What passed for a five star hotel in Tel Aviv in the fifties—or even in the eighties when this hotel was seemingly last updated—is no longer competitive. The hotel feels tired and sorely in need of updating and maintenance. Room furniture is beat up and worn, with really shabby carpet—at least in the deluxe city-view room category—and the pool area is sorely in need of a refresh and better maintenance—glass surrounding the deck area seemingly has not been washed in decades, reminding me of NYC subways in the seventies. The elevators are also really depressing, like a Time Machine to the days when Israel was a developing country. But what really lets the hotel down is the breakfast buffet. The dining room is poorly arranged, making even just reaching one’s table akin to navigating an obstacle course. And securing coffee is nothing short of an ordeal. A coffee stand staffed by just one server generates lines of guests worthy of a high school cafeteria. And if you should want milk for your coffee, it is not on offer at the coffee station or at the table. You have to go clear across the dining room to the cold cereal section of the buffet with your hot cup of coffee. And the food offerings just don’t compare favorably with what the competition is doing. But, front desk staff were helpful and welcoming, which cannot always be said about everyone in the Israeli hospitality industry.
Adorei o hotel e o atendimento é perfeito.
Ponto negativo:
Restaurante principal não funcionar na sexta.
Não consegui comer no bar da piscina devido aos horário da sexta feira e sábado.
Great location at the 'entrance' to Jaffa with views of the sea, broad walk up the coastline with all the modern high rise of Tel Aviv. Old city behind has lots of charm, restaurants etc. One morning we comfortably walked along the seafront right up past the Hilton and back as well as all around the port area / centre of Jaffa. Hotel is beautifully and tastefully restored / built, it is charming and stylish. We felt welcomed on check-in (I think it was Dean) and although arrived early, our room was ready. We had booked a basic room but were very fortunate to get upgraded 2 levels to an Executive Room on the 4th floor (with access to Lounge). We overlooked the roundabout, views of sea and coastline, totally lovely. Room is beautifully designed, very comfortable, good size, fabulous large bathroom with separate rain shower. We were here 2 nights only which included Holocaust Memorial Day so all restaurants/leisure closed from 6pm in the whole of Israel. Luckily hotel catering remains open. One would have thought that as a guest of the hotel, they should make sure that there is space in their restaurant and only keep it for in-house guests. It was not the case. No space in restaurant but managed to eat in the bar which serves a limited 'milk' menu including sushi. It was still pleasant, we ordered a pizza to share which was decent. The lovely Sophie made the experience more pleasant and kindly remembered we wanted some milk to take back to our room for our Nespresso in the morning! A note on the 'Mediterranee', the Lounge incase you need to decide whether to book a room with access. It is only open 12:30-6:30 so great if you usually have lunch and beverages. The food is top notch. A fabulous, delicious and well presented array of mainly mezze dishes including various cold fish, some hot dishes (pasta and vegetables) as well as fruit and some sweet things. Wine, tea/coffee, some spirits but couldn't see any mixes apart from fruit juices. Lovely deck outside to sit and relax. Only negatives - staff can be a bit aloof and not very attentive or proactive, especially up on the pool area for service and cleaning up. - bed linen felt cheap (though towels nice), not high cotton count like one gets at most 5* properties I have been to Tel Aviv a couple of times before for business and stayed in one of the modern luxury high rise. If I came back, this is the only hotel I would stay in.
訪訪客This is a modern boutique hotel situated near the Carmel market on Brenner Street. It has friendly stuff, check-in is easy. They offer on site parking for a nominal price. There is a good gym. There is a popular restaurant and bar, although we did not eat there. The room was small, but functional and very modern and clean with a comfortable bed. Plenty of outlets. There was an Nespresso machine for free use. There is a mini fridge with free beer. The bathroom is small, modern, excellent rain shower. Not a lot of space for your stuff. There is a turn down service in the evening with restocking of supplies. There is a rooftop wading pool and sunbathing. Good view from on the roof. The hotel is about 10 minutes walk to Rothschild Street at about 10 minutes to the beach. There are many restaurants close by the street it is on is residential.
訪訪客Great location in short walking distance from Jaffa Old City and Port. We got a very friendly welcome at arrival and this set the tone for our stay which was very pleasant and comfortable. Spacious room and bathroom with good facilities including fast wifi. Plentiful breakfast buffet on the top floor with seating indoor and also outside on the roof top terrasse. Our only query is that smoking is allowed on the roof top terrasse, so we were exposed to a lot of passive smoking during breakfast.
Mmaorהיי,אתמול הגענו למלון ארטיסט בתל אביב אחרי חוויה נוראית במלון אחר

גרם לנו להרגיש הכי בנוח והכי מוזמנים
המלון נהדר,ארוחת בוקר מצוינת וניקיון ברמה אחרת
Hey, yesterday we arrived at the Artist Hotel in Tel Aviv after a terrible experience at another hotel. We were met by a guy named Omer, who is simply an asset to the chain. He made us feel most comfortable and most welcome. The hotel is great, the breakfast is excellent and the cleanliness is on another level
訪訪客Surprisingly clean and quiet. location is right at the beach.short walk from Jaffa. I was staying for 4 nights and it was a really pleasant stay. first time in a capsule hotel and it won't be the last. highly recommended.
Delightful change away from hussle and bussle and just a short walk to stunning beach and cafes. Staff couldnt do enough for us which was such a welcome change from other hotels. Rooms very clean and attractive, English movie channel, but the food truck was exceptional! Well done the Muse for creating a welcoming, friendly environment.
