Colourful and cool, with a beachy and laid-back vibe, Yam Hotel is one of the nicer budget-friendly hotels in Tel Aviv. The hotel is located close to the port, and while the surrounding buildings are nothing to write home about, here you are steps away from the beach and lots of great places to eat and drink. On the other side of the hotel from the port you’ll also find Park Hayarkon, one of the largest green spaces in Tel Aviv, so there is ample opportunity around here to stretch your legs.

Yam’s 42 rooms are clean and comfortable, and we recommend opting for balcony room for that extra bit of space at a fraction more cost. Breakfast here is straightforward and will nourish you for the day ahead, and guests rate this hotel for the friendly staff, who are always happy to hand out local recommendations of things to see and do in this lively city.
