I had a great time at Old Jaffa's Penthouse Boutique Hostel. The location is super convenient, right near the famous flea market and the beautiful coastline. However, I did find the multiple access codes a bit of a hassle and the noise from other guests made it tough to sleep sometimes.

The hostel had a rooftop commons area, but unfortunately, the weather wasn't nice during my visit. There were also codes to access different areas, which felt a little excessive.

I had a mixed experience at Old Jaffa's Penthouse Boutique Hostel. While the location is fantastic, being close to both the Old Jaffa port and the famous flea market, my stay was marred by some communication issues. Even though I was pleased with the cleanliness and comfort of my room, the complicated entry system caused some frustration. Overall, the boutique feel of the hostel is charming, but improvements in customer service would enhance the experience.

I enjoyed my stay at Old Jaffa's Penthouse Boutique Hostel. It was definitely one of the few places that offered decent pricing in such an expensive city. The location was fantastic, being very close to the beach and the flea market. However, it wasn't soundproof, and there were some noise issues at night that could be bothersome.
