Tel Aviv's Bauhaus Beauty: Your Dream Boutique Apartment Awaits!
Tel Aviv's Bauhaus Beauty: My Honest (and Slightly Unhinged) Take
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans on Tel Aviv's Bauhaus Beauty: Your Dream Boutique Apartment Awaits! And let me tell you, "dream" is a strong word. But hey, let's see if it lives up to the hype, shall we? This ain't your stuffy travel brochure review; this is the real deal, warts and all, straight from someone who almost got lost trying to find the place (more on that later).
First things first: Accessibility. Now, I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I did peek around (nosy, I know!). The reviews, and the listing itself, mention facilities for disabled guests. Honestly? I couldn't find concrete details on the website. So, caveat emptor if you need super specific accessibility. Call ahead, double-check everything. Don't just rely on what you read here!
Internet – Because, Let's Be Real, We’re All Addicted
Okay, so, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Woo-hoo! Now that's music to my digital nomad ears. And yes, it did work, mostly. I mean, there were a few times I swear I was staring at the spinning wheel of death while trying to stream a show, but overall, decent. I'm talking decent enough to upload a gazillion Instagram stories of my breakfast (more on that later, too). They also have Internet [LAN] which I didn’t use, but hey, options are nice, especially if you're a serious internet user.
Cleanliness and Safety: Did They Actually Sanitize, Or Just Say They Did?
Listen, in this post-apocalyptic era of coughs and sneezes, cleanliness is KEY. They boast about Anti-viral cleaning products, Rooms sanitized between stays, and Daily disinfection in common areas. Fine. They should. But did I, a discerning traveler with the paranoia of a hawk, feel it? Honestly? Yeah, I did. The room was spotless. The common areas weren’t sticky. Bonus points.
They also got Hand sanitizer stations everywhere, which is a win. Staff trained in safety protocol, check. Sterilizing equipment, hopefully it’s actually being used! And they offer room sanitization opt-out available, which is awesome!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food (and Maybe a Hangover)
Okay, this is where things get interesting.
Restaurants: They have them. Plural. Which sounds amazing. But like, are they good restaurants? I didn’t eat at the hotel restaurant, so I can't tell you.
Breakfast [buffet]: Oh, sweet lord, the breakfast! This is where I almost lost it. Let’s just say, the Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant, a la carte in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, plus Desserts in restaurant, plus Soup in restaurant, plus Salad in restaurant…I wanted to eat everything. I probably did. It was a glorious, carb-laden, slightly greasy masterpiece. Seriously, I gained five pounds just looking at the buffet. The Buffet in restaurant was on point. I will dream of those pastries.
Snack bar: The snack bar was a lifesaver, especially after a late night.
Poolside bar: Yup. Because, why not? You’re on vacation. So take a drink.
Things to Do (and Ways to Relax) – The Spa! (Oh, the Spa!)
Okay, confession time: I'm a sucker for a spa. The Bauhaus Beauty claims a Spa, Sauna, Steamroom, Massage, Body scrub and Body wrap. I booked myself into the steam room. I was expecting bliss. I got… well, let’s just say it wasn’t exactly the spa equivalent of a fluffy cloud encounter. The steam room was small. And steamy. And a bit… meh. Like, I’ve experienced better, but it was okay.
They have a Gym/fitness, what it’s actually like would need a whole other review. There's also a Pool with view, but I did not find the space to be that special.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference (Or Don't)
- Air conditioning in public area: Yes. Blessedly, yes.
- Concierge: The concierge was super helpful. They helped me find a decent coffee shop (which, FYI, is more important than world peace) and even offered recommendations for sights.
- Daily housekeeping: Yep, the room was always sparkling. I’m easily impressed, what can I say?
- Elevator: Yes. Thank God. My legs were already killing me from all that breakfast!
- Laundry service: I did use this. Quick, easy, and I didn’t have to face the terror of doing laundry myself.
- Luggage storage: Super helpful 'cause I arrived way before check-in.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always a must, let's be real.
For the Kids (And Anyone Who Wants to Feel Like a Kid)
They have Kids facilities, and Babysitting service. I have no kids, so I can't comment on the quality of said facilities or services. But, they seem to have thought of it. Okay, it's nice, but it's not the selling point for me personally.
The Rooms: My Little Bauhaus Bubble
The room itself? Very cute. Non-smoking rooms, which is a plus. They have all the basics: Air conditioning (praise be!), Alarm clock, Bathtub, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Mini bar, Refrigerator… the works. The Bed was comfortable, the vibe was modern and chic – lots of clean lines, which is very "Bauhaus." I was particularly fond of the big Window that opens (fresh air is a gift from the Gods). Slippers (score!). The Sofa was super comfy. The Toiletries were decent.
The Imperfections: (Because Life Isn't Perfect… Especially When You're Jet-Lagged)
Okay, nobody's perfect, and neither is this place.
