Tel Aviv
On first view, the less-than-picturesque district this hostel is located in can be off-putting. However, it doesn't take backpackers long to appreciate the location, which is close to Neve Tzedek, Florentin, Jaffa and the beach. Eight six-bed dorms and nine private rooms are on offer (all small), as is a rooftop bar and busy entertainment program.
Be warned: the hostel has an age restriction of 18 to 40 years.
