Great position.
We had a comfortable stay. Room for family was a good size. Great position. Importantly for me it was quiet. The kitchen was a good size. But the family loved the upper deck the best. Great atmosphere.

Total deception!! Be Careful of false pics
Terrible experience!! Our taxi could not enter the street because of construction barriers at entrance. We had to carry our luggage and then realize there is no office and no one on site, just an old,neglected and run down place. We had to wait 15 minutes until a neighbor did us a favor and called the manager,then had to climb 32 narrow steps with suitcases at 97 degree heat to find shabby dilapidated rooms with A/C that was not working properly. Because we had prepaid we decided to "rough it out" (big mistake), any 2 star hotel would have been better, and i am sorry to say I can't even call it "rustic". However the general area of Neve Tzedek is nice to stroll.

Great place for the self-sufficient traveller
I stayed at the Villa Vilina for two weeks in January. It's more like short-term apartments than a hotel; there's no lobby or front desk, no concierge, no room service. But the location is superb — on the main street of Neve Tsedek, which is a wonderful neighborhood, close to the beach. The apartment I had was large, clean, and comfortable. Since I had previously lived for a year on the same street in Neve Tsedek, and was therefore very familiar with the neighborhood, the lack of typical hotel facilities was not a drawback for me. And the price was very reasonable.

Misleadingly advertised, dirty, poor quality
Me and my family have just stayed at this place (February 2015) which describes itself in its marketing as an "oasis" When you arrive - the entrance, with not even a sign outside, takes you up to a decaying and filthy rooftop. That rooftop is littered with random rubbish, scattered objects and described as a "skyline to your enjoyment." The "suites" themselves are located on that rooftop - each of them in desperate need of some paint and attention, very dirty, badly stocked and incredibly noisy from overhead planes every few minutes overnight. Our sleep was disturbed the whole night. The accommodation here is incredibly basic, very over priced and it is obvious very little has or is been spent on upkeep. Thankfully the area where you are - neve tzedek - is delightful and this will ever so slightly compensate for the sheer disappointment and rip off pricing of the accommodation. When we were staying our relatives dropped us outside and were in total shock at the state and standard of the accommodation. I have rarely been in a place that differs so dramatically from the advertising pictures you may see when placing the booking and as numerous other reviews have stated have clearly been photo shopped. If your expectations are very basic and you do not mind blowing your money away and getting very little back in return you will be fine here. If you like a bit more stay away: this place looks awful, is dirty, noisy, inaccurately mis sells itself and over priced.

Choose this hotel at your own risk!
We encountered three problems: 1. We were asked if we wanted to upgrade our room at a higher price, upon arrival. The room I reserved was not shown on the website, and was much less attractive than the one on which I based my reservation. I feel this was a bait and switch situation. 2. We were told that the room was self-service; only fresh towels were provided. This was not stated on the website. 3. There was no wi-fi Internet service upon arrival or the next morning; there is no reception at the hotel, and I did not know how to contact the manager to complain. Later the Internet service was working, but the delay caused a substantial inconvenience to my work. The manager of the hotel is not receptive to questions, let alone comments. Anything that goes wrong is the fault of the customer.

Just don't stay here!
There were no staff around to complain to. So I'm writing my review here. No door on the bathroom, no shower curtain in the shower. The place isn't clean. Should not be in your Expedia list of places to stay. I'm sorry I wasted my money. Also there was a rooster outside which didn't allow me to sleep. You will be disappointed if you stay here. Very difficult to find as it is poorly signed. Very unhappy customer.

Good value, location
This is a small apartment, not a hotel. There are maybe 3-6 units total. It is a good deal, as TA can be expensive. This is in a great location of Tel Aviv, in the heart of the trendy area with nearby restaurants and even 2 small grocery stores. Drawbacks are lack of signage making it hard to find, and the fact that when you arrive, you aren't sure where the building is and which door to knock on.

Had a really nice stay in Tel Aviv at the Villa Vilina. Was a little apprehensive at first, but the stay was comfortable and the location was excellent. Vilina was very accommodating and friendly. The rooms are nice and provide all the comforts of home.

Villa Villina - convenient studio accommodation
Basic, clean and comfortable apartment in probably the best neighbourhood in Tel Aviv. No frills, this studio apartment has a double bed, living room, kitchen and bathroom, so all you need to be self-sufficient. Nice hot shower. Neve Tzedek is a great little neighbourhood with chic boutique shops and some great bars and restaurants. Dallas at the end of the road is one of the best in Tel Aviv. You are also in easy walking distance to the beach and to the ancient port of Jaffa. Owner was helpful and accommodating. A fair rate for the room.

