Hotels near Urban Gallery, Tel Aviv

What passed for a five star hotel in Tel Aviv in the fifties—or even in the eighties when this hotel was seemingly last updated—is no longer competitive. The hotel feels tired and sorely in need of updating and maintenance. Room furniture is beat up and worn, with really shabby carpet—at least in the deluxe city-view room category—and the pool area is sorely in need of a refresh and better maintenance—glass surrounding the deck area seemingly has not been washed in decades, reminding me of NYC subways in the seventies. The elevators are also really depressing, like a Time Machine to the days when Israel was a developing country. But what really lets the hotel down is the breakfast buffet. The dining room is poorly arranged, making even just reaching one’s table akin to navigating an obstacle course. And securing coffee is nothing short of an ordeal. A coffee stand staffed by just one server generates lines of guests worthy of a high school cafeteria. And if you should want milk for your coffee, it is not on offer at the coffee station or at the table. You have to go clear across the dining room to the cold cereal section of the buffet with your hot cup of coffee. And the food offerings just don’t compare favorably with what the competition is doing. But, front desk staff were helpful and welcoming, which cannot always be said about everyone in the Israeli hospitality industry.

Service was amazing and the hotel was wonderful. Great location with clean comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. Breakfast was incredible and 18th floor lounge was first class. Will definitely return on my next visit. To the Sheraton staff a very big thank you.

The 2300 hotel is similar to the domestic Samsung, with small rooms and poor facilities. Because it was a Marriott member, it was upgraded afterwards, but the area is the same and it is slightly renovated. There is a lounge upstairs, which is more confusing, and eats almost the same type as breakfast. Downstairs public beach. There are many restaurants and bars left and right from the hotel. Take a taxi to the station and Jaffa about 100 Shekels. Go to the airport 140 Xie Keer, come back from Jordan decisively choose to live in a bed and breakfast

Located on Tel Aviv Beach, the hotel has a sea view and a balcony with views. The room is small, the facilities are OK, the breakfast is not bad. The Sabbath buffet dinner is more expensive, and the monks are 300 shekels. The front desk staff is very friendly, but the work efficiency is low.

The hotel location is very good, the beach is opposite, walk to Jaffa for more than an hour, walk along the beach and watch the scenery, very comfortable, a lot of locals on vacation, the beach scenery is very good, the breakfast is rich, there is a swimming pool, business , Travel is very good choice, free upgrade, thank you very much.

1. It is very convenient to come from the airport or train station. Tel Aviv has three railway stations, and the nearest railway station to the hotel is Tel Aviv Ha'Hagana Station. After getting out of the station, take a bus across the road, four stops and walk for three minutes. Of course, you can also take the bus 445 directly from the airport, but there is only one bus at one stop. It takes about 10 minutes by train from the airport to Tel Aviv Ha'Hagana Station. 2. It is about 25 minutes walk from the hotel to Jaffa Old City, about 20 minutes by the sea, and 15 minutes from Neve Tzedek community (there are many cafes, restaurants and galleries). We go in winter, if you want to enjoy the beach, it is best to choose a hotel by the sea. Mainly concentrated on the beach a little north. There are many buses around to reach all the attractions. 3. The room is small and the club room we booked is not large. But you can see beautiful sea and city views, and the sunset is beautiful. The Club Room has access to the Executive Lounge, which has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, and offers light drinks throughout the day. The room does not provide toothbrushes, electric kettles, toiletries are L'Occitane, and the taste is very good. 4. Breakfast is provided in the hotel's bar, so many seats are not very comfortable and richer than our hotel in Jerusalem, but the variety should be complete. All in all, it is a qualified comfortable hotel, such as the domestic all season Atour, not a star hotel.

The room size is moderate, the bathroom is big enough, and the hot water comes out quickly. The only bad thing is the breakfast. Apart from eggs, there are only three types of meat dishes, smoked fish, which are not suitable for my stomach. Front desk staff are very enthusiastic and professional Opposite the gate is a life supermarket, next to the mall, 8 minutes walk from the train station, 20 minutes by train to Ben Gurion Airport, 9 new shekels, super cost-effective.

Great location at the 'entrance' to Jaffa with views of the sea, broad walk up the coastline with all the modern high rise of Tel Aviv. Old city behind has lots of charm, restaurants etc. One morning we comfortably walked along the seafront right up past the Hilton and back as well as all around the port area / centre of Jaffa. Hotel is beautifully and tastefully restored / built, it is charming and stylish. We felt welcomed on check-in (I think it was Dean) and although arrived early, our room was ready. We had booked a basic room but were very fortunate to get upgraded 2 levels to an Executive Room on the 4th floor (with access to Lounge). We overlooked the roundabout, views of sea and coastline, totally lovely. Room is beautifully designed, very comfortable, good size, fabulous large bathroom with separate rain shower. We were here 2 nights only which included Holocaust Memorial Day so all restaurants/leisure closed from 6pm in the whole of Israel. Luckily hotel catering remains open. One would have thought that as a guest of the hotel, they should make sure that there is space in their restaurant and only keep it for in-house guests. It was not the case. No space in restaurant but managed to eat in the bar which serves a limited 'milk' menu including sushi. It was still pleasant, we ordered a pizza to share which was decent. The lovely Sophie made the experience more pleasant and kindly remembered we wanted some milk to take back to our room for our Nespresso in the morning! A note on the 'Mediterranee', the Lounge incase you need to decide whether to book a room with access. It is only open 12:30-6:30 so great if you usually have lunch and beverages. The food is top notch. A fabulous, delicious and well presented array of mainly mezze dishes including various cold fish, some hot dishes (pasta and vegetables) as well as fruit and some sweet things. Wine, tea/coffee, some spirits but couldn't see any mixes apart from fruit juices. Lovely deck outside to sit and relax. Only negatives - staff can be a bit aloof and not very attentive or proactive, especially up on the pool area for service and cleaning up. - bed linen felt cheap (though towels nice), not high cotton count like one gets at most 5* properties I have been to Tel Aviv a couple of times before for business and stayed in one of the modern luxury high rise. If I came back, this is the only hotel I would stay in.

The room is small, the floor is tiled, not wooden. Such an expensive hotel has no wooden floor and is not graded. The windows are low quality and not soundproofed. Noisy roads can be heard at night. The most terrible thing is that they didn't tell the guests that this hotel was a psychiatric hospital before. The inside was really scary. It felt like the ghosts who died in the psychiatric hospital were still there. Do not really recommend it to Chinese tourists.

Very good location. The breakfast was included and it was absolutely amazing: lot of options, delicious food and outstanding quality and taste. It is very dificult to find a good hotel at a resealable price in Telaviv. This hotel is my favorite option when I travel to Israel. Highly recommended.
