The Norman Tel Aviv

ארוחת בוקר וחדר

Everything – staff, location, food, room - very good

Usually I like the place. This time it’s seems the place don’t worth it anymore.

Charming
Authentic

The responsiveness and empathy of staff

I rarely write reviews, but I’m compelled to share our thoughts on the Norman with potential guests debating a stay. The unequivocal answer is YES.

I’ll begin by saying that we’ve stayed at the Kempinski on our last few trips (and even for a few nights on this trip). The Kempinski is nice and new— and on the beach— which has always been important to us. However, after staying at the Norman in a Loft room this past week, it’s undoubtedly our new go to. The beach isn’t so far after all, and we didn’t want to eat the food in the Kempinski’s Horizon lounge anyway!

The vibe, service, food, location and rooftop pool at the Norman especially stood out for us. This isn’t a large, convention hotel catering to the masses. The Norman is a wonderful boutique with personalized service, intentional follow-up and delicious food (both Alena and Dinings). It felt like our own oasis in the middle of a local Tel Aviv neighborhood— with the meals we’d search for even if we weren’t hotel guests.

We loved the small balcony off our room to sip wine or coffee and watch the city moving. From before we arrived until we departed, we were also impressed with the Norman’s digital communication space (I would say messages were monitored in close to real time).

In full transparency there were two minor things we mentioned to the front desk on departure- 1) the room was extremely dark, even with the dimmer on full power, 2) room felt humid and had a faint mildew odor despite the dry climate.

Thank you again for a terrific stay. We can’t wait to return to Tel Aviv just to stay at the Norman!!

המקום מהמם המלון מהמם אבל לא מצדיק מחיר כזה יקר שלא קיבלנו כלום בתמורה !

מושלם

Always talking honestly is the key to win peoples not just heart, but attention as well, cause without honesty and sharing experience, we will never be able to write truthy about how lifestyle to the world about what we acutely deal with, and others reaction.

Sometimes the hottest day of the week is not Friday or Saturday, but for some reason its Thursday, and nothing more important to feel good and look good, and take your self out to a great dinner, to enjoy not just the food, but the vibe that you always belong to.

Extremely hungry for the food and experience comes with it form such a restaurant at the Norman hotel.

Walking through the lobby, welcomed by the hostess, and been seated to start ordering food, drinks, so on.

Few things bothered me, this whole dinning in hotel specially its a good restaurant, comes with the experience while you wait for waiter, ordering food, bringing the food and checking out.

I didn't get some water as the other tables got, not sure if its selected thing, after ordering appetizer, still no coming back if I needed something.

Appetizer came, was good, ordered main, and was steak I guess was the special cut. This is when it get a bit interesting.

The steak took forever to arrive, don't know why, even I was checking other tables, they got they mains, and some tables who arrive after me, they got their main before I did, and I was before them.

Not enough the main came after a very long time, as I told them I'm very very hungry, the steak came really cold, and for a steak to come cold is a very big no no, specially from a hotel such a name and a restaurant belong to the find dinning.

When I start eating as I'm really hungry, the waiter came and told him its cold, and by the time the manager came, it was even colder, and even for them to offer to get it back, it will be frozen and I'm extremely hungry.

I was managed by Noa as she was the restaurant manager, I told her what happen as I don't think my night is getting any better.

As I think she felt bad for me and offer me coffee. But I was really hungry for not just great food as I expected and wanted, that's why I came to the Norman, but everything was really bad, I think the table who came after me and got their burger before me, enjoy it more, than my expensive table order that I had, as much as its funny but its true.

I ordered desert as I think its always the best to eat when you hungry, and it was really good as I have to give it the credit. The cheesecake I ordered was better than the steak and the appetizer and the bad experience put all together.

Noa was trying to make my night from mislabel to something as ok, she was really sweet and I very like her as she was trying, but deep inside, you say, this is Norma hotel and the restaurant and hotel should know better, and this should be a no to happen.

Sharing such experiences with my 55000 readers and still growing, is something I love explaining that, sometimes, big names do not mean to be wow amazing, even I speak highly about this hotel to all my friends, as small places could be way better and enjoyable, than expensive orders as mind, and I didn't feel anything, as I walked out, and I said, I ordered, I didn't enjoy, I paid, I tipped as well, and walked away as something was missing, instead of say, this is it for the night, perfect ending and time to go sleep, but was more for like go and buy something better to eat.

We had a truly delightful stay at this exceptional hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the beautifully maintained property, which offers a perfect balance of comfort, style, and relaxation.

The culinary experience exceeded our expectations — every meal was thoughtfully prepared, featuring fresh ingredients and a variety of flavorful options that catered to all tastes. Dining at the hotel was consistently a pleasure.

The staff deserves special mention for their outstanding service. Warm, attentive, and highly professional, every team member contributed to a welcoming and accommodating atmosphere throughout our stay.

The pool area was another highlight —well-designed, and ideal for relaxation. It added significantly to the overall sense of leisure and rejuvenation.

We sincerely appreciated every aspect of our time at this hotel and would enthusiastically recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality, enjoyable vacation experience.
