Akko Gate Hostel

Location: The hotel is in a great location, near souks, food shops, seaside restaurants, bus stops, and within walking distance of attractions. It's also close to landmarks like Akka wall, Masjid alJazzar, and the beach. (based on 1 review)

Great spot but poor management. Location was great, close to the heart of the old town. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Balcony looking on to the old city wall was nice. However, the bed had no top sheet - just a bottom sheet and a blanket. We tried to get a sheet of one of the bunk beds, but it was dirty and smelly. Staff provided a top sheet when asked and we fitted it ourselves. There were no tea or coffee making facilities anywhere. The TV had no channels at all, so was purely for decoration.

Location. Location. Location. That is the best feature of the hostel located on the noisy main Akko thoroughfare. Meet Walid, Walid, Walid and Chalid, your hosts and operators of the family-run accommodation. Rooms in this Ottoman-era building are large. Some have refrigerators and some have a bureau but ask for one away from the street if horse-drawn carriages of tourists, blaring Arabic disco music bother you. The room was clean but with an overpowering smell of air freshener and there were no top sheets between us and the blankets they provide. The so-called communal kitchen was dirty and lacking coffee, sugar and milk. There is no common area for sitting but there are tables set up outside at the next door cafe which they also own and operate. W,W, W and H were friendly and helpful, especially, as noted, Walid senior, perhaps a little too friendly. But if you are looking for just a place to sleep and shower, use the wifi and park, then the Akko Hostel is a good choice.