Apartment dwelling, clean, local experience
No signage, taxi delivers you to right place. My room was basic one room apartment with entry, small functional kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom with sofa sitting area. Floors, bathroom and kitchen clean. Clean towels, bring all toiletries. A quick walk to many shops, food, etc. Nice older area 2 flights of stairs if you have lots luggage. Very authentic experience. I would not hesitate to stay again under similar circumstances.

Special place
I stayed in the studio refurbished in an adorable and local way. The location is great and I could enjoy the little cafes and shops of Shabazi Street. I was really happy to see that the rooms are not above a street and so had no traffic noise. The only negative thing about the hotel is the playschool just below the windows, which opens at 8.00 in the morning and let you no chance for a longer sleep.

Good place to stay, but hard to find!
Good place to stay, in a great area of the city. Clean and warm. The issue is that it is hard to find the place (it's a very small alley with no number or clear identification in English). If you travelling without mobile internet, it is going to be hard, because the instructions of how to access the place are sent to you 1/2 days earlier. And even to fallow the instructions is not easy (more like a Zangief special movement at Street Fighter).
Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020

Studio très bien décoré, atypique, avec beaucoup de charme qui a su garder les matériaux d'autrefois ( carrelage, fresques), très belle terrasse aménagée sur les toits, très agréable pour prendre l'apéro ou pour le petit déjeuner, quartier sympa, restos à proximité. Le seul point négatif la télé de l'appart de la proprio qu'on a parfaitement entendue jusqu'à 1 h du math !

Posizione molto piacevole
Il quartiere è molto gradevole con numerosi negozi interessanti. Il terrazzo non è di pertinenza della camera ma a disposizione degli ospiti. Ha comunque una bella vista. Camera con soggiorno e cucina abitabile ampia. Water e doccia insieme,lavandino nell'ingresso. Tutto troppo vecchio e poco curato. Pulizia sommaria,in 4 giorni mai cambiato gli asciugamani!

Comfortable apartment in great location
Villa Vilina Oasis is located in what is probably the most beautiful neighbourhood of Tel Aviv, Neve Tzedek. The location is superb with just a few minutes walk to the beach, about 15 min. walk to Yaffa and within a short walking distance to Dizengoff center, Sheinken St. and Carmel Market. Villa Vilina consists of self service holiday apartments. Our apartment had a well eqipped kitchen, bedroom and a comfortable livingroom with cable TV and sofas. Free Wifi. Everything was clean. This is not a hotel with room service, so if you need your apartment cleaned during your stay, you can do it yourself or order cleaning. Vilina, the owner, was very nice and helpfull and gave a lot of usefull information about the area. We stayed for 12 nights and felt like home from the first moment! A great place to stay in an otherwise very expensive, but beautifull part of Tel Aviv. We will be back!

חיוך בהתחלה עצבים בסוף
מיקום זה הכל! יקר לא נקי. לא נח. אין מעקה למדרגות, שקעים חשמלים עם צלוטייפ. זבל בפח המטבח. הייתי מזועזעת, ספגתי וכשהערתי את ההערות זכיתי ליחס אגרסיבי ותוקפני!רועש מאד! לדעתי לא ראוי למגורי בסמוך לגן ילדים

Cool place in a cool neighborhood
Tel Aviv is expensive and the neighborhoods can be a bit difficult to navigate. Neve Tzedek is a pretty cozy one, with plenty of restaurants and cafes in easy walking distance. This is a casual place, not a hotel but the owner is very easy to talk to and will help all she can. The bed was OK the A/C worked well, the bathroom overlooked a construction site which I quite enjoyed, and there was a local cat. All together for Tel Aviv a good deal and a good spot.

Hotel Villa Vilina Oasis - absolut anbefalet
Det er en lejlighed man lejer mere end et traditionelt hotel. Man skal være klar over at der ikke er reception og daglig rengøring, men hvis man kan leve med det, så er det en hyggelig velholdt lejlighed der først og fremmest ligger lige midt i hvor det hele sker - og til rimelige penge. Tag til Jerusalem om dagen (ca 20-25 kr med bus i en time) for at se alle museerne og alt det historiske, og kom tilbage til Tel Aviv om aftenen og nyd de fantastiske restauranter og det vildt sjove natteliv - til det formål er denne lejlighed perfekt :-)
