What guests think
At Jacob Shenkin Hotel, travellers highlight the central, walkable location near Carmel Market and the beach, friendly and helpful staff, and handy extras like the rooftop terrace with a jacuzzi and a lobby coffee corner.
Rooms are consistently small, with several mentions of thin walls, limited blackout, and street or corridor noise. Cleanliness is generally praised, though guests note occasional maintenance issues and some wear on rooftop furniture or amenities. Breakfast is provided via vouchers for nearby cafes and is often enjoyed, but it is not served on site and portions can feel modest. Expect a compact boutique stay with excellent access to Tel Aviv sights and warm service.

C'est un hôtel très confortable. Très bien situé. En face du marché et très accessible par tous les moyens de transport. Il y a un jacousis sur le toit. Ce qui est très sympathique également les chambres ne sont pas très grandes, mais tout le confort est présent et c'est très propre. Donc cela est suffisant

This is a fantastic small hotel in a great location. The staff are warm & helpful . It is an easy place to land in Tel Aviv with the beach, shops & restaurants all in walking distance. The roof top area is a great bonus. Rooms are small but they have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is in a great location and could potentially have a fabulous roof terrace! It is small hotel and the staff were friendly, however they seem to have a shortage of bath towels and not to keen on supplying more when requested.The reason for the low scoring is that the walls between the rooms are so thin we could hear the conversations between the other guests in the room next door and they weren't even talking loudly. The windows and frames are terrible and I actually thought they were open as you could hear the traffic as though it was in the bedroom. The corridors aren't well insulated and you can hear ever sound and doors closing.The roof terrace is the biggest issue. The sunbeds are all ripped or broken, there are exposed screws on the arm rests (where the wooden arm pieces once where) which are dangerous as you could cut yourself. The decking has screws popping up so you could again cut your feet and the other furniture was absolutely rank! It is a massive shame and does not need a fortune spending on the area to make it presentable- probably about £5 -6k is all it would take. Come on Shenkin management team you can do better!!

After trying airbnb in neve Zedek that was filthy and didn’t match the pictures, we evacuated to this hotel, the staff were amazing very helpful, nice, super services oriented. We loved the small jesters like the bubbly wine, cookies, coffee, fruits and snacks, the rooftop was fun, the jacuzzi was 2 small and didn’t feel clean enough but it was the end of the day. We received tiny room without any view or space to put our suitcases, I know the hotel was over booked and they did tried to move us to another room day after we arrived, but we were so tired of moving so we decided to stay in the tiny room. I would recommend this charming hotel for short stay and make sure what room you booked. The crew were amazing and made me feel great, safe and clean. The sheets were cotton and quality, just great. The common area were life saver because the size of our room, but it was charming. Few things I would recommend to the owner: 1. better Maintance 2. larger rooms 3. better insolation, sometimes I thought the rooms’ door was opened but it wasn’t because I could hear everything. 4. The common area was charming but need upgrade, paint, furnitures, pots and plants, more swing chairs and better configuration. # If this could be change this hotel will receive 5 stars what was great is the services of the front desk and the manager Tali that really tried to make our stay amazing

The hotel is very clean and the staff were super helpful. Breakfast, if you purchased it, was at two different cafes and it was amazing. I highly recommend it. The only issue we had was the outside noise, but that's kind of expected, the hotel is in the middle of a big city. I would definitely stay there again.

The classic room was quite compact and doesn't have enough air flow from outside (as you can't open the window) and doesn't have much daylight coming in. It didn't feel very comfortable. There were marks in my bedding. There is a communal area to get hot water and tea/coffee. It would have been great to have a kettle in the room without having to keep going downstairs to get hot water.

I worked hard for four years without taking days off and on march I was short before burning out so I decided to take a break and visit my family in Israel and also check out Tel Aviv for a couple of days alone. The Sheinkin Hotel was one of the reasons why I could finally relax: The staff was extremely nice, the Hotel was clean and quiet, the Breakfast (instead of a Buffet you get coupons for nearby cafes with Breakfasts) was also really good. I ordered Shakshuka everyday. You are only 10 minutes away from the beach and a couple of seconds away from the Carmel Market. Also, at night there are many bars nearby. From this hotel i checked out Tel Aviv entirely by foot because it is in the centre bethween Yafo and the Northern Beaches. Highly recommend.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were really the best part of the whole experience. The standard double room was clean but very small, with a tiny window looking into another building and someone's tiny "backyard". The Hotel description was somewhat misleading about the breakfast. Well, they kind of have it, but not in the hotel. You'd get a voucher and have to walk for about 5 min to a nearby caffee, which opens at 8am.. which is kind of OK, unless you are on a business trip and every 5 min count. So I had to choose between breakfast and catching my flight.

