The on-site restaurant and bar offer a good selection of food and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. (5 reviews)
The property is situated close to the beautiful beaches and the Mediterranean Sea. (4 reviews)
It’s an absolute bargain stay here. Ok, the rooms are small but for the money, you can’t do better.
Staff are friendly and helpful, nice communal area, well stocked bar.

I was already staying in the Hostel and extended my booking, in a capsule room the room was cleaned but I had stains on my pillow cases and had to ask for clean ones and a clean towel as there wasn't one in the room !
There is no breakfast option at this Hostel and you have to use the communal kitchen after purchasing your own food and drinks from the local shops. Also the bar is fully stocked but doesn't open until 3pm and sometimes it's very hard to find the bar staff to serve you as it's not always managed.
There's a laundry room but only one washing machine and one tumble dryer, people leave their washing in them for hours !
The Hostel is situated close to the port and the beautiful beaches and local shops and restaurants.

I stayed in a private bedroom and bathroom at The Spot Hostel, and I was really impressed. The place feels new and well-designed — clean, modern, and with a cool aesthetic that seems to incorporate shipping containers into the structure in a creative way. The vibe is social but relaxed, and the staff were all friendly and welcoming.
There’s a good little restaurant on-site and great coffee in the mornings. The bar feels more like a local hangout than a typical hostel bar, which was a nice surprise. It’s in a fantastic location — just steps from the Mediterranean Sea and surrounded by walkable streets, beaches, and everything you’d want in a coastal city. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a stylish, well-located stay with a chill atmosphere.

Upon arriving at the hostel, I was informed that you had to rent a towel and if you wanted a clean towel everyday then you would have to pay 15 shekels, which is equivalent to £3.50 a day, which is disappointing !
Also there's no breakfast option and the bar drinks are expensive, they had a problem with the WiFi router and it's very slow speed ! But there is unlimited free water ! They have a laundry room but only one washer and one dryer, totally unacceptable considering they have quite a lot of rooms including private rooms at the premises !
Also there's no windows in any of the rooms ! But they do have air-conditioners and curtains on all of the bunk beds for privacy ! And lockers I have the rooms !
It's overpriced for a hostel and the location is convenient to Tel Aviv Port and beaches and local amenities and local transit station and transit routes in and around Israel !

People intervention were very rude and not interested in helping, just interested in payment hand out card key then you could F off until checkout more or less, spell an older guy and one larger guy with cut hair and some longer hat in a short tail in back. Understand why it is the cheapest accommodation in Tel Aviv.
