Hotels near Kalimba - Ethnic Music Store, Tel Aviv

The most delusional negative experience we had as a family. We booked rooms for 2 families. On the day of the vacation, when all the suitcases and children were already in the car and we were on our way to the hotel, we received a call from the hotel and found out that the hotel had made a mistake in the rooms, they booked for us 2 rooms for a couple instead of 2 family rooms (as written in the invitation we received by email !!!). The hotel noted that they do not have other rooms for us, the rooms were canceled and we will get a refund. From the hotel point of view that was it! No responsibility taken, no sorry, no other solutions, that it. They Just said ”it was your mistake” thanks, goodbye . So, we got stuck on the way to Tel Aviv with children and luggage in the car, without rooms and without an alternate hotel on Thursday at afternoon. What is even more delusional is that we sent a letter to the hotel's customer service after a few weeks. We explained the situation and asked that at least the hotel will take responsibility for the mistake. After all, if we would cancel the rooms on the day of arrival, the hotel would have certainly charge us the money in full, without an argument. Unfortunately, to this day I have not received any reference to the letter even though I called several times and asked for a response. I was promised on the phone that the hotel manager will response, but as mentioned, we have not received any answer to this day. It is important to note that all telephone calls and the letter were made in a pleasant language, without shouting and without unnecessary quarrels. But unfortunately in our country, you have to ”turn tables” to get any response. In short, I never encountered such a terrible service. I strongly advise not to come to this hotel at any price. Such a hotel has no right to exist.

considering that tel aviv is VERY expensive, don't expect motel-6. having said that, yes, the prices are better than reasonable, the rooms are clean and adequate, the staff is without doubt the highlight. brilliant location (check out the dimsum around the corner) - a no-frils place to set your head down after a day in israel's metropolis.

Great location overlooking the Mediterranean Ocean. Clean room with balcony. Highly recommend the robust breakfast buffet. They let us check in early which was wonderful. comfortable bed and great shower pressure ♥️. You can ride a bike or easily walk anywhere in Tel Aviv, felt safe.

Very well located, connected to one of the airport high speed railway station. So one can easily take the train from TLV airport and walk to the reception. Connected to a shopping mall and food court. Overall therefore very high degree of convenience. Room size is excellent (we were of course upgraded), and IHG status genuinely honoured (even if you have booked through points). Our stay experience was enhanced by a gentleman called Pasha. He was omnipresent, and very helpful. When we enquired whether there’s an elevator to the station level, (my wife had a bad knee and was unable to handle steps), Pasha offered to go to the station and check! He reached our baggage in the evening and carried it back when we were checking out. He acted as the Concierge also beyond office hours. Had breakfast in the hotel and found the variety as per standards expected. Crowne Plaza Tel Aviv CC will not disappoint you. The only feedback i have is that the invoice which the receptionist promised to e mail me (she took my e mail id on a piece of paper, although it’s available as I am an IHG member), never came in.

I recently stated at the Link Hotel for Business The Hotel looks really cool, and has a very relaxed atmosphere Check was great I had a Corner Room Plus, and whereas its a bit on the small side (sink is in the main room next to the bed) It was a nice room, everything laid out well and had a good coffee machine and comfortable bed There was a big 55” TV which I was able to hook up to my laptop to watch films Air Conditioning was good, but I did have a problem where it was not cooling down, I went down to reception and the very friendly lady came up to my room and check and adjusted the settings, she also offered for me to change rooms but it was midnight so I was too tired to move rooms Reception staff always very friendly and chatty, one lady in particular (I didnt catch her name) always spoke to me and always helped me if needed and even let me stay in the room for one hour after check out Positives Modern fresh Hotel, very hip and cool Excellent Location Good Rooms Excellent staff Negatives No ”traditional” breakfast option compared to other hotels nearby That's my review of the hotel, highly recommend it and will book again if I return

We booked 3 nights at this boutique hotel based on the mostly positive reviews on this forum. Our experience unfortunately was not so great. We checked in rather late in the evening at around 8.30pm. We were coming in from the bus station as we had crossed over from Jordan earlier in the day & we were exhausted & hungry. We were looking forward to a few comforts after some hectic days in Wadi Rum. The cab dropped us off on the street out front...there was no doorman so we dragged in our luggage into the small lobby where we were met by Adi at the front desk. He explained a few things & offered us a coffee but we wanted to just get into our room. What I found really strange was we had considerable amount of luggage but he didn't lift a finger to help even me & I was struggling. The room was okay size but the furniture was weird - supposedly designer but just plain Uncomfortable. They provided no baggage racks which meant all the bags on the floor which again is so inconvenient. For any decent hotel this a very normal requirement or at the very least provide a space for keeping big bags. We found that some of the toiletries in the bathroom were obviously used by the previous occupants of the room. The caps were not screwed properly & one of them was leaking. Housekeeping had not bothered to throw them just simply kept them there along with some fresh ones. Disgusting ! The next day I asked for an ironing board. The young girl, I think her name was Miriam looked a bit perplexed at first & then came back after a quite a while with an iron & a dirty old stained hand held board. Made me wonder people don't require irons ? We met the manager Tali the next morning....she wasn't too friendly or hospitable. Miriam was friendly & offered us some coffee. We enquired about a Sim & a Rav card & were told that we would have to look on the street for a phone shop. The location of the hotel is on a buzzing street full of cafes, shops & restaurants so we didn't have to walk too far to find a shop selling the cards. At the hotel they told us that we would have to go 10kms away about 25 minutes by taxi to find a Rav card recharge place. We are very well travelled & that just didn't sound right....the authorities are not going to make the purchase of an everyday travel card so difficult. The guy who sold us the SIM card told us we would find it at the pharmacy next to our hotel. I can't remember the name of the shop but it was literally the next building sharing a common wall. It was that easy....the girl at the counter was lovely & one of the customers in the queue offered to walk with us to where we were going as he was going that way. Didn't Tali know that Rav cards are available next door ? She's managing a hotel & she didn't know this very basic piece of information relevant to all tourists ??? When we came back in the late afternoon we found our room was not made up. The clothes line in our bathroom didn't work but despite repeated requests nothing was do

The hotel is very close to the port of Tel Aviv and there are many restaurants near the port. The front desk service is especially good, like a bang! The bed in the twin room is only one meter wide and needs attention. The room is not large, equivalent to a domestic fast hotel.

very helpful stuff clean rooms nice business lounge close to the train a lot of restaurants close to the Weitzman Institute very nice breakfast a lot of diversity even for vegan making omelettes on the spot very nice waitress and also the And also the men who makes the Omelette thank you for everything

We just had a really disappointing experience at the rooftop bar. We were meeting our family who are staying at the hotel. Hoping to sit in the outside area with a view. We were told that our 7:30 pm reservation could not be for an outside table because there weren’t any free tables, so we sat inside (freezing cold, high tables with low seats, slow service). When we left at 9:00 pm, all the empty tables that had been there (outside) when we arrived were still empty. Although I understand that they were reserved for later…we could have been offered the opportunity to sit at one for an hour and a half. When I asked why that’s not possible, we were told it takes a half hour to clear a table between guests! That’s just crazy…they will lose lots of money by not keeping tables in use. Additionally, one party member asked for a few more crackers for his salmon tartare,and were told that it’s not possible. English menus were not updated, there were items listed that are no longer served. In short….treat your guests a little more kindly and maybe they will return!