- Getting Around: Okay, navigating Tel Aviv can be… interesting. Having Car park [on-site], is neat. They have Taxi service, which is a lifesaver. (But you may want to double-check the costs before you get in.)
Overall:
Tel Aviv's Bauhaus Beauty is a solid choice.
Final Verdict: Book It! (But Maybe Double-Check the Spa…)

Unbelievable Bandung Luxury: Hotel Cemerlang Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. We're going to Tel Aviv, baby! And we're doing it from a gorgeous, architecturally bonkers Bauhaus boutique apartment. Prepare for the glorious mess that is ME, in Tel Aviv!
THE (UN)SCHEDULED TEL AVIV THING: A HOT MESS WITH HEART
Day 1: Arrival. Or, "Help, I'm Surrounded by White Walls and Sunshine!"
- 6:00 AM (ish): My alarm shrieks a death metal cover of "Hava Nagila" (seriously, what was I thinking?). Flight. Got to the airport a whole hour early. Feel like I've won the lottery, then remember the security line. Cringe.
- 11:00 AM (give or take a delay or two): Landed in Tel Aviv! The air… it's different. Thicker, somehow. Like breathing melted honey. And the damn sun! Blasting. Blinding. Beautiful. Immigration was a breeze.
- 12:00 PM (ish): Taxi to the Bauhaus Boutique Apartment. The driver, a short, enthusiastic fellow named Avi, blasted some seriously questionable Israeli pop music, which I secretly loved. He kept pointing out architecture: "Bauhaus! Bauhaus!" Like I didn't know!
- 1:00 PM: HOLY. WHITE. WALLS. Seriously. This apartment is a minimalist's wet dream. Modern and chic, no clutter. A little intimidating to be honest! The balcony is the saving grace. Overlooking a bustling street. The smells are… everything. Fried food, diesel fumes, salty air. Perfection.
- 1:30 PM: Unpack. Mostly. The "good" clothes are still in the suitcase. Fine. Jet lag is creeping in. Need… coffee. Stat.
- 2:00 PM: Found a cafe down the street. Took one for the team to the corner and ordered a cappuccino. The barista, a beautiful woman, with fire-red hair and a nose ring, had the most mesmerizing eyes. She could've sold me the moon. I tipped her 30% because I was THAT overwhelmed by everything.
- 3:00 PM: A stroll through the neighborhood. Soaking it all in: the street art, the sounds of Hebrew, the way people just… live here. Found a tiny shop selling handmade jewelry. Bought a silver Star of David pendant, even though I'm not particularly religious. Felt… right.
- 4:00 PM: Naptime. Jet lag is winning. Dreamt I was floating in the Dead Sea… in a giant bowl of hummus. Don't judge.
- 7:00 PM: Woke up ravenous. Went to that place Avi recommended, a little place called "Hummus Eliyahu." The BEST hummus I have EVER tasted. Seriously. Warm pita, creamy hummus, garlicky goodness. I almost cried. And falafel. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. This is why I travel. This is what life is about.
- 9:00 PM: Strolled along the beach. The Mediterranean Sea is a living, breathing entity. Crashing waves, the smell of seaweed, the lights of the city twinkling in the distance. Just… wow. Bought a gelato because, well, it's gelato. And it was good.
- 10:00 PM: Back to the apartment. This white box is growing on me. Started journaling. Grateful. A little overwhelmed. Excited. Sleep… maybe?
Day 2: Beach Bliss, Market Mayhem, and a Near-Disaster with a Bicycle
- 7:00 AM: The sun streams through the window. Actually… the sun is attacking the window. It's a glorious, brutal assault. Wake up feeling refreshed. Maybe the white walls were a good idea. I almost feel like a minimalist now, living in this tiny space.
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast on the balcony. Leftover pita and hummus (yes, again). Coffee. People-watching. Absolute bliss.
- 9:00 AM: Beach day! Hit up the beach. The sand is hot. The water is clear. People are beautiful. I look like a lobster. Realized I forgot sunscreen.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Fell asleep on my towel after applying sunscreen. Woke up to find a swarm of seagulls trying to steal my beach bag. Had a mini-freakout. Successfully fended off the avian pirates. Beach Day Success!
- 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM: Lunch at a beachside cafe. Ordered fish and chips. It was… okay. Maybe the seagulls were onto something.
- 2:00 PM: Decided to try to navigate this city in a bicycle. Found a bike rental shop near the beach. And I was instantly humbled. Tel Aviv traffic is NOT for the faint of heart. Managed to weave in and around cars, buses. It was terrifying… and exhilarating. One near-miss with a truck!
- 3:00 PM: Rode to Carmel Market. Holy chaos. Smells of spices, fresh produce, and grilling meats. People shouting. Bargaining. A sensory overload in the best possible way. Bought a bunch of olives, dates, and a ridiculously cheap pair of sunglasses (which are, of course, now my favorite).
