Tel Aviv Hotels with Shuttle Service

The Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv was decades ago a nice hotel. Since then, it became neglected. The executive suite looks dark, the furniture and carpet would need a complete makeover. The access to and the pool area itself don’t look inviting at all. Those resemble more common areas of a 3 Star hotel. Views towards the ocean are nice, the location is absolutely the best, however the rest not so much. Out of necessity of creating revenue, the hotel works also with large local groups (the cheapos!). Encountering them at breakfast was a nightmare since those low class individuals think that they are at a State fair and they absolutely have no consideration for other guests of the hotel. Every single one of them was loud and obnoxious. No manners. Unfortunately at the current stage I can’t recommend this property, let alone the Dan being considered part of the LHW group.

We enjoyed a great week at the Elkonin, the staff could not do enough for us. Our room was beautiful but a little small and we were quickly shown a choice of two other rooms. The bedrooms are beautifully apointed and some have charming terraces looking out onto Lilenblum St (no sound at all from the road when the balcony doors were closed). The breakfast was held in an attractive large room on the ground floor. There was some outside space but it wasn't as nice an area as the breakfast room. The breakfast was a fabulous Israeli breakfast, served individually not buffet. We enjoyed working our way through the menu! There was a huge stylish bar but we never got to drink there because we were too busy exploring the city's nighlife. At the top of the hotel is a wonderful roof terrace with pool and the most amazing view across the city to the sea. We spent quite a few hours relaxing by the small but perfect pool. The hotel is on the site of an old house owned by the Konin family. It has been wonderfully restored and offers a tranquil place right in the heart of Lillenblum and Rothschild. We would definitely return!

First off, religious Jews should make sure not to stay here! When I checked in on Friday I asked the front desk for a metal key to use on Shabbat. It took her a while to find it, but she gave it to me. Before Shabbat began I ran an errand and when I returned to the hotel, I noticed that I needed to use my key card to swipe in. (This is presumably for security, as the front desk is located on the rooftop and there is really nothing going on on the entrance level.) I returned to the front desk and asked the woman there how to enter the hotel on Shabbat and she said that since I couldn't swipe, I could ring the bell. As a Shabbat-observant Jew I can't use either the electric key card or the electric doorbell on Shabbat, and I told her that. She told me ”well then you'll just have to find someone to ring for you.” Shabbat-observant Jews also won't ask someone to do something on Shabbat that they can't do themselves, so I had to wait outside the hotel for a very long time upon returning on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, until someone else came along who was going inside. More generally, there were a couple of gross cleanliness moments. I found a huge cockroach in my shower one morning. I also came back one evening to find the bathmat neatly folded, but sitting in the sink, which was odd and kind of gross. Additionally, the water coming out of the shower smelled persistently sulfuric, which is weird given that Israel has great tap water. Finally, the blackout curtains in my room were stuck closed on one side, obstructing my view from the window and restricting the amount of light that comes into the room. Mid way through my stay, while I was trying to close the curtains on the other side, the dangling handle you use to move the curtain fell off. Rather than fixing it, the housekeeping staff just pushed it under the curtains, where it remained until the end of my stay. All in all, it wasn't a nightmare stay or anything like that. The location is good (though *loud*), and the rooftop pool/lounge is nice. Still, I will never stay here again, certainly not over Shabbat, and if you are a Shabbat observant Jew, you won't want to stay here either.

The room was clean but very noisy. The breakfast area looks very nice, but many tables were blocked due to leaks on the roof and the water dropped down. The staff were friendly and some are able to speak German.

This was our second stay at The David Kempinski Tel Aviv, and it was even more wonderful than our first stay in March 2023 which we thought was wonderful! We’ve already booked our next stay for April 2025. The Executive Horizon Lounge Suite was spectacular! Plenty of room in our corner suite including 2 sofas. Perfectly set up with excellent closet space. The bathroom is huge with a separate shower and tub, and there was a window to bring in natural light. I definitely recommend booking a room/suite that includes the Horizon Lounge since I’ve never experienced a more beautiful lounge with a balcony situated on the 22nd Floor overlooking the beach. There is plenty of delicious food and drinks throughout the day. Breakfasts and Shabbat dinner in Sereia Restaurant are excellent with plenty of delicious choices on the buffets. We even enjoyed having breakfast outdoors. The dining room staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thank you to Noam Katz, Director of Food and Beverage, who made sure that we were treated like royalty throughout our stay. For those who might be unsure about visiting Israel at this time, I actually felt very safe during my week in Tel Aviv. My sister and I walked on the beach promenade every day, dined at restaurants, visited Hostage Square (at the Art Museum), took taxis, went to the Carmel Market, and sat in a park. I highly recommend visiting Tel Aviv and staying at The David Kempinski Tel Aviv!

Just stayed at the Sheraton Grand Tel-Aviv this past weekend! The most amazing attentive staff! Eva, Daria, Helena, Katalina, and Svetlana went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed to start our day off right. Mark was very friendly, helpful, and patient with my daughter. Thank you! And can’t wait to come back!

I was very pleased with my choice of hotel. My home-like room was decorated with a European flair and didn’t have that impersonal aura of rooms in large hotels. The closet was stylish and was well designed which made the unpacking and packing a breeze. The roomy shower was a big plus, I did not have to worry about standing water that can happen in a bathtub. The location makes taking advantage of the busing system easy. As a tea drinker, I appreciated the hot water with no after taste that was provided by the big S/S urn in the patio. The availability of fresh fruit was a thoughtful amenity. As for the staff: before my stay, my email requests for info were answered promptly and were useful and their assistance continued thru my stay. The “owner” is a delightful lady, a very accommodating and hospitable hostess. I recommend the hotel and would stay there again.

Decent hotel poor service— the rooms are small but comfortable. We had a nice room with a view of the sea. The elevators— especially on Shabbat— are very slow and we waited a long time for them. Upon checkout— after we paid and were literally boarding a taxi to the airport- the front desk informed us that there was an additional tax to pay. We had already paid for the room and were in fact checking out a day early and said they should comp us the last night since we were leaving and then use thebalance toward any presumed taxes. The hotel was not crowded and they did not need the room so easily could have done this especially since we were on our way out, had paid and it was there lack of attention that now required us to pay additional taxes. It left an unpleasant feeling and the front attendant Dan was not very helpful or pleasant about it.

First time weve felt an actual sense of hospitality, at a hotel. the staff was so nice and accommodating, the happy hour served was filled with wines cheeses and snacks was amazing, the breakfast was so delicious and had endless varieties to choose from. the obvious things like the hotels location and the room choices with their great views from the terrace were also wonderful. we highly recommend the hotel for anyone who wants a special stay in jaffa with a great location and proximity to all amenities. Were definitely going to visit visit great place again.thank you!
