Your Tel Aviv backpacking trip. Your to-do list.

Backpacking around Tel Aviv? You're in the right place. Spend your days on the 5 km promenade, chilling on Frishman Beach, or wandering Old Jaffa's cobblestone corners. For nightlife: bar-hop in Florentin, sip craft beers on Rothschild, or dance by the beach. Looking for a hostel in Tel Aviv? Let's be real: you deserve better. Crash in our comfy rooms with private bathrooms and in-room lockers next to your bed, hostel-like facilities AND prices that keep your trip on a budget.

Looking for a comfortable, convenient and affordable place to stay? We've got everything you need for your trip, from a 24-hour bar and fast Wi-Fi to coffee in the lobby, plus a location that makes it easy to see the best of Tel Aviv, whether you're here for work, sightseeing or a bit of both.

Here, you get the best of both worlds: a great location in the authentic south of the city, close to bohemian Florentin, with easy access to the beach, the White City and everything in between. Great food and iconic markets are right around the corner, and the White City's Bauhaus streets are just a short ride away. When you're ready to explore, Levinsky Market, Florentin and Neve Tzedek are within walking distance, and the promenade and Old Jaffa are quick to reach by bus or bike.

What are the best hostels in Tel Aviv?

Looking for the best hostels in Tel Aviv? Skip the dorm chaos and stay at the MEININGER Hotel Tel Aviv for hostel prices with hotel perks. Multi-bed rooms sleep up to 6, with private bathrooms and in-room lockers next to the beds. Add free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout, 24-hour reception, a lively hotel bar, a guest kitchen for cheap meals, laundry and daily cleaning in dorms. We're near HaHagana station, around 20 minutes door to door from Ben Gurion Airport. The beach is a short bus ride away, and Florentin's nightlife is within walking distance.

Where’s the best area to stay in Tel Aviv for backpackers?

As a backpacker, you want easy transport and great neighborhoods within reach, right? Neve Sha'anan delivers: a direct 10-minute train to Ben Gurion Airport, buses to the beach, and quick access to Florentin (nightlife), Carmel Market (street food), Neve Tzedek (galleries) and Jaffa (old city vibes). Tip: grab a Rav-Kav card and use trains and buses to save on taxis. Our hotel ticks all those boxes and has a bar where other travelers hang out at night.

Where can I stay in Tel Aviv on a budget?

The MEININGER Hotel Tel Aviv has it all: shared mixed rooms & female shared rooms at budget rates, private bathrooms, free high-speed Wi-Fi, a shared guest kitchen, laundry facilities, a 24/7 reception and a hotel bar where solo travelers like you can meet. Tel Aviv isn't cheap, but we make your accommodation budget-friendly.

Where to stay in Tel Aviv for nightlife?

The MEININGER Hotel Tel Aviv is THE place. Walking distance to Florentin's bars, the Promenade's clubs, and Rothschild Boulevard's cocktail spots, plus a 24/7 reception for when you roll in at sunrise. The light rail runs late on weekends, and Gett ride-shares and local taxis are reliable. Tel Aviv's nightlife peaks Thursday–Saturday and tends to start late, so don't bother showing up before 11 PM. Our hotel bar is a perfect pre-game spot (or post-game, honestly).

How do I get from the airport to the hotel on a budget?

Take the train! A direct train from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv HaHagana station takes about 10 minutes and runs every 30 minutes (except from Friday evening to Saturday evening, for Shabbat). On Shabbat, hop in a sherut shared taxi or a regular taxi. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from the station, and signage is in Hebrew and English, so it's easy to find your way.

Is Tel Aviv good for solo backpackers?

Absolutely! Tel Aviv is walkable and welcoming to solo travelers. English is everywhere: on menus, signs and transport announcements. Public transport is cheap with a Rav-Kav card, and the new Red Line light rail connects all the key neighborhoods. The beach culture is social, the café scene is friendly, and free walking tours (in English) run daily from Rothschild Boulevard. Our hotel bar and lounge are natural hubs for meeting other solo travelers, plus you've got 24-hour reception, so late-night arrivals are never a problem.
