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.
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.
Pleasant atmosphere, great location, nice hotel staff, clean and well-designed room. The low score is for several reasons. All the websites that the hotel advertises state that there are slippers, a table, and the pictures also show an armchair. In reality, there are none, and the room was very small. The pictures do not reflect reality, and I stay in a lot of hotels. Second, we left at 8 in the morning and returned at 3 p.m. and the room was not cleaned. We didn't really need to clean, but to refill soap, towels, and basic things. It was impossible to call reception from the room, the phone didn't work. The reception didn't really understand when I was surprised that the room hadn't been cleaned until 3 p.m. After an exhausting morning and afternoon in the heat, I had to vacate the room for another hour and waited in the lobby and oops.. We went up to the room and it still hadn't been taken care of!!!. We spoke to the receptionist and it wasn't until around 5 p.m. that the room was tidied up. Any compensation? Forget it. Just exhausting and wasted time from my vacation. Too bad.
The location is very good, next to the light rail station, which makes it easy to reach many locations. The economy room is not big and with an inner window facing parking, which means it can't have really sunlight. But with the price I can't complain.
Cleanliness of the hotel can be improved. . When I check in the afternoon of 30/11 , the receptionist was very nice girl. But in the evening there is another girl, who just wants to talk on the phone, giving me the feeling that I was bordering her., even though I just ask a few questions.
Breakfast was really fresh and satisfying.
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
רועש מאוד לפנות בוקר אם ישנים בקומת קרקע
אין בן אדם בקבלה רוב הזמן
מערכת כיבוי אש אכלה לי את הראש חצי לילה עד שיצאתי ואיפסתי אותה בעצמי
בערב שאלתי את האחראי אם יש קפה, אמר לי שיש ברחוב בית קפה, רק לפנות בוקר קלטתי שיש בחדר מכונת קפה מטורפת עם מטחנת פולים חחח
חדר קטןןן
לא לישון בחדר 111
