The Jaffa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Tel Aviv

came to celebrate B-day during difficult time in Israel. A 500$ room per night, hotel failed to inform that due to situation all facilities are closed - spa, bar, pool etc. place practically deserted. Mini bar in room empty. Worst was dinner at restaurant - started with being served a different wine then we ordered, 2 starters came after half an hour wait, then another 90 minutes went by, noone cared, we asked for the manager who told us to go away. we left restaurant and checked out of hotel (weren't even asked why we are lea ivung after a few hours) we will never return. Appalling

Wow... the best boutique hotel.

Went with my wife for an evening in Tel Aviv to celebrate her birthday. Room was spacious, well-appointed, good view of the sea. Concierge, Reuven, was very helpful with arrangements. Had dinner in the grill restaurant: delicious prime ribs. Service was somewhat slow, despite our telling waiter we had ballet tickets and a time limit to get going. Breakfast in restaurant overlooking beach was fun-watching the yoga classes and sailing classes while stuffing ourselves with the brunch. Accessing the hotel from the road is difficult due to its location, and parking adjacent to the hotel (garage not owned by the hotel) was much more expensive than expected. Best NOT to come by car if it can be avoided.

Undoubtedly the best restaurant in Tel-Aviv. The service was spectacular, fast and truly luxurious. My date night went just perfectly, heads up to the team, especially Mihail and Ksenia. I had an amazing local dessert, covered with fresh berries and mascarpone.

Also a very historic property beautifully restored.

From the moment you walk in, you will smell an extremely strong perfume like scent. This scent will be severe on each floor and in your room. I complained that the hotel smells like a “perfume museum” and it’s so strong that one can’t breathe in their room. The staff agreed and moved me to another floor where the scent was less. The next day the housekeeping staff again sprayed all the floors with this scent and it’s not tolerable. The staff stated that this is the hotel signature smell and the property was designed to smell like that. So, if you like overly strong perfume to be sprayed in to the central ventilation system to the point where you can’t breathe and your sinuses will be agitated and so is your central nervous system, stay here. I personally do not want to stay in a hotel where I can’t breathe cause the staff sprays some horrible perfume in the entire hotel. I seriously considered leaving early and moving hotels and losing my prepaid reservation until I was moved to a closed section where staff didn’t spray this god awe full perfume.

Best in Israel!