This hotel is extremely noisy, you'll hear everything from your neighbors plus the Ben Gourion airport corridor night and day, not to mention outside. The windows are in no way isolated, and the curtains are too short. As for the young lady at reception, she's busier writing messages on her mobile than saying hello. The only positive thing was my parking space. Skip it During the alarm in Tel Aviv (bomb or missile alarm) the staff didn't bother to check whether their customers were in the shelter.

Location
Very central for walking, close to Carmel Market and within 10–15 minutes of the beach, restaurants and bars; several mention a quiet side street setting. A few note it can be a bit hard to find or that the immediate street feels less charming.

C'est un hôtel très confortable. Très bien situé. En face du marché et très accessible par tous les moyens de transport. Il y a un jacousis sur le toit. Ce qui est très sympathique également les chambres ne sont pas très grandes, mais tout le confort est présent et c'est très propre. Donc cela est suffisant

Excellent location. Walking distance from the Carmel market. Allenby Street and Shenkin. Walking distance of about 10 minutes from the beach. Excellent service. Clean rooms and a rooftop with a jacuzzi that made the stay perfect

This hotel was good. I stayed here and it did everything you need a hotel to do and nothing you don't. Would be nice if it had a coffee shop or breakfast area attached but it was fine. It was a little hard to find though and the specific street wasn't as nice as others that I've stayed on in Tel Aviv. Overall, id stay here again.

This is a fantastic small hotel in a great location. The staff are warm & helpful . It is an easy place to land in Tel Aviv with the beach, shops & restaurants all in walking distance. The roof top area is a great bonus. Rooms are small but they have everything you need for a comfortable stay.

I worked hard for four years without taking days off and on march I was short before burning out so I decided to take a break and visit my family in Israel and also check out Tel Aviv for a couple of days alone. The Sheinkin Hotel was one of the reasons why I could finally relax: The staff was extremely nice, the Hotel was clean and quiet, the Breakfast (instead of a Buffet you get coupons for nearby cafes with Breakfasts) was also really good. I ordered Shakshuka everyday. You are only 10 minutes away from the beach and a couple of seconds away from the Carmel Market. Also, at night there are many bars nearby. From this hotel i checked out Tel Aviv entirely by foot because it is in the centre bethween Yafo and the Northern Beaches. Highly recommend.

Dining
Breakfast is via vouchers for nearby cafes; quality is often praised, though portions can seem small and it's not served on site, with cafe opening times limiting early departures. No consistent feedback on other dining options.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were really the best part of the whole experience. The standard double room was clean but very small, with a tiny window looking into another building and someone's tiny "backyard". The Hotel description was somewhat misleading about the breakfast. Well, they kind of have it, but not in the hotel. You'd get a voucher and have to walk for about 5 min to a nearby caffee, which opens at 8am.. which is kind of OK, unless you are on a business trip and every 5 min count. So I had to choose between breakfast and catching my flight.

The hotel is very clean and the staff were super helpful. Breakfast, if you purchased it, was at two different cafes and it was amazing. I highly recommend it. The only issue we had was the outside noise, but that's kind of expected, the hotel is in the middle of a big city. I would definitely stay there again.

I had a great time and can recommend this place, provided travellers are aware they don't actually provide everything their listing claims. I'll address these first and then list the nice stuff. There is no airport shuttle: they will call you a taxi, which was an additional USD60 each way; although they refused to do this inbound and so I had to find one myself. There are not laundry facilities on site, I was directed to an unsecured public laundromat three blocks away. Although I didn't select breakfast, this also isn't actually offered in the hotel: your $25 becomes a voucher to be used at a nearby cafe. Despite these annoyances, the staff were wonderful, facilities excellent and location fantastic; so much of interest is within a few km so perfect for a walking holiday. Junior room was fine for a solo traveller, but wouldn't suit a couple (it might as well have a king single TBH). Although there are several great cafes nearby, none are cheap, so having a great coffee machine in the lobby was very handy! Also, divine cookies! Also very cool styling in the lobby.

This hotel was very located but a bit rundown and outdated. The rooftop area was lovely but dirty with broken shade umbrellas. The room was tiny. Purchased breakfast wasn’t at the hotel as a typical delicious is Israeli breakfast but rather we got a voucher for nearby restaurants for breakfast. It was Shabbat so we only were able to go to one of those options. I would not rave about that option.
