Villa Vilina Oasis in Neve Tzedek

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).

Appartement fonctionnel pour 4 à 6 personnes. Un peu kitsch. Parfait pour les nostalgiques, les bobos, les ex-babas, l'authenticité, la convivialité. Partisans de l'orthodoxie hôtelière, passez votre chemin...

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.

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.

A lovely homely place with personal service!

We loved the apartment. It was clean, big and comfortable and the location was excellent. Dorit was very helpful.

Warm welcome by the owner who led us to a beautiful spacious apartment and gave us some discount coupons to the best restaurants around the neighborhood.Kind service, and amazing roof terrace in the best location of Tel-Aviv. A place i would like to come back to.

I really like that in this hotel i feel like home and not like hotel. Big bed, alot of room space, big bathroom and very nice kitchen. very good terace, with nice garden and floweres around, look on the sea. close to the beach and shops and coffeshops. Very nice Vilina - I like this place

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.

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.
