Arava Hostel

We return several times a year to Arava hostel, a family of 4. The kids won't even consider other resort, hotel or hostel. Always clean, tidy and welcoming. Well equiped kitchen we uses for cooking family dinners, and in-room kitchenette for breakfast and tea. Love the location, the people and the city!

We needed a stay over & found a simple yet comfortable , clean place to stay in. Here , you have everything you need in a more relaxed place. You can order breakfast in a communal area or outside. I found the room,linen & bed very clean & comfortable. Another nice thing is it in close proximity to restaurants & shops.

Very nice and quite Hostel Nice crew, keep the rooms clean Willing to help with a smile The location is 10min walk from the icemall and old tourist center 5 min walk you have a grocery store recommended

My third time staying at Arava... Its known as perhaps the "oldest" hostel in Eilat... Now, that doesnt mean its not well kept. Very clean, Great AC working strong, kind staff and a great a**osphere. Israel can be a chaotic place, but none of it enters Arava Hostel...that feels like any Western Modern Hostel from a first world country... Affordable. Easy to make friends, cook together, have some beers and conversations...laundry machines and even full on Gas Grill to use if you feel like it...most of the amenities arent even listed on their page...they got it all. If you are on a budget and need a clean organized place to stay, Arava is the way!

Stayed 5 nights and had a surprisingly good experience. Very very clean and friendly. Good location. Could be a bit noisy sometimes, but that’s the “hostel a**osphere” I guess. Very good value for the price. Would probably return.

The hostel is about what one can expect from a hostel. It's fairly clean and just fine. Two points to notice: First, there were no towels in bathroom. When I complained, I was told they only issue towels for a cash-only deposit. As I don't carry cash in recent years, I had to ask firmly for a dozen times in a lengthy discussion to get a towel. This left a bitter taste of the whole 2 nights stay. Also, the door and wall are very thin, and noisy people just outside my room did wake me up in the middle of the night.

I had an amazing stay at Arava hostel. It’s extremely clean and comfortable and the level of customer service is incredible. The staff are friendly and help with genuine kindness. It’s good value for money and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hostel in Eilat or a double room for a budget hotel.

clean, inexpensive, great location.
