City Suites

The location was amazing. Easy to get it all the attractions in a short drive. Great parking and a short walk to a market Aba ice cream shop.

The air conditioner in the living room was having go some issues (started dripping on the last night) but worked. The living room TV was not opening to Netflix.

We stumbled onto City Suites after the usual hotel options in Eilat were either fully booked or overpriced for what they offered. So glad we did. The first thing that struck me was how quiet the area is. It's tucked away on Neviot Street, feels residential and peaceful, but you're still only a 10-minute walk from the beach and Mall Hayam. Best of both worlds - escape the tourist chaos but don't miss any of the action. The apartment itself was spacious and thoughtfully designed. The balcony is massive - we had morning coffee there every day watching the city wake up. Sea views in the distance, nice breeze. Felt more like staying at a friend's vacation home than a rental. Kitchen had everything we needed - microwave, fridge, kettle, stovetop. We made breakfast most mornings and saved the eating out for dinners. The AC units (multiple!) kept the place perfectly cool even during peak afternoon heat. Check-in was simple - got our code ahead of time, walked right in. No reception desk drama, no waiting around. The building felt secure and well-maintained. One thing I appreciated: genuinely non-smoking rooms. I'm sensitive to it and I've been burned before by places that claim to be smoke-free but clearly aren't. This was legitimately fresh and clean. Parking on the street was easy - always found a spot nearby for free. We used the BBQ area one evening which was a nice touch. Grabbed some meat from the supermarket, had a proper Israeli mangal experience.

Finally found our Eilat spot Fourth time visiting Eilat, first time staying at City Suites. Wish we'd found it sooner. We're a family of 4 (kids are 8 and 12) and honestly we're done with hotels. The kids need space to run around, we need a kitchen so we're not eating out every single meal, and we need some peace and quiet after beach days. This place checked all the boxes. The apartment felt like an actual home. Big living area where the kids could spread out with their tablets while my wife and I sat on the balcony with wine. Speaking of the balcony - it's huge. Like, put-a-table-and-four-chairs huge. We ate dinner out there most nights. Practical stuff that mattered to us: Kitchen actually works. Made eggs and coffee every morning, sandwiches for beach days AC is strong (crucial with kids who complain about everything) Hot water was consistent WiFi worked fine for the kids' endless YouTube Parking right outside, free, never had issues Location is a bit set back from the main tourist strip which we actually preferred. Quiet at night, kids slept well. But still walkable to everything - beach, mall, restaurants. We drove to Dolphin Reef and the Underwater Observatory, easy 10 minutes. Only heads up: it's not a hotel, so no daily housekeeping or room service. We didn't care - grabbed extra towels at the start and we were fine. If you need someone making your bed every day this isn't for you. The guy who manages the place was responsive when we had a question about the TV remote (took us a minute to figure out the satellite). Definitely booking here again next summer. The kids are already asking when we're going back.

A lot of noise above my room during the day. No water when I came back to yhe room for a few hours. Bad smell from the bathroom and the stairs.
