About this place HI Eilat Hostel

HI Eilat Hostel is run by the Israel Youth Hostel Association and sits on Derekh Mitsrayim, near the southern end of Eilat. It is listed as gay-friendly, meaning a mainstream hostel, not a gay venue. Like other IYHA hostels, it mixes family rooms with dorms and draws school groups as well as independent travellers. It rates about 4.3 on Google from nearly 1,500 reviews. It is a sensible-value base for beaches, snorkelling at the coral reserve and desert day trips. Eilat has no dedicated gay venues, but the resort town is relaxed. Book early around Israeli holidays, when it fills up.

How simple, so great. The reception staff are friendly and helpful. The room is luxurious at its basic level: wonderfully air-conditioned, incredibly clean, refrigerator, TV, comfortable beds, luxurious bathroom and shower with hot water as needed. The only problem I found was the pillows were large, hard, high and uncomfortable to rest my head on. I highly recommend changing them. A very rich and delicious breakfast. And the location? Opposite the beach, opposite a shopping mall, opposite the sea and the promenade. Really central. Meets all my expectations for a simple vacation for any budget, even if you enjoy 5-star hotels. What a beautiful place.

A really great place...very good and flexible service that responds positively to different requirements. The breakfast is also of a good standard and in short, a very efficient and practical place and very, very recommended. PS: We have always been satisfied with this chain throughout the country and not necessarily in Eilat.

Very good youth hostel with renovated rooms. Location is not as close to the promenade but there are still things to do in the area.
