The hype
Guests rave about the beachfront location and sea views but consistently note the property is in desperate need of a renovation.
Crowne Plaza Tel Aviv Beach
$200-$400 / לילה
הזמן את זה אם Book this if you want a classic, beachfront high-rise with direct access to Gordon Beach and don't mind a slightly dated aesthetic.
למה אנשים אוהבים את זה
- Prime location right on Gordon Beach
- Stunning Mediterranean Sea views from balconies
- Excellent breakfast buffet with local ingredients
סיכום מהיר: It's a classic Tel Aviv beach hotel with an unbeatable location, but the aging infrastructure and spotty maintenance mean it doesn't quite live up to its 5-star billing.
סקור על ידי @fly_with_shalhevet: I had the most relaxing stay at the Crowne Plaza Tel Aviv Beach. The spa's heated stone beds were exactly what I needed to unwind, and finishing the day reading by the massive ocean-facing windows was just incredible. Highly recommend for a pampering weekend!

Reality check
The rooms and bathrooms feel stuck in the 90s, with frequent complaints about moldy grout, musty smells, and slow drainage.
- You want to step out of the hotel directly onto the beach
- You love a massive, traditional Israeli breakfast buffet
- You want to be walking distance to Tel Aviv's marina and promenade
ניקיון וטחזוקה
5.5
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Some guests report spotless rooms, while others complain about dust, unemptied trash, and dirty lampshades.
- Bathroom hygiene: A major weak point. Frequent reports of moldy grout, slow-draining sinks, and a lingering musty smell.
- Maintenance: Poor. The hotel shows its age with broken door handles, cracked walls, peeling paint, and struggling AC units.
- Linens & towels: Hit or miss. Beds generally have clean cotton sheets, but some guests found hairs on pillows and worn-out towels.
- Odors & scents: Noticeable issues. Multiple reviews mention a musty, old water smell in the bathrooms and heavy air fresheners used in the corridors.

טיפים פנימיים
- ✨
Skip the overpriced hotel parking and use the nearby Atarim public parking lot for a slightly better rate.
- ✨
The business lounge on the 9th floor offers great snacks and drinks, but check if your room tier includes access to avoid a hefty daily fee.
- ✨
Request a room on the 9th floor or above; these have been more recently updated compared to the lower floors.
5 דברים שכדאי לדעת לפני שתצא
💡The bathroom doors in some rooms are made of weird see-through frosted glass, offering zero privacy.
💡The hotel shares the building with private apartments, meaning you might hear residential construction work starting at 7 AM.
💡The air conditioning struggles in the summer heat due to the lack of double-glazed windows.
💡The 'rooftop' pool area is actually quite small and sunbeds get claimed very early in the day.
💡The concierge staff sometimes wear uniforms that make them look like maintenance workers, causing confusion.
