From May 1st to May 8th 2023 my sister and I had a holiday in Israel. The vacation was wonderful except for our shabby, crappy hotel. It is La Guardia Hotel, 9 La Guardia St. in Tel Aviv. My sister had a room overlooking the intersection of highways and thus providing a night-&-day traffic noise. My room didn’t have a window! My bathroom and shower cell were terribly small. Everything was either lacking (e.g. a safe deposit box) or dirty, worn or broken. The service was bad. Our sheets were not replaced the whole week, our towels were replaced only once, no cleaning of the rooms whatsoever (the thrash bin was emptied once). The manager, a Russian who has been living in Israel for 32 years, still hardly spoke any English. He was a grumpy guy, never smiled to his guests and could be heard bullying his housekeeping son every afternoon. They seemed to be quarreling, everything in Russian. One day we returned to the hotel and weren’t able to open the front door. The manager was visibly lying on the couch 1 meter away and at first refused to open the door for us. Incredible! The hotel is cheaper than most hotels in Tel Aviv (a terribly expensive city!), but the price-quality rate is bad. Don’t go there!
