Back to Inter-Continental David Tel Aviv Expensive, Terrible Customer Service We would never stay here again. We found the David Intercontinental's amentities average and in some cases below, (roaches on the drink dispensers in the buffet area) and above all, the employees were unfriendly, lazy and rude. The lobby has a nice, open and opulent feel but the steep entry ramp made it difficult for walking into and out of the hotel. It is definitely designed for vehicular access. We stayed at the David for 10 days only because we were told that the cancellation terms required a one week notice and to move would have cost us dearly. Upon our trip to Israel we stayed at the Istrotel, which we loved and wished we have never booked the David but wanted to be near our friends. We recommend that if you are visiting Israel, limit your time in Tel Aviv; the other cities are much nicer, cleaner, friendlier and historical. We look forward to revisiting Jerusalem.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Apr 19 2008 Dirtiest room ever!! The location isn't everything for the price to be high. I stayed there for a month.. and the room they gave me had one of the dirtiest carpets I have ever seen (dirtier than the cheap motels in US). The carpet smelled bad too. Other things were ok. The hotel advertises free parking but they charge you $10 per day for parking and another $20 per day for internet. Overall, a hampton inn in US for half the price as this hotel is much better than this one.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Oct 03 2007 Tired annd Shabby I don't know where most of the other reviewers were staying but it definitely was not in the same hotel as me and several of my friends. The rooms (with the exception of those on the 23rd,24th, and 25th floors) are in a shabby and worn state -- from the dirty carpets in the hallways, bathtubs that need to be replaced (mine had a peculiarly nasty burn mark), and furniture that had seen better days. Much closer to a Holiday Inn than a supposedly 5 star establishment.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Sep 23 2007 Incredible Experience Our stay at the David Intercontinental in June 2007 was superb. The lobby and the whole main floor was beautifully appointed. Friendly service, nice lounge and restaurant area - and the view out the windows to the sea was spectacular.
Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jun 18 2007 I wish it were warm when I was there... The I could have gone to the beautiful beach across the street! This place is great. I was at the David in November 2006 on business. Breakfast was excelent, including Western style fare. The rooms were ample, and surprisingly enough, even on the higher flors, the windows ope right up. Don't be surprised if you see a windows washer glide by unexpectedly: The rappel across the building on just a rope! Can't wait to go back.

Reviewed by: A Yahoo! Contributor from on Jul 12 2006 overbooked The hotel was overbooked upon my arrival and my room was not availible. Over a 3 hr. period I was given 5 different excuses why my room was not availible. Eventually after going through the manager I was given a free upgraded to a very nice room. They stalled me and kept me in limbo for 3 hrs before giving in. After 12 hrs on a flight all I wanted was a bed.
