Occupying an Ottoman-era house in the flea market, this hostel is the most atmospheric option in its price range in Tel Aviv, but the beds aren't the most comfortable. Dorm beds are reasonably priced, and there is a generous number of communal bathrooms, a communal kitchen and a large roof terrace (where you can also sleep) with sea glimpses.
