The Herbert Tel Aviv

This hotel has real character (it’s a historical building), it has amazing views over the beach and the promenade (we had a fantastic sea view balcony) and the staff are incredibly helpful- especially Nada. It is clean and there is water, wine and Cava freely available at the bar. There is access to the infinity pool at the sister hotel, the Herbert Opera next door, and if you’ve booked breakfast, that is where it is served. The main downside of the Herbert is there is no lift, and we initially were on the top floor, which involved a lot of steps! We were however later moved to the first floor when they availability. The other downside is that there is absolutely no room in either the bathroom or bedroom to unpack/store things, which was tricky as we were staying for 10 days.

A éviter Bâtiment ancien rénové, mais très mal rénové. Attention pas d’ascenseur. Mauvaise isolation acoustique avec l’étage, on entend les gens parler en pleine nuit. Problème de canalisation dans tout le bâtiment. On entend des bruits de canalisations. Nous avons eu une inondation le matin après la douche avec les remontées d’eau. Nous avons changé de chambre. Les toilettes étaient dans la cabine de douche!! La chose la plus importante dans une chambre d’hôtel ? La literie! Elle était de très mauvaise qualité. Globalement, c’est le standing d’un banal motel d’autoroute. Aucun geste commercial de la direction. A éviter….

I was my first time at The Herbert and it was wonderful. The staff went out of their way to assist me. The hotel itself and the rooms are kept very clean. Rooms was nicely decorated with a large bathroom. Lobby area is very inviting, coffee and snacks are available. Housekeeping also does an amazing job. Breakfast is offered in the hotel opposite as a buffet. Plenty of choice for everybody

On the sea. Beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea. It is very close to the boardwalk. The property has bicycles to ride. Breakfast was good. We would stay there again.

I had to really think this one through. The hotel is a boutique gem in so many ways. Across the promenade from its big sister, The Opera Herbert Hotel, the little “Herbert” offers gorgeous full oceanfront views. The rooms are tiny, luxurious and very well-appointed. I did not mind the size at all. I actually marveled at the use of space. The bedding is great. The bathroom and shower are great. Even the towels are notably higher quality than most luxury brands. So what’s the problem? Well, for me, it was the noise. This was, by far, the loudest room I have ever had with one exception when I got stuck with a room across from a truckers bar during a last-minute airport stay. The street noise is completely unbuffered. Noise-wise, there was no appreciable difference between the French balcony door being wide open or shut. The trucks, ambulances, motorcycles and voices were full volume and … I was on the highest floor. A guy just sneezed outside and I said “G!d bless you.” I kid you not. With no ability to sleep, all of the wonderful qualities of the hotel are meaningless, infuriatingly so. It is possible that this was a problem with just my room but that is unlikely. Potential guests should also know that (1) there is no elevator and it is a five-story hotel; (2) the HVAC unit is wonky. It required the management to remotely and exclusively set the unit to heat and only upon my request. Once done, I was unable to regulate the air. Despite the fact that this is unusual (though not unheard of) for Israel or anywhere else, no attempt was made to explain the situation. I would have loved this hotel but for the extreme noise. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.

Hotel che di 4 stelle a poco , ottima la posizione fronte mare , da dimenticare le camere ,malgrado avessi una vista mare con terrazzo , sono minuscole altrettanto piccolo il bagno e senza armadi, abbiamo dovuto farci dare un appendiabiti , la colazione si fa nell’ hotel difronte passando tra cantieri in strada senza che nessuno ci avesse avvertito e nulla di eccezionale , di positivo e’ il personale molto disponibile e gentile sempre a disposizione . Non penso di poterlo consigliare
