Ahla Plus

Everything was dirty. When we arrived the trash bin in the room was full, the toilet and bath were dirty. There was almost empty toilet paper and no additional one. There were no duvet coves at all. The light in the room didn't work. When I gave my complaints to the staff the only two things that they fixed were an empty trash bin and duvet covers. But I had to ask them several times even for this. The staff was rude and not hospitable. Public facilities (kitchen and balcony) were EXTREMELY dirty. I had to wash literally everything before using it. Also the balcony is in really dangerous condition, there are some missing parts in the fence. So if you are traveling with pets or kids they will face a danger of falling from more than 2 meters high straight on the roadway. Overall, if you have any other options, use it. Don't put yourself and your beloved into danger. Also they were trying to take payment by cash, not credit card. And was angry when I asked to give me a receipt to approve payment.

- more like a boutique hotel than a typical hostel. It is someone's beautiful home in a well-to-do area of Eilat. Has private rooms and a dorm. - lovely outdoor areas with views of the sea and mountains - a place for animal lovers with a gorgeous dog and friendly cats. Heaven to me! - the proprietor David is a total sweetheart, such an interesting and lovely gentleman. He called me taxis when needed. Welcomed me with a lovely coffee. - it's a 10 minute walk down the road to the seafront, coming back up can be a bit taxing as its a hill. - I had trouble finding good food in Eilat but I recommend 'Fish Market' resteraunt a little bit along the coast or 'Thai Story' a 20 minute walk away on the promenade. The hostel has full cooking and laundry facilities.
