Jo Hotel

Overpriced, dirty and most of the advertised services, like a bar or restaurant are not functioning. The room is hot like an oven and the air-conditioning stops automatically every 10 minute or so, even when you in the room. Instead of a normal place to hang your clothes you get a clothes rail. The area is a mix of second hand car garages and a building site. In short, i won't be coming back there ever

Staff are friendly

The staff are fantastical

Small rooms, terrible area to stay in, doesn’t feel very safe.

Photos are misleading

The pool upstairs is a joke, the hotel owner ovadia refused to refund my money when I asked to leave.

There are plenty of other great options in tel aviv for this price, do yourself a favour and don’t stay there.

Happy with the room, check in ok

Restaurant only did breakfast so no food whatsoever, no room service. View from room was an office block which was like 10 Meters away, tap on bathroom was falling off. At least they had a bottle of water in the room!

Disappointed with the level of customer service at this hotel. Definitely well below a 5 star as advertised.

We stayed at the JO Hotel on Shtiebel St 7 from the 29 Dec 2022- 2 Jan 2023.
Before arriving, we had seen very attractive photos of what looked like, and was described as, a boutique hotel. We understood it was a fairly and newly built hotel – which became clear to us when arriving. The staff and general lobby seemed fine. But our room (307) did not quite live up to our expectations.
When stepping out of the elevator (which had the screen below the push buttons cracked), we entered a room which dirty fingerprints all over the light walls. It really looked like sloppy carpentry. Small finishes were poorly made. Not only were the walls dirty from what looked like fingerprint and what not, but the air condition in the room also had dust around its fan blades. In the bathroom, it really seemed like the shower niche was missing a tile. Other tiles were laid in a non-symmetrical way - and they had broken edges! We honestly don’t know whether their room service is set within a specific but large time frame, but for the first two days room service came later then 15:30 where we had been out all day and was relaxing in the room. All in all, the condition of our room left us with a feeling of disappointment, and we feel we have paid for something that didn’t quite live up to the expectations based on marketed claims and general hygiene standards for a hotel room with that rating (level of stars), and we would like to seek some kind of refund.

The property is locate in a upcoming neighborhood; we walk everywhere, close by is a lot of restaurants at 10 min walk. We felt safe around hotel at night. The rooftop have a nice view of the midtown area. The room was big and if you planning to work you have to go to the lobby since is not desk at the room. They storage our luggage almost all day and they call us a taxi once we were ready to go to the airport. The taxi driver give us the option to charge us by meter of fix rate. We ask for fox price and we paid $140 Shekel.

Small, unique and modern

Good hotel.

We had an amazing 2 day stay - the staff were wonderful and we really enjoyed our time there. We would highly recommend!

I stayed at this hotel for 11 days as I was working in the area and didn't need or want to be in tourist area. The immediate area is busy with car and motorbike garages but that wasn't an issue for me. There are coffee shops and supermarkets in close vicinity to meet your needs. Sarona market and a large Designer Mall are just a short walk away. There are buses that will take you into Tel Aviv and the beaches. If you're brave you could take a scooter.
I had a room only booking so can't comment on the breakfast, although it sounded pricey at 80 NIS a head. I had a fridge, coffee machine and kettle in my room, so I could purchase snacks for my own consumption. The hotel provided coffee, coffee capsules, tea bags of different sorts, water bottle and paper cups. They were happy to provide me with milk, but I purchased my own and kept it in the fridge. There was no hotel restaurant open the rest of the day, but you could use Wolt to deliver!
My room was on 6th floor and had a balcony. The bedroom had a double bed which was very comfortable, a desk, large TV with multiple channels and Netflix and YouTube options. There was aircon, so it was easy to sit in doors for the day and work. The bathroom had a shower, toilet and sink, which were all clean and useable, there was a strange smell that I couldn't locate but it wasn't too problematic. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion were all available as well as clean small and large towels.
I only managed to get to the rooftop pool a couple of times. The space is small and there are sunbeds and chairs. Opening times are limited to 10.30-5pm although I am aware that people were using it at other times. Clean pool towels are available with changing rooms and toilets. There is a bar although it wasn't open when I visited.
The only issues were that there were no clothes hanging space, only a set of drawers instead I used the hooks in the bathroom to hang my work dresses.
Also I had an electric failure of plugs for fridge and coffee machine/kettle - the staff moved these into the bedroom with the promise that this would be fixed and resited. This did happen, so I was happy that they kept their word. There is a safe in the room which is free to use.
The cleaners came everyday, sometimes I was working in my room, but they were polite and friendly, so I want to say thank you for their hard work

I was very happy at Jo Hotel, some staff were friendlier than others but I had little dealings with them most of the time. They were responsive if I did have any issues.

Ive checked in the hotel, the room which i spent my whole night in the bathroom was smelling not clean, the fabric of the bed sheets was not good. The service there was no service. Breakfast egg smelled bad too as i paid extra for breakfast. Anyway its not a hotel expirence i must say.

I feel terrible for recommending this place to coworkers who similarly had such a terrible experience they both changed hotels in the middle of their stay.

It’s loud (thin walls, clubs in the area), a party hotel (pool had empty glass bottles, cigarettes everywhere, trash), and the hotel doesn’t seem to enforce its own rules about guests, smoking, etc. I woke up one morning to my room filled with cigarette smoke, probably from a neighbor. The shower was poorly constructed and constantly leaked into the room whenever I turned the shower on. The first day, one of the towels had a giant yellow stain right in the middle of it.

The shower had mold on the ceiling (I forgot to get a photo of it), the walls were dirty, and the staff were rude- from the woman telling everyone to leave the pool area before the posted hours to the front desk staff.

My coworker was so aghast about her experience she tried to leave early and the hotel tried to hold her hostage by withholding a refund on her remaining nights at the hotel in exchange for not posting a review about her experience.

I truly hope people see this review and think twice about staying here. To put the cherry on top, a friend came to pick me up one morning and noted that it appeared that the building right next door was a food distribution center for homeless people. Buyer beware.. of everything about this hotel.

This is a 3 star hotel

Property is in an industrial area but very centrally located. On the most part everything including the staff, was excellent. My only complaint is I felt that housekeeping was inattentive. For instance, when I checked in the safe was locked, and the soap dispensers were empty.

I’ve never stayed at a hotel that was so deceptive: the pictures of the rooms are completely false and the hotel has zero amenities, zero service and is in a horrible location

It was horrible, the AC didn’t work and it was so cold they get us another room and didn’t clean it at all, a lot of noises from children running and screaming u can hear everything from the room next to you, the service wasn’t good when we complained about the noises we have been told that children will go to sleep soon.

We enjoy everything
Good service nice people
