Hotel Montefiore

Good location, but I won't come back, no business, no club member benefits, small portions, very crowded

Spectacular property in Tel Aviv. It’s in the area called the White City and is surrounded by beautifully renovated properties, lively cafes, and fabulous restaurants. I cannot say enough about the staff who work there. They were helpful beyond the call of duty. It’s a happening place with the bar and restaurant crowded, but we heard nothing from our room. You must have a least one dinner at the hotel. The chef was pumping out some of the best food we’d had in israel. I highly recommend this fabulous and historic hotel (I had booked at the Norman, but decided to give this place a chance). I am so glad I did. Highly recommended!

Wow, a superb hotel! Based in an art deco style building, beautifully preserved and upgraded. The room was beautiful with high class toiletries. Dinner was perfectly prepared and so tasty. If this was good, the breakfast was even better. A great choice, with the porridge simply delicious. Not something you would normally associate with porridge. Above all, it’s the staff that really excel. Always smiling and welcoming, with nothing any problem. The reception staff, especially Romi, could not have done a better job. A standard that every hotel I have stayed with could aspire to.

The hotel, its facilities and staff, is fantastic! The people running the hotel at all levels made an extraordinary effort to ensure our comfort and made our stay as pleasant as possible. The outstanding restaurant and the free parking were a terrific bonus. The hotel is very highly recommended!

I heard a lot about the hotel and had great expectations but it was very disappointing. The bar and the restaurant are trendy and very animated at night, but the hotel part needs to be refreshed (it was renovated in 2008). The decoration is not up to date very "masculine", and many details are not at the level expected for this standard. Service is lalso somewhat unprofessional, it seems that the staff doesnt care at all about customers, they are talking and joking between themselves, I never felt "at home" nor welcomed. My advice: go for a drink or dinner but do not stay at the hotel.

This hotel was for my needs. It has an elegant, charming style in a renovated colonial building. The rooms are well thought out with a carafe of free filtered water, very comfortable bed and a leather arm chair with ottoman to relax in. Mini bar and in room snacks have some amazing options from local vendors. The restaurant is very very good and I had several dinners there and breakfast everyday. You should make reservations as it is totally unreasonable to expect a small hotel with a small but outstanding restaurant to set enough tables aside for hotel guests who want a table just a few hours before dinner and room service is very good and a good option. The area is great and you great free gym passes to a local gym. It’s true that the front desk is often very busy with the restaurant but they are also very efficient. I’m an independent traveler so I don’t have many needs from hotel staff but the few times I needed something they were very helpful. In my opinion with the ability to make reservations for local restaurants online, apps for cabs and so much information online regarding local sites the need for hotel staff assistance isn’t what it used to be. So this hotel was perfect for me but if you are looking for common areas or a roof top this is probably not the hotel for you. There are a few chairs in the lobby that one can sit in for a bit but that’s it. However if you want a beautiful hotel in a very nice area with great food, atmosphere and an outstanding staff this hotel won’t disappoint.

Perfect. Good location, colonial-style decoration. Rooms very nicely decorated as well. Continental breakfast was very good. Try the restaurant, it is amazing. Staff was very welcoming, and answering to any inquiries on the spot (e.g. iron and table). I’ll definitely come back, and I strongly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed the boutique feel and vibe of this hotel. A bit different than other boutique hotels in that the front desk is very busy during lunch and dinner handling the restaurant. Our room was spacious. Location is great as you are close to restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. Breakfast, although not fast, was excellent (and not the typical buffet). Highly recommend.

Don’t be put off by the approach, where a lot of work is going on, this is a destination well worth the visit. We stayed in the hotel, and ate in the restaurant, both are impressive. The overwhelming feeling is one of young people having fun. The rooms are well set out, clean and well supplied. The restaurant is excellent. The staff, - all young, helpful and enthusiastic, - just add to the experience. The overall feeling is ‘fun’, ‘chill and enjoy yourself’. We did. Thank you.

The heating in the room was out of order. The room was freezing cold, with no alternative heating. All that was offered was another blanket, which was not sufficient. While I was getting a cold, I got nothing but useless apologies. Stay away if your health matters to you.
