Prior to visiting the hotel I read the reviews online, and I found them to be very accurate and helpful. I am very happy I chose Melody Tel Aviv.
The hotel was very modern, clean and well equipped. The staff was friendly, courteous, helpful and always willing to answer any questions I had.
The location was perfect for my needs. It was easy getting there from the airport. You are only one block away from the city's shops and restaurants. The beach is a short walk through the park across the street. A very convenient and central location.
The rooms are not large, but great none the less. The large comfortable bed was great for sleeping and watching TV. The desk was perfect for using the free Internet while enjoying the view. I especially loved the fantastic views of the park, beach and sea form the large windows. You can open them or use the AC.
I appreciated the clean, tiled bathroom, I loved the shower area and the many small details (built-in dryer, soaps/shampoo, tissues).
The hotel breakfast was very good and the sitting area felt like a nice little European café. The "happy hour" was held in the same area, a nice family friendly affair.
If you want to go to the beach the hotel offers a "beach kit" complete with towel, water and a chair. I strongly recommend borrowing a free bicycle from the hotel.
If you want to visit Jerusalem and other cities the hotel offers guided tours, they pick you up at the hotel and bring you back again. The city tour bus stops just down the street.
I would visit this hotel again, I highly recommend it.
