Tel Aviv / Accommodation / Good Value


 

Built in the 1930s as the Esther Cinema, this was one of the first movie theaters in Israel. Today, it serves as one of Israel’s only true “boutique” hotels, combining 82 simply-designed rooms and low-key service with original cinematic details, such as movie posters, film projectors and theater chairs. There are business facilities and a jacuzzi, though the Cinema’s best feature is clearly its Dizengoff Circle location, making it literally close to everything.

 

It may not be hip or chic, but the Hotel Metropolitan wins big for its city center location (close to the beach and the business district), efficient service and low prices. Popular with mostly European tour groups, the hotel includes a pool and small fitness centre, multi-lingual staff and rooms equipped to handle laptop modems. A smart choice for travellers on a budget.
