridge and a shower in the room so I think I got great value for the money I spent for the room.

Clean, good AC. Very well located. Rooms are extremely loud as situated directly on a busy street. Windows are very, very old and don't close properly, which is the cause for exacerbated noise. Staff were helpful otherwise.

Good location on the edge of the flea market and under 5 mins walk to a sandy beach, Rm 10 is at the top of 3 flights of steep stairs. It's a basic room with very small shower room. There are no external windows. A very small sitting room is shared with Rm 8.This has a tin roof with open edges which allows birds in (and they have left their mark all over the room and seats !). At £160 for 3 nights it offers good value in a town where decent rooms are very expensive.

Great place to stay, especially if you enjoy street music and fun. It has the Greenwich Village vibe. Friday 9PM to 2AM concert right under our balcony was unexpected, but we enjoyed it. The place is just a few blocks from the seashore. Every shop is a restaurant, bakery, or a small store. Famous Jaffa market is a block away. The building is in old colonial style – high ceilings, great windows, balcony all around the apartment. Very nice view, especially at night. The greatest challenge was getting in the 3rd floor. The elevator has the mind of its own, and may refuse to move. The apartment itself is clean, convenient, and pleasant. I would definitely stay there again.

You get what you pay for. I stayed in a one room apartment which was very makeshift and basic. But the location is fantastic if you want to experience Jaffa especially if you are on a budget. Snuck a peak at one of the larger apartments which looked a lot nicer

Worn down rooms with questionable cleaning routine
The first room I got had a very powerful foul smell from the drain which really made it hard to get comfortable. The toilet was also not cleaned at all. When I complained the staff was friendly and gave me a new room, which was better cleaned and without smell. The rooms are worn down and need some maintenance.

Excellent choice for a short stay close to all places of interest. Great apartment, middle of the old town, excellent value. The only down side is noise from the street, but that is to be expected in a location such as this. Overall highly recommend.

We had to call the health dept.
When we arrived at the hotel, which then advertised a shuttle but when we arrived required and expensive taxi, they attempted to give us a windowless room that contained fungus and hair, clearly it was not clean or even the bed sheets changed since the prior occupants and the partitions were of plywood so it was a fire trap. We took pictures and are working with local authorities on this problem. Moved to a proper room after significant discussion hotels.com very kindly provided credits to make up for the hotels falsehoods about providing shuttle or taxi service. Note there is a serious flight of stairs before the lift and the lift is unsafe with no interior door. The hotel was advertising itself as disabled accessible. They have been changing their website since so make sure you take a screenshot if you decide to gamble and book. We met another couple from Russia who booked on a different site and had the same problems. The pictures of the hotel are actually from a real four star hotel across the street... this hotel consists of three narrow buildings with ongoing construction and roof top debris and non working locks especially on exterior doors and windows. Presently in the process of submitting this evidence to hotels.com to have this establishment removed from the site once we are able to organise an inspection with the Tel Aviv tourism and Fire marshal offices. Photos are "upgrade" room.

The room is very small, but suitable for a short stay. The great thing about this place is it is so close to everything in Jaffa. It can be noisy as its located close to the Jaffa centre, so the prayer towers are going, and on the weekend the music and clubs are close by. Bathroom was small and water leaks and has nowhere to drain away so its a bit of a pain. The bed is very dated and mattress lumpy. Hasn't been cleaned for months underneath, filthy. But you pay for what you get, the hotel is located close to everything, it was a cheap room so these are minor points when you are paying this amount in Tel Aviv.

Awfully dirty and rude staff
Rundown flats that need complete renovation. Tired furniture, peeling paint, dirty fridge that still had splattered pasta sauce all over it from the last guests. The only saving grace was that the sheets were clean and the bed was comfortable. We stayed there for the convenient location as we had an event in Jaffa.

Cheap and Good For Money But Could Be Cleaner
Stopped just the one night at the Clock which can be a little difficult to find but we did eventually. We arrived late and as we didn't have internet didn't realize we had had entry details sent by email. We found the intercom which was a little hard to hear but eventually worked out what we needed to do and found our room. The room was quiet spacious and had a split level so there was a TV and sitting area. A bedroom beneath and kitchen and bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the pillows and quilt of good quality. However the pro's stopped there. Everything else I would say was average to poor. We found the room could have care and cleaning. The floor was gritty and the kitchen and bathrooms a little gritty from not enough care being taken cleaning. Especially around the sinks and wetter areas. The location is amazing but probably wouldn't stay again mainly due to the cleanliness issues.

One memorable day in Jaffa
Had a fantastic stay at the Clock for one night. Location is superb right at the heart of Jaffa, a city full of colour and character. It's a must-go for anyone spending time in Tel Aviv. The Clock is situated right in the restaurant, souk area with the flee market right next door and the beach with the best sunset view within a 5 min walk. The operator of the premise also runs a wine shop with delicious Israeli wine which blows me away in terms of price performance. If you missed your chance to visit vineyards up the Golan Heights then this is an opportunity to sample it. Service was efficient and attentive. The operator also helps arrange a ride to the airport, all smooth and no fuss.

Great Restored Hotel at the Heart of Jaffa
Excellent location. Good service, clean, good air conditioning, bed, bathroom. No elevators. Double ceiling height makes the stairs difficult and not a place for old people or heavy luggage. Other than that is a great cost/benefit option. I would go back to this place. A little noisy at night, until 11 PM

Visiting Israel
This Apart Hotel in the heart of old Jaffa (Tel-Aviv) is the best we got in our trip in Israel. We got a living room with a small kitchen and a bedroom with a nice bathroom for the price of a normal room in others hotels. Plus you are at the heart of Old Jaffa with restaurants, bars and cafes just down the stairs. Great place to enjoy urban life in Tel-Avid
