Liked: Breakfast was included, what was just a cake and coffee in the hostel nextdoors. Wi-fi in the room. The hostel is located just 3 min from the beach in a good area.

Disliked: The room was a bit cold. The airco didnt heat and there were narrow gaps around it, through which cold air from outside came into the room.

Liked: Very nice people work in this hostel. WC and shower are clean and there are always tissue. Location is nice too, it tooks 2 minute to go to the sea. and there are a lot of good cafes near the hostel. and free wifi in rooms!

Disliked: the room was not new, it needs to be repaired and cleaned better. the hostel's location is good but the street is very noisy even at night and in the morning so sometimes we had problems with sleeping

Liked: Location was quite alright.

Disliked: The only place i've ever stayed that it was actually way hotter indoors than outdoors.... Very small rooms and not friendly staff. NOT a hostel, but a cheap hotel, in the sense that a hostel actually helps travelers. Wifi ONLY in the entrance lobby and 5euro to keep the bags there just for a few hours. It was a bad bad night...

Liked: Only the location.

Disliked: A dead scene; some of the staff where very rude. When i tried to extend my stay the staff attempted to overcharge. Luggage storage on checkout day is charged (1st time after 12 months of hosteling around the world). Breakfast / coffee is inedible. Cleanliness is poor etc etc. The only redeeming trait was the location but there are better hostels in the area (especially if traveling as a group and booking a private room at one of the guesthouses, there is one right on the beach which is incredible value)

Liked: The location of the hostel was great. Luckily I was nearby the shower/bathroom.

Disliked: The room stunk like the inside of a homeless guy"s asshole, and because there was no AC you had to open the window to get some fresh air. During the night the heat from 7 bodies in one room became so unbarable that I would wake up in a pool of my own sweat with the flies promptly knawing away at my sweaty carcass.

Liked: Location is very good. I had a single room and that was a rather good one ( dorms seem to be less quality... ).

Disliked: Breakfast is at another hostel: Momo's and is only bad coffee and a cake - no continental breakfast at all.

Liked: The location was really good, just next to the beach and not far from the market. The rooms and toilets are clean.

Disliked: The rooms are hot and noisy, and not all the staff makes you feel welcome. the kitchen is almost disgusting and badly equipped, and the breakfast is not much of a breakfast.

Liked: I think Sky hostel is in a really good location in Tel-aviv and its nice and cheap :)

Disliked: I guess the bed sheets could be cleaner :) and it would be a plus if the roof was fixed in each room so it doesn't accidentally fall on you during night like it did with us :(

Liked: Good location, helpful staff, it was possible free of charge to leave baggage prior check-in and after check-out and possibility to use shower for reasonable price after check-out.

Disliked: At first room had quite strong smell of chlorine, but after airing the room for 10-15 minutesm smell faided. In the lobby saw one cockroach, but in rooms did not saw any. Overall, these small issues should not hold you back to choose this hostel for your stay.
