TLV 88 Sea Hotel

Excellent made to order breakfast.

Perfect for couples understand older B&B style (but with hotel privacy) European hotels. Partly remodeled with double pane windows, remodeled bathroom and AC - thank goodness, the hotel retains an old charm, including one of the few remaining 70-years old views of the sea, even from the 2nd floor, not obstructed by sky-rises. The bathroom inside key - keep it in there! -- reflects the authenticity of the stay. It is one of the few remaining older style, that still enjoys a view of the sea. The walk up the coast for shops, and parks is wonderful. It is also near residential and other shopping streets, so overall it is quiet. Getting a taxi was easy. Breakfast is excellent, as is an outstanding dinner - which we decided to eat there a few times and were not disappointed. The one downside, and this is a small one, for those who are taking tours and have to be out-the-door by 7:00 - they can't offer breakfast earlier. If you ask, you can get a baguette tuna sandwich for the road. For those who want modern (or need one - it has no elevator), and "4 Seasons Hotel" modern style - want steak for dinner, and a buffet breakfast, and royalty treatment, this is not your cup of tea. But, if you want to immerse yourself into Tel Aviv, meet the locals (and a few movie stars who we saw eating downstairs), then I suggest you pass on wanting a lobby, buffet breakfast and try this great local hotel.

The view was wonderful and worth the price the rest not so much😕

The location was excellent. The breakfast was amazing. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Amazing experience ,we recommended this hotel. In front of the sea and nearly goods restaurants.

I liked the friendly staff. Very helpful! The restaurant is really good!!

First, good thing - great location, no doubts. 2 minute walk to Bograsov beach, lots of restaurants around and the staff that was generally very pleasing. Now the bad stuff - hotel is in terrible condition, no elevator, quite run down. My first room given to me was so bad, i couldn't stay in it - first floor windows couldn't be securely closed... Temporary room I got for 1 night was so small there was no space left around the bed. I found a huge cockroach in the bathroom in the morning. finally i was given a room on the 3rd floor, which was a good size but the condition was really bad: peeling wallpapers, shower doors hanging off the wall on hinges that are exposed, paint is all over the white wood work, like a kid would do, not a professional painter. Bathrooms are generally in bad conditions, headboards have plenty of nail scratches on them, some are not very nice, pillows are about 10 years old and completely flat. Look at the pictures and judge for yourselves. Breakfast was generally good, but not worth $18. I don't know where all these great reviews were coming from, possibly from those who didn't know better. My verdict - if you wish to overlook all of those things that make hotel stay acceptable, this is the place for you only because of the location. Otherwise, spend more and stop worrying about the rest.

The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was Excellent! The room was dated but comfortable and clean for the most part.

This boutique hotel was absolutely wonderful! Great spot right across from the beach, delicious & filling breakfast every morning, very kind staff, and an excellent deal! I can’t recommend this hotel enough. When I return to Tel Aviv, I will be staying here again.

Great location five minutes from the beach. If you want to avoid the large high rise seafront hotels - this is the place
