Boka detta om You want to be the main character in a Tel Aviv movie, sipping espresso on Dizengoff Square while ignoring the honking buses below.
Varför människor älskar det
- Prime location directly on the iconic Dizengoff Square
- Rooftop infinity plunge pool with killer city views
- Café Mayer downstairs serves a breakfast that locals actually line up for
Snabb Överblick: A stylish, hyper-central boutique hotel where the energy of the city is the main amenity—and the main source of noise.
Recenserat av @travelwithhilla: I stayed right on Dizengoff and the energy is insane. The rooftop pool is my favorite spot to chill above the city noise. Having breakfast at Cafe Mayer downstairs felt so authentic, not like a typical hotel buffet. If you want to be in the center of everything, book this.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is there parking at Mayer House?
No. You must park at the nearby Dizengoff Center garage. Expect to pay around 85 NIS (~$23) for 24 hours, or less for overnight-only (18:00-09:00).
Is the pool open year-round?
Yes, the rooftop pool is heated, making it usable even in Tel Aviv's mild winter, though it's small.
Does the hotel have a gym?
No. There is a spa for massages, but no fitness room with weights or cardio machines.
How is the breakfast?
Excellent. It's served at the popular Café Mayer downstairs and features high-quality local dishes like shakshuka and fresh breads, rather than a generic continental buffet.
Is it noisy?
Yes, it can be. You are on one of the busiest streets in Tel Aviv. While windows are double-glazed, sensitive sleepers should request a high floor or bring earplugs.
Can I bring my dog?
No, the hotel has a no-pet policy, though service animals are generally permitted with documentation.
Insider-tips
- ✨
Guests often receive a welcome treat of wine and chocolates—don't rush straight to the room, let the front desk pamper you.
- ✨
The rooftop bar 'Rooftop 98' is a local hotspot in the evening; as a guest, you have priority access, so go up for sunset.
- ✨
Ask for a room ending in a higher number to potentially be further from the elevator shaft.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'sewage' smell in the lobby: It's a recurring complaint in reviews, likely due to city infrastructure, but thankfully doesn't reach the rooms.
💡The pool size: It looks huge in photos but is realistically a 'plunge' pool—great for a dip with a cocktail, impossible for laps.
💡The 'Chickpea Omelet': A vegan breakfast option at Café Mayer that even non-vegans rave about.
💡The elevator wait: With only one main elevator for guests and rooftop visitors, you might wait a bit during sunset hours.
💡The 'Towel Pass': You might need to grab a specific card or pass from the front desk to get a towel on the roof, which can be annoying if you forget.
