The Setai Tel Aviv

Small room in an old building - it’s not a hotel. The room was kinda old and the curtains full of dirt , which gave me a bad allergy. The bed had stains and... a hair.(absolutely opposite to my hair colour). The shower was the worst part tbh. I don’t recommend this. The street was also very noisy at night until 2am.

BEWARE -- the photos and listings for this property are VERY misleading. I realize that affordable hotel options are limited in Jaffa, but even then I would think twice before booking here (FYI, we were not budget travellers, but rather I chose this place for the location and for what I thought were charming photos of the rooms).

The location is good and the bed was comfortable, but the positive points end there. Everything else about it was awful. There was a mix up with our booking agent and we ended up getting a budget double room, but the room looked nothing like any of the photos. The kitchen and bathroom were both grimy and did not look very clean. The cabinets in both were bent and slightly ajar and there were mouldy grout lines all over the bathroom. The room was so small we didn't have enough space to fully open our suitcase, so we ended up having to open it on the bed. What's even worse is that the trashcan in our bathroom hadn't been emptied, and there were dirty, bloody bandages from the previous guests left for us to find there. When we called before arrive, we were told there would be plenty of free parking on the street (we had a rental car), but when we got there, there were no spaces and we drove around aimlessly for an hour before finally settling on a pricey private parking lot across the street.

We ended up checking out one night early and booked a room at a wonderful hotel in Haifa instead.
