Having never stayed at a POD, I was a wee bit nervous. Wasred energy. THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC ‼️‼️‼️ Dead quiet lodging. The PODS are cozy, comfy with A/C and cubbies for personals. All linens and towels provided. Private locker for the big stuff. Communal toilets and shwers are immaculate. A huge fantastic lounge with beautiful terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Minutes walk to the pristine beach. 10 minutes to Jaffa LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION I can not reiterate how wonderful the managing men are 💗 No question too small No need too large ALL the managers💗Friendly faces, no matter the hour.

SOLO WOMEN DO NOT STAY HERE OPod hotel stole $300 from me and I was mocked in Hebrew for pointing this out. They also threatened to 'sue' me in the Israeli small claims court (idk exactly what its called) for pointing this out. After 4 hours with Expedia they said they would refund me but never did. The manager George was not available over 4 days to see me. Only after I checked out. He had my contact details and never got in touch. I am an experienced traveler and this was the worst hotel I have stayed at. Opod staff define misogyny. DO NOT trust them. Unsafe. Ruined my week in Israel Palestine. George you still have my contact, why dont you get off your lazy backside and get in touch with Emma L who stayed in July 2023.

Here’s a summary of my review: lots of good things, a suggestion for travellers, and some constructive feedback for management. Overall, our experience at OPod was good. Facilities were neat and clean and staff were quite helpful. Premises were larger than expected, with a sizeable sea-facing common area with high chairs and counter for meals or workstation. Outdoor balcony area as well. Very centrally located - close to beaches, restaurants and Old Jaffa City. Good value for your money in a pricey part of town. Recommendation: pods are comfortable but tight, and climbing in and out can be tricky. Not for those with mobility issues, or if your older and find maneuvering into small spaces awkward. Definitely suited to younger and more agile travellers. Feedback. We stayed three nights and had a family in our section who were loud, prepared meals in their pod, and were up and down until well after midnight. We mentioned it to staff who spoke to the family but to no avail. They continued and no one addressed the disturbance further. It affected our sleep and enjoyment of the pod. Staff needed to be more firm and I suggest a ‘quiet time’ in pods from 11m-6am.

Very nice common areas, basic pod, but poorly executed hotel layout / design. The bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often with the amount of use they get. The layout of the shower cubclicles and toilets was quite tight, and no practical shelves or hooks for clothes and toiletries. Unfortunately the hand air dryer is located right next to the pods, meaning the pods adjacent to or above (due to a metal grate walkway for upper level pods) can hear the very loud air dryer that sounds like a vacuum every time it goes off, at all times of day and night. The walls of the pod were very thin so external noise could be heard easily. The pod was basic, had some under bed draws, but needed more than zero sheliving. The deluxe pod had a nice semi-private balcony and view of the beach.

I read a lot of reviews for the property since finding something basic walking distance to old city and decent price seemed like impossible task. Honestly the place is pretty cool for what it is. You get a sleep space. I figured out I might be a little claustrophobic in the small pods and I got the tall one it was perfect! Make sure you have earplugs for sleeping if you are a light sleeper. AC worked fine, coming from someone from Canada fist night in Israel. Staff is super friendly, you have everything you need on the premises.

FALSE ADVERTISING - the original ad on Expedia showed a picture of a full room. I was given the desc of full room. When I got there, I was given a bed inside a cage (they use a fancy word of pod for it) and insisted that I knew what I was getting and there would be no cancellation. I want every penny of my money back!

We apologize for the bad experience and will do our best to improve. The photos you saw of the hotel were provided by an external channel. Our descriptions of the pods are available to be seen on our website. We do have full room luxury suits that we can provide to our guests, should you wish to stay with us again in the future.

I like it because the markets were close it was easy to walk around. Almost everything it was close, also the beach The only thing I didn't like when they gave me the capsule (room) I found hair on the ''clean sheets'' i think maybe the person who change the sheets don't grab the hair also the glass door the glass door had many fingerprints, the capsule they give us. I think it should be clean even if there are glass doors in the (room or capsule) the bathrooms are clean expect they only scrubbed the toilet inside but they didn't clean them from the outside and I never saw they vacuum the carpet in the hallway where the capsules .. The staff some were friendly and others were not the supervisor was very friendly but the manager needs more customer service. but to stay for 2 days is perfect.
