The staff and the owner of the hostel are very friendly and helpful. They will assist you with everything that you will be needing. The location is very close to most of the local attraction in Haifa and its neighboring places and I could say that its a better place for you if you plan to do a day tour to acre, nazareth and other nearby places. It will take you almost an hour or less from this area of haifa to get to the places I mentioned above. The bus station is literally just outside the place and its a good walking distance to get to the railway station. My stay includes breakfast and what they offer is pretty nice, local and freshly prepared breakfast menu by the in house chef. Tamer, the owner of the restaurant and hostel even promised to give me one night free stay since I checked out a day before my original checkout date.

The shower area Is clean at all times including the toilet but the shower area could be improved like a place to hang your stuff, the shower hooks are broken and needs replacement, it would also be best if there will be doors to lock it while you are taking a shower. Despite the minor improvements mentioned above, it was really an amazing stay and hoping that a lot of tourist visit these areas of Israel and not just Jerusalem or Tel Aviv alone.

The staff and the volunteers were super nice! I really enjoyed every talk with them. We had dinner together, they always invited me to have an Arabic coffee with them and they gave me a lot of hints for exploring Haifa. I really liked the big community areas outside and the huge kitchen. It felt like having a house together with family or friends.

The sink was very often blocked and the bathroom equipment was a bit outdated. Also it would be nice, if we could have regulated the air conditioning ourselves. Some of us were freezing at night and the remote control was only used by the staff.

The staff was very nice and polite, and it's a pleasure to talk to them! Perfect location close to Bahai (but know that they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and in the rest of the week they are only open up to the first level). Very good recommendations for places to visit!

Not bad things, but there were so many volunteers working at this hostel that I felt like I was the only tourist there! Everyone was sleeping in the room with me 😁 I was in a bunk bed, but when I got up, the ceiling was 5 cm from me! You could easily hit your head or your back! The internet did not work in the room, and the air conditioning could not be used during the day! You were lying warm in your own sweat

The staff was wonderful. We decided to stay an extra night, and they were very accommodating. We will definitely return.

It's a hostel, so the accommodations are nothing fancy. But they were quite adequate, and the staff and guests were fabulous. The kitchen wasn't so user friendly, the water machine wasn't functioning, and the oven obviously hadn't been used in quite a while. But this meant we ate at the restaurant and had a lovely breakfast in the morning, which was better. :D

This hostel can make you feel like home while traveling. Very well organised and super clean all the time- stuff does a great job. You'll find everything you need. Good breakfast. And for me it was even better than what i already expected from seeing the pictures.

That I had to leave because my holiday was over 😅😅

Location is perfect, very central and easy to move from

It’s not that I didn’t like it but more of a recommendation. Dorms could have individual lights for each bed, as well as a small night stand. A good addition could also be curtains for extra privacy.

Perfect location, a very friendly and helpful reception, a lot of fun around, Haifa gardens in a walkable distance just in 1 minute. I booked that hostel accidentally, and that is a lottery jackpot.

I liked everything. I prefer a softer mattress, but that is just my personal preference, and that is not changing the 10/10 rating.

Good location, You can catch bus, train in walking distance. The building is ok. It is located on a nice street, full of restaurants and cafés. Just prepare the pocket, you are in Israel. The volunteer staff is the best people on earth.

I think they could work on the cleaning a little more, meaning pesticides. You see some ugly 'insects' in the toilet area.

The personnel was very friendly and helpful. The hostel is clean and has everything in the kitchen. There is a restaurant at the hostel.

Some showers had leaking shower handlers or disattached hooks. The door to the 6-person room was not closing from outside.

I was able to stay in the hostel a few years ago and it’s a real institution in Haifa. Currently you can taste amazing food there, including heartful Palestinian cuisine made with vegan ingredients or enjoy meat, if you prefer. Plenty of choices! Rooms are comfortable, the property is very clean and well maintained and the staff is always welcoming and helpful. A wonderful place to stay.
