We had a wonderful one night stay at the Jacob Sameul. We arrvied on a red eye flight and were able to store our luggage and have a cup a tea and quick rest before we went out for the morning while we waited for our room. We were able to check in early and that was so helpful as we'd been up for a long time. We really got the sense that the staff understood this and worked to get us in as soon as possible. The room itself was just beautiful and clean. The bathroom glass door and the brass shower head could have used some extra attention and the air conditioning wasn't working when we arrived but it was very quickly fixed but the staff. There is a busy restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel and does detract a bit from a calm hotel lobby, but otherwise, I understand it's a top restuarant in Tel Aviv. The hotel is in a superb location and if you're new to the area, this is a great place to start. We loved our stay, would certainly stay again and have already recommended The Jacob Samuel to a friend who will be traveling to Tel Aviv soon.
