The description said there was breakfast, private bathroom, kitchen, free water, and no curfew. None of this was provided or was true. They locked the gate at night and we were locked in till 9 am. This is a major fire safety hazard. The common area was being used as a restaurant. Guests were made to feel we were nuisance. I spoke with other guests that felt that the same way. Honestly I wanted to leave but every other accomodation in the area was booked so I had nowhere to go. The staff repeatedly brushed past us, told us to move, or ignored us. No one ever said hi or smiled. This is my first negative review. I'm a positive person and try to find something good to say, but I can't for this hostel. Stay away!!!

It was ok, not the best but it was ok. The only complain I have is that I payed a tax because I live in Israel. I understood based of what I read that only citizens of Israel will pay this tax, I am not a citizen. Anyways, that´s my complain specially during this covid season having a guess should be a blessing not a way to perpetuate enemisties.

CAREFUL of what they offer...

Hotel is very INACCURATELY depicted on website. It is a HOSTEL, so all rooms are communal, nothing private other than the bed (and door barely locks), LOTS of MOSQUITOS, VERY OVERPRICED. Had a very uncomfortable stay, fighting off mosquitos, sharing the bathroom, begging for an extra blanket, etc. Things it lists as "in the room" are all things the hostel "has" but are not private to you. People who ran it were decent, good area/location, but definitely not worth $100USD! Asked for a refund, as it wasn't correct or reasonable, and they told us "no". Very disappointing.

V. good Hostel with a few annoyances

Let's get the negative out of the way. The dorm room seems to have a lot of spaces where mosquitos get in and I got bitten 3 times one night, giving me a restless night. From my dorm, the bathrooms/showers requires walking through a courtyard which in the winter/rain is most unpleasant. So the positives. The place is very clean and in fact the staff keep the place clean all the time. The beds and blankets where clean and it's obvious the staff great care to wash the beddings often. The place is very popular with guests, but there's always space somewhere for everyone to mingle or just do their own thing. The hostel provides a decent breakfast, mixed and varied and despite all the guests, there's more than enough to go round with staff keeping things topped up. The staff are just amazing, all smiles and really friendly and helpful. The Wifi is great especially when you consider the number of guests using it. Location wise, it's right on Ben Gurian Boulevard lined with restaurants, bars, shops and of course the street leads to the Bahai Shrine. The hostel is right outside several bus stops, so getting anywhere is very easy. There's a bar attached to the hostel and that too is a great place to hang out as the staff play a eclectic collection of music. All things considered, you get a lot for the price paid.

We stayed in the hostel for one night, in the family room, and must say that maybe our expectations were too high but the accommodation was not what I would have expected for the price. We were greeted with the most friendly staff, but the room itself was pretty rundown and dirty, and definitely not too welcoming (old furniture, waterleaks on the ceiling, rundown beds etc.). Also, we could not find the promised free parking lot, despite advice from the staff, but eventually managed to park the car at a nearby street. The complementary breakfast was pretty basic as well. On a more positive note, the internet connection functioned, the location of the hostel is central and after all, we were there only for one night. Cannot recommend the place to a group or family, as there are more comfortable and cleaner options available in Haifa for a cheaper price.

Udmærket hostel til en god pris, men man får også hvad man betaler for. Kan helt klart anbefales til unge rejsende. God service og gode muligheder for også at møde nye mennesker.

그냥 그럭저럭 나쁘지는 않았습니다. 전기만 괜찮았어도...

제가 묵었던방은 별실의 도미토리였는데 전기 코드가 안되더라구요. 핸드폰 충전도 못했습니다. 인터넷도 주방이랑 리셉션 근처에서만 가능했구요. 방은 별로였지만 샤워시설은 나쁘지않았습니다. 방과 다른 건물에 있어 조금불편했지만 그래도 남여 구분이 되어있어서 맘에 들었습니다.공동주방도 괜찮았구요. 위치는 굉장히 좋았습니다.
