Inn TLV is a no-frills aparthotel in the Neve Sha’anan neighborhood, close to the Central Bus Station and Levinsky Street, with studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments that have kitchenettes, refrigerators and microwaves. Guests can use a rooftop terrace, a garden and laundry facilities, and the building has an elevator and air conditioning. It is not a polished address, and the area is a working, multicultural part of the city rather than a leisure district, but it is one of the most affordable ways to get an apartment-style base with space to cook. Rothschild Boulevard is about fourteen minutes away on foot, and the beach is a short ride.
Location and getting around
Levinsky Street is two minutes on foot and Levinsky Market is about ten minutes away, so spices, dried fruit and street food are close. Rothschild Boulevard is around fourteen minutes on foot and the Nachalat Binyamin pedestrian mall about fifteen. The HaHagana train station is about seven minutes away on foot, and the Allenby light rail station is around fifteen, which makes the airport and the rest of the city easy to reach without a car.
Ben Gurion Airport is about nineteen minutes by road. The Carmel Market and the beaches need a short taxi, bus or bicycle ride.
Rooms and facilities
The apartment layouts give more room than a standard hotel room, which suits longer stays and families who want to cook. There is free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, luggage storage, a concierge and tour and ticket assistance. Parking is not offered. Check-in is in the afternoon and early evening, so tell the property in advance if you will arrive late.
Check-out is early in the morning, with late check-out available for a fee, subject to availability. Pets are not allowed. Breakfast arrangements vary, and the neighborhood has plenty of cafés and bakeries, so check when you book what each rate includes.
Who it suits
Budget travelers, backpackers who want a private apartment instead of a hostel dorm and families or small groups who value a kitchen. It is less suited to travelers who want a polished neighborhood, a hotel lobby or a beach on the doorstep. Take sensible care at night, as you would in any large city, and consider a taxi back after dark. If you want a lively social scene, Abraham Hostel Tel Aviv is a better fit, and if you want the beach, look at the hotels along the promenade.
Making the most of a stay
Shop for breakfast at the nearby bakeries and market, use the rooftop in the evening and plan your days around the light rail and the train. Choosing an apartment over a seafront room can free up budget for tours and dinners in Jaffa and Neve Tzedek.
