The White House Hotel At Dizengoff Square

The location, wonderful. Sleeping in a Bauhaus round corner room, even better. Nice square just beside the Hotel with a couple of good restaurants, and a cinema accross de street.

For some reason, the reception didn't have his best day when we arrived. Our rooms were not ready (true it was 12:30, earlier than the "agreed 15:00) But a group of four Italian late comers, without a reservation, got it in front of us.

Location: just steps from the square, with many restaurants and cafes around (some of which have outside seating, with heating), and many remain open during Shabbat (which is truly important if you are not Jewish). Most places are in walking distance, even old Jaffa. Check-in/out: fast. Receptionists were friendly and helpful. At reception: Free espresso/ cappuccino throughout the day/ Happy hour: Free champagne between 7-9 pm. Wifi: Worked fine (but you had to reconnect whenever you returned. Hotel rooms are located in an apartment building. Our room faced the inner courtyard, it was relatively quiet, if you disregard the people next to us whose young child made a lot of noise. Room was relatively spacious, with a large cupboard, tea/coffee making facility and a desk. Bathroom: rather small but sufficient. Plenty of hot water. Complimentary shampoo, shower gel and conditioner. Breakfast: served in a café across the street. You had several options to choose from, three of which come with a cup of coffee or tea (unfortunately, no juice and no refills). Lovely courtyard (when it was not raining), some adorable cats.

A bit pricy, but then again, everything in Isreael was pricy. Hotel exterior could do with a revamp. Room needed at least a chair - the only place we had to sit on was the bed.
