Maxim Hotel Tel Aviv

Initial impression was very positive, starting with the open, welcoming manner at Reception. We were greeted warmly and given clear information about the hotel and facilities. The staff as a body were helpful, patient, courteous and accommodating, with a number of individuals giving outstanding customer service. The room was comfortable and well arranged with good tea/coffee making facilities and useable wardrobe / cupboard space for a full week's stay. The breakfast buffet was excellent with a selection of fruit juices, wide range of foods and local hot and cold dishes on offer, which varied daily through the week. A very nice selection of bread, rolls and croissants. For residents there was also very tasty, proper hot soup of varying sorts available early evening each day, followed by wine, as well as fresh fruit and the 'grind it to order' coffee machine (no charge) 24/7 with every type of coffee (and good tea selection to the side) you could wish for available. These bonus facilities, coupled with the pleasant café and lounge areas made the place feel a great deal more inviting and appealing than virtually anywhere else we have stayed. The hotel location is ideal, within a stone’s throw of Tel Aviv main beach. The secure hotel garage in the basement proved an excellent facility, if a bit of a challenge to negotiate due to the typically cramped layout. Not bookable but a quick phone call in advance to check available spaces meant we were able to use when needed without any problems. We would gladly return to the Maxim Design Hotel, without hesitation, on any future visit.

The bathroom is a bit cramped due to wedge shape - space in the main bedroom at the expense of the bathroom. The bathroom door was frosted glass and not at all sound or light proof. But it worked OK.
