Each and one of us has different preferences when it comes to holiday accommodations. Some people prefer the comfort of hotels, some will choose an apartment as a way to experience the local atmosphere and the others (me among them), will always stay in hostels. Why hostels you ask? Well, in a hostel you will always have common areas where you can meet and interact with other, usually young travelers, share different activities and make new friends. Hostels are usually cheaper then hotels but still offer a variety of services such as a free breakfast, wifi, 24/7 reception and more. Like always, we have gathered a short list of our top hostels in Tel Aviv :
Beachfront hostel
