Definitely the cosiest hostel I ever stayed in. Staff as well as guests create an intimate atmosphere. The common area is a big terrace with a lot of couches and hammocks, enough space to sit, talk or just relax. Just 10 min walk to the beach or city centre, in the area are a lot of bars. Felt very welcome and sad when I had to leave. Definitely recommend Florentine Hostel! It´s a very good spot to get started in Israel. Enjoy!

Great little hostel in a good location near the hip Florentin neighborhood. Clean, average facilities but they make up with a great atmosphere with travelers interacting all the time. The only problem is that sometimes when making sure every rule is followed, the people in charge can be a little rude.

What really sets this place apart is the staff - both paid and volunteer. They create an inviting and relaxing environment that can make even shy people feel right at home. If you want a chilled out night "at home" the terrace is the perfect place to unwind with a beer and smoke some hookah - both available upon request for what I suspect may be the most reasonable price in Israel.
