Silicate Autonomous Hotel in Tel aviv (סיליקאט מלון אוטונומי בתל אביב) - By Loginn hotels

— Summary — Okay value for money — Con’s — While we booked this accommodation expecting a hotel, knowing that everything was going to be autonomous/digital, we felt this was rather a hostel than a hotel. The cleaning service was way below standards, as in they only cleaned once every 4 or 5 days, while being a hotel close to the beach. The room was as small as mentioned in the listing but the balcony was located to a construction site (while we explicitly asked for a quite room). There were some rust and moisture spots in the bathroom, but those were somewhat okay. — Pro’s — The associated bar is very convenient for breakfast and has quite friendly bar tenders. The communication, even though online, is quite efficient and effective. The building is at a 5’ walk from the beach and close to small and larger grocery shops, and scooter rental areas.

יתרונות: המחיר באמת הכי טוב שמצאנו, מיטה נוחה, נקי, מיקום מעולה. חסרונות: אן קבלה, הכניסה לחדר עצמאית ולפעמים קצת מסובכת, אין מעלית, אין מזגן במדרגות ויכול להיות מאוד חם בזמן שמנסים להבין איך פותחים את החדר,. חלק מהדברים קצת שבורים - ידית יציאה למרפסת, כיור בשירותים..לנו לא הפריע. גם החדר המשודרג קטן ומכיל רק מיטה. האם שווה 500 ש"ח?

If you are a tourist, this is just a nightmare. They are asking you to pay an additional 85 shekel after you pay the price for the room. Operators don't know what they are doing. Don't believe this scam. WROST HOTEL EVET

they overbooked our room and rebooked us to a smaller one without even telling us about it, paid full price and got only a fraction of the difference in return... had to contact via mail or whatsapp like 10 times in 5 days "reception is overrated" indeed... drippy ac, tilted fridge, leak, coffeetank, power outage in the middle of the night and so many more annoyances! the location is good tho and maybe if they give you the right room its ok but the standard rooms are just ant sized, cant even close the wardrobe fully as the coat hangers are wider than the actual closet... no way to enter the balcony without a multi phase plan and serious tetris skills, how they fit a table and 2 chair there i dont know! the concept is fine but the execution just terrible, worst hotel website i have ever seen!

The location of this hotel is good, but everything else about it was just awful from the minute we stepped in. There is no reception. A neon sign tells you proudly that "reception is overrated". I can see how management may believe that as probably every guest complained too much about this sad excuse for a hotel. When we entered our room, it was not even close to the picture. That is because it wasn’t the room we had booked. We booked a studio apartment and they gave us a Small studio. My Manhattan bathroom is bigger than this room. The bed was wall-to-wall and there was barely enough place to move. Once we put our luggage in, there was barely enough place to open it. It was filthy beyond any reasonable expectation and had not been cleaned after the previous guest. There were bags of trash every where, the beds were dirty and soiled, and the bed linen and pillows were piled on to the bed, the toilets were not flushed, the "kitchen-sink" was also being used as a trash bin. There was half eaten food even in the bathroom. When I called management, they said that the rooms had already been cleaned. There was not a single person on site that you could speak to. Then they informed me that my check-in time had been changed from 3PM-5PM. Not sure how that is even allowed because we paid for the whole day. After a lengthy argument over the phone, they let us stay for the night as a favour. The new room seemed close to what we had booked. We offered to pay extra to let us have this new room they had us in for the night, which is what we had booked. They refused. Everything about this place was "unapologetically" bad. The kitchen advertised is nothing more than a kettle and a coffee machine on a shelf and a microwave placed in a closet which is cumbersome to use at best. The “balcony” in our room was enclosed. If you opened the window to the enclosed balcony, all you saw was a chute with piles of air conditioners humming all day and night. The chute was also filled with mosquitoes, so we had to choose between a few breaths of fresh air or not being bitten alive. This was supposed to be the start of a romantic week which this hotel has managed to ruin. I can only give a one star rating because I can’t give a negative five. Don’t book with this or any of their other hotels. In addition, they have put a deposit of $89 on my account with will be refunded in 30 days. We stayed at 3 other hotels in Israel and none of them charged us this money. This place should really be shut down it was so awful.
