Hotel Nordoy

Hotel Nordoy is a mid-range hotel at 27 Nahalat Binyamin Street in central Tel Aviv, Israel, and is described as one of the oldest active hotels in the city. Nahalat Binyamin is a largely pedestrian lane in the Lev HaIr area, home to a well-known crafts fair, and the hotel sits close to the Carmel Market, which is one of Tel Aviv's busiest food markets. Allenby Street, Rothschild Boulevard and the Shalom Meir Tower area are within walking distance, and the beach is roughly a fifteen to twenty-five minute walk or a short taxi ride away. Ben Gurion Airport is typically 30 to 45 minutes away by road. The long history of the property gives it a lived-in, traditional character that contrasts with the newer design hotels nearby, and it appeals to travellers who prefer an unpretentious base in the middle of the old commercial core. Accommodation is offered in Standard Rooms and Double Rooms, with rates generally from about 500 to 1,000 ILS per night depending on season. Listed amenities are free wifi and air conditioning, and no on-site restaurant, pool or spa is listed, so guests rely on the many cafes, bakeries and market stalls in the surrounding streets for meals. This keeps the stay simple, and the market-side location means a wide variety of inexpensive food is available within a couple of minutes on foot. Service is straightforward and oriented to independent, budget-conscious leisure travellers and couples on short city breaks. Because of the market and crafts fair, the street can be loud and crowded, especially on fair days and Friday afternoons, so light sleepers should ask for a quieter room. Booking in advance is sensible for holidays, summer and spring or autumn weekends. Travellers should check recent reviews, as room standards in older buildings can vary.
