This property is in a great location if you’re staying in Tel Aviv. Close to practically everything, within walking distance from the beach, Diezengoff, and more! It makes for a much more comfortable stay having your own apartment in Tel Aviv rather than a one room hotel. Very nice staff, extremely helpful, a great place!

I didn’t like that is was dated and some of the tv stations didn’t work. I liked that it was quiet and walking distance to the beach. The front desk lady was great, but the gentleman wasn’t friendly.

Great place to stay close to the beach. Lacks the amenities of a “hotel” but still a great option to save some money and get a little more room. Patio balcony is huge and the upstairs room allowed us to spread out a little. Highly recommended.

We rented a 2 bedroom apartment at Ben Yahuda that was actually 2 stories with a kitchenette and upstairs balcony overlooking the city. The location was excellent - just 2 blocks away from the beach and a block from main bus routes. The staff was very helpful, friendly and attentive. Cleaning was every 3 days, which was fine for us. There was construction on the street in front of the building which meant there was no car traffic or noise and the construction did not bother us although it made it a bit challenging to get a taxi drop off with luggage. Would definitely recommend staying here.

The reality is different than advertised. The room was tired. The shower mold disgusting. Ben Yehuda Street is under construction, and it will be under construction for a very long time as part of the TLV Light Rail development (based on current state, it might take two more years of construction). On the other hand the Front Desk personnel was excellent, it could not be better.

Dear VicenteThank you for your review. We are happy to announce that the construction works are due to finish very soon. We were informed that within 2 weeks they will finish with the constructions for a period of 2 years. So as of June 2023 - we don't expect any noise or construction works happening on Ben Yehuda Street next to the property. With regards to the cleanliness issues - we have a dedicated house keeping staff which is trained to clean the apartments to the highest level. We would have loved to hear your complaints during your stay so we could send someone to check and clean if necessary. As you can read from hundreds of reviews on this site - guests are frequently mentioning the high level of cleanliness, the central location near the beach and our 24-hours on-site reception. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Tel Aviv

Good: 24 hour reception, shops nearby and beach. Bad: dated interior, bathroom mouldy and dated needs refurb. The photos on website are NOT the room you get, furniture is totally different, TV in weird place on side of room, noisy street at night due roadworks noise. Reception team poor communication, said could use any debit or credit card for public transport (not the case!) and no clue about ravkav the card system to use.

Pleasant stay
A very nice "penthouse" apartment on the 4th floor with balconies on both the east and west sides. Complementary bottle of wine at check-in. Note that the check-in location is a few doors from the actual residence. The street is blocked to car traffic for the next few years due to construction, so pay heed to their email about where to direct the cab.

A/C not working and did not offer a partial redund
At first, I was pleased with this small property. The office staff was nice and check-in was easy. The small apartment was fine for my purposes. Unfortunately I had problems with the A/C as it often shut off during the night. They gave me a fan for the bedroom but the power outlets were connected to the A/C wiring and it also shut off. While they tried to adjust the sensors, it did not help. After filling out an internal survey, they texted me offering their apologies and said that I would get a 6% discount the next time I stay with them. Shortly after, I emailed them and asked them to offer a partial refund (not suggesting a specific amount) and mentioned that I would dispute the charge with AMEX and would write a poor review with Hotels.com They responded back “ Please don't threaten us.” I do travel to Israel at least 2x/year and have never experienced such poor customer service from a property manager/owner.

The property is complete with room amenity, very spacious and very clean. The housekeeper is very good in cleaning the apartment, the only concern is that a repair guy came to fix the toilet and made some mess and nobody came to clean the toilet not until after 2 days so we ended up cleaning it ourselves. Other than that we had an excellent experience staying in this apartment.

Perfect spot for your next visit to Tel Aviv
This was my sixth stay at the Ben Yehuda Apartments. The location is ideal, within easy walking distance of myriad restaurants and shops - as well as major bus lines. The staff was INCREDIBLY helpful - especially in dealing with the ever-changing requirements for COVID testing. When they didn't know something - they called and tracked down the answer. Looking forward to my next visit.

A consistently excellent experience
I've stayed at Ben Yehuda Apartments multiple times in recent years, and it's consistently a great place to stay in the Old North. Rooms are spacious, front desk staff are excellent and super helpful, price is very good value for the money, and it's great to know that I can stay here and always count on a very good experience. Well done!

Poor experience
The experience was bad! the place is not suited for families nor the personal there who was incentive to any help we asked with regards to luggage, parking, or helping to carry to stroller down the stairs (room floors are not accessible with an elevator). We ended up shortening our stay, preferring to pay the fine than continue our stay there. They did give us courtesy parking (10pm - 9am) at one point that came with many disclaimers on how much they are doing the 'above and byond' for us....
Mold and moisture
Dirt and lack of cleanliness in the air conditioner (we chose not to use it)

We are sorry to hear that you had an unsatisfactory stay with us. Our self-catering apartments offer lots of conveniences and amenities for great and comfortable stays for families and couples alike. We never stipulated that we provide free parking or that we help with luggage. There are in Tel Aviv lots of 5 stars hotels that might offer these services but we never intended to compete with these services. Our cleaning team is doing a great job in cleaning the apartments, and hence the hundreds of positive reviews about cleanliness. We hope that future guests will understand that this review is not representative at all to the type of service we're offering to our guests.

The check-in wasn't easy. However, the hotel is clean and the bed is comfortable. The hot water gets nice hot too. You have to wait for it to heat up, but the heats up pretty fast. We paid for the breakfast, and we would highly recommend that option. They send you to a local restaurant. The food was fantastic!
