My recent stays at The O Pod capsule hotel in Tel Aviv left me impressed with its unique blend of affordability, design, and location. Situated directly on the beach, the hotel offers breathtaking sea views of the Herbert Samuel promenade, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking comfort and convenience.
The hotel's lobby is a striking fusion of futuristic and industrial design elements, featuring climbing plants and Thai-inspired decor that create a captivating atmosphere. The diverse range of capsule rooms caters to various needs, from compact single pods to double occupancy and premium units with sea views or balconies. Each capsule is equipped with built-in fans that circulate air-conditioned air from shared common areas.
The O Pod's amenities are comprehensive and well-maintained, including a shared workspace, sun terrace, and laundry service. However, the shower water pressure could be improved for a better guest experience.
Despite this minor drawback, my overall experience at The O Pod was thoroughly positive. The hotel's convenient location, well-maintained facilities, and extensive amenities make it an ideal choice for my future visits to Tel Aviv.
1. Расположение. До моря 100 метров. В здании напротив макдональдс и неплохая американская бургерная, которая работает в шаббат, что важно. До тогового центра Дизенгоф минут десять ходьбы неспешным шагом.
2. Чистота. Убирают хорошо.
3. Халатов нет, тапочки не выдают, но есть фен и косметичесике принадлежности (бритвенных принадлежностей нет). Выдают пляжные полотенца по запросу, но я не пользовался.
4. Завтраков нет, но можно купить ваучер на завтрак (70 шек. на человека) в соседней гостинице (буквально в двадцати метрах). Завтрак не сказать чтобы шикарный, но неплохой, есть все основное: кофе, соки, выпечка, немного овощей, салатов, яичница в любом виде, какие-то молочные продукты вроде мягкого творога.
В целом отель неплох и для тех, кто приехал по делам, и для пляжного отдыха.
Checks out all across the board. Very clean setup with plenty of freebies such as coffee, tea, and lemon water. Good facilities including a pong pong table and a storage room for luggage . Most important, it is the only affordable option right at the beach that is not a capsule hotel. So i ll post the beach here right across the hotel.
Location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from the beach - beautiful beaches stretching as far as the eye can see in both directions.
But the room was a bit crappy, and the bed did not smell clean. Luckily I had a light travel sleeping bag with me, to keep me clean in bed.
Conveniently located near bus and tram lines, also close walking distance to the central bus station. Breakfast has good variety too. Would return next time again!
ゲゲストThe hotel strongly emphasized being “adults only” / without children, yet the hotel was full of children.
The room was extremely small and crowded.
The “view” was simply a wall facing the hotel.
The mattress was uncomfortable to the point that we could barely sleep.
The shower was unbelievably narrow and uncomfortable.
Only one elevator was available for all guests in the hotel.
Food was ok, cleaning was ok
ゲゲストThe hotel’s location is fantastic, right by the sea with direct access to the beach, which was a great plus. The food was excellent as well. The rooms were fairly clean, though a bit small. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the reservation – an overcharge due to a registration error. While the booking site was helpful and courteous, the hotel itself was unwilling to address the mistake or offer any form of compensation. Overall, while the location and amenities were impressive, the management's handling of the billing issue was disappointing.
ゲゲストhotel is old but comfortable quiet and next to the beech.
the food is very good and service during the meals is outstanding
the head of the dining room is up to everything there promptly.
