Beit Immanuel

Tel Aviv


This convent-style hostel is located in an 1884 building opposite a pretty Lutheran church. Operated by an evangelical congregation, its rooms are clean and comfortable, and it has a private garden and a free car park. Although only a 10-minute walk from Old Jaffa or the hip neighbourhood of Florentin, it's incredibly peaceful.

The building once housed a fashionable hotel – German Kaiser Wilhelm II stayed here in 1898 – owned by Baron Plato von Ustinov, grandfather of the actor Peter Ustinov. It's located on a quiet street just off Eilat St (the continuation of Jaffa Rd).
