Named after the neighborhood which it resides, Florentin House is a modern accommodation with 5 floors, just 1km from the beach.

As New York has Williamsburg, Tel Aviv has Florentin. It’s the place to be! One of the best hostels Tel Aviv has to offer and also one of the famous hostels in Tel Aviv.

The area is full to the brim with hipster bars, unique shops and great restaurants. A perfect location for travellers in search of culture, arts, music and nightlife.

As for the hostel, Florentin House Tel Aviv offers:

• Communal lobby lounge
• 24-hour reception
• Live music
• Daily city tours

This surely is the place to meet new friends and it couldn’t be easier thanks to organised group events.

There’s a bunch of rooms to choose from including a female dorm, mixed dorm and swanky rooftop suite.

However, if you’re looking for a budget private option, there is also a basic double and twin/quad rooms.

Female solo travellers eat your heart out.

2. Pepo Hostel

Let’s sum up Pepo Hostel in three words:

• cosy
• family
• boutique

This is easily in our top 3 Tel Aviv hostels because of its beautiful simplicity and homely vibes.

It’s actually within an old authentic Yemenite building, made from Zifzaf stone and complimented with wood, metal art and cool paint tones.

You’ll no doubt feel at home in one of the three mixed dorms on offer.

Note: Sorry, but no private rooms here.

They each fit 8 guests and every bed has a shelf and USB outlets. Each room has an en-suite, too. Bonus!

Without doubt the best place to hang out is on the spacious balcony under the sun, surrounded by pot plants.

Tip: grab your free hostel breakfast and take it up here to enjoy in the morning calm of the city.

Pepo is located in the picturesque Yemenites Vineyard neighbourhood. The Carmel Market is just outside and the beach-line is all of 2-minutes down the road.

If you’re after a quiet, clean and friendly environment then we’d say you’ve found your hostel right here.

A great place to stay for:

• Solo travellers
• Older travellers
• Adults

3. Abraham Hostel

Our third recommendation is on the larger scale with 350 beds and the buzz here stems from the huge on-site bar.

Yep, Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv is all about those social vibes. So which social space will you choose?

Perhaps the…

• Spacious lounge area
• Fantastic bar (open daily)
• Intimate seating area
• Communal kitchen
• Rooftop w/ awesome views
• TV room

But no doubt you’d also like to get active and see the sights. That’s also very easy and possible when staying with Abraham.

There’s often arranged activities such as yoga, city tours and night’s out to join.

The staff will happily fill you in during check-in.

Rooms come in all shapes and sizes from 4-12 mixed dorms, male and female dorms to private and family rooms.

Location wise, it couldn’t be easier for exploration. The beach, Old Jaffa and main cultural attractions are all within walking distance. Oh and super handy bus routes pass right outside the hostel, too.

Perhaps you can quiz the staff on their local secrets whilst you enjoy your free breakfast. That’s what we would do.