- 4:00 PM: Almost got lost several times. Eventually found my way out of the market. The city is beautiful and complex.
- 5:00 PM: Back at the apartment, spent an hour admiring the sunset. Still haven't properly "cleaned" up yet. The bed is a disaster.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner with the new girl friends I made. We went to a small restaurant and had a great, real conversation. It was the best experience of the trip so far.
- 10:00 PM: Another gelato. Because. Also, because I dropped my first one on the ground earlier.
- 11:00 PM: Passed out.
Day 3: Art, Architecture, and the Eternal Search for Good Coffee (and Maybe a Good Pastry)
- 8:00 AM: Morning. The sunlight is more welcoming. The air more breathable. Breakfast and planning the rest of the day.
- 9:00 AM: Went to the Bauhaus Center. Learned about the history of the whole movement and architectural style.
- 11:00 AM: Strolled around again, taking photos of buildings.
- 12:00 PM: Had a delicious lunch.
- 2:00 PM: Back to the apartment. Trying to clean up the mess. The white walls are staring at me. I am being judged.
- 4:00 PM: Walk around, trying to find a coffee shop. I have a new mission.
- 6:00 PM: Went back to the apartment, tried to finish some work on the balcony.
- 8:00 PM: Dinner, tried a vegan restaurant.
- 9:00 PM: Early night and more writing.
Day 4: Last Day, and the Bittersweet Feeling of Departure
- 8:00 AM: Last breakfast on the balcony. The sun feels different. A little less harsh, a little more… nostalgic? Woke up feeling slightly less lost. Maybe the white walls aren't so bad after all. They've grown on me.
- 9:00 AM: Packing. Trying to squeeze everything back into my suitcase. Failed. There will be clothes left behind. There will be souvenirs. I think I'm okay with that.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Final stroll through the neighborhood. Said goodbye to the coffee shop barista (and maybe lingered a little too long). Bought one last ridiculously overpriced pastry. Worth it.
- 12:00 PM: Checked out of the Bauhaus. Said goodbye to the white walls. Felt a little… sad.
- 1:00 PM: Taxi to the airport. Avi, the overly enthusiastic driver, again! This time, blasting some even more questionable music. It felt normal.
- 3:00 PM: Flight. Looking out the window, watching Tel Aviv shrink below. My mind is swirling with memories and emotions. This trip has been a hot, glorious mess. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
- 11:00 PM (back home): Jet lag. Unpacked the suitcase (finally!), I feel like I've left a small part of myself there.
**P.
Escape to Paradise: Araliya Green City, Nuwara Eliya Awaits!
Ugh, What Even IS This Thing? (The Very Beginning Ramblings)
Honestly? That's a darn good question. When I started, I thought this was going to be some clean, organized, bullet-pointed list about... things. The "things" haven't fully solidified. Now? It's more of the raw, messy, unedited thoughts that happen when I try to explain things. It’s less a polished guide and more like... a brain dump. Forgive the format breaking here and there. I'm trying.
Alright, Fine, BUT WHAT should I put here??? (Content Confusion)
Here's the deal. You're *probably* asking those questions that people actually Google. Like, "How to do X?" or "Why is Y like Z?" But the REAL magic? Those questions are already out there. The *important* thing is to make it your own. Your voice. Your mistakes. Your *weird* opinions. I started with the basics and it just... grew. (Like a weed. A very opinionated, rambling weed.)
But...How do I START?! (The Dreaded Blank Page)
Okay, deep breaths. The blank page. It's a monster. I get it. I stared at one for, like, an hour yesterday. And then, I scrolled through endless internet searches before finding a decent starting point. The real trick is to NOT OVERTHINK IT. Just... vomit your thoughts onto the page. No editing. Just write what comes to mind. Then, you can *try* to make it coherent. Maybe. (I say "try" a lot, FYI.)
What's the best way to structure this? (The Organizing Nightmare)
Oh, structure. The holy grail of writing. Apparently, people like things that make sense. I *tried* to do that with these FAQs, but honestly, my brain works in chaotic bursts. First, I thought, "Okay, QUESTIONS. ANSWERS. Easy." Then I added these "rambling bits". And some "opinions". Let's call it... organic flow? Honestly, just keep it simple. Question, Answer, done. (And pray that Google likes it. It's a fickle beast.)
Is there a "magic bullet"? (The Elusive Shortcut)
Nope. Absolutely, positively, without a single doubt, no. There is NO magic bullet. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something. The "magic" is in the doing. The writing. The revising. The despair of realizing your grammar is terrible. The utter *joy* of finally getting that one sentence *just right*. It's all part of the agonizing beauty of it all. (See? Opinions. And "agonizing beauty". This is how it works.)
How do I deal with negative feedback? (The Brutal Truth)
Ugh. Negative feedback. It *sucks*. I got my first real dose of it the other day. Someone told me my writing was "incoherent and rambling." (Ouch!) My first reaction? Existential dread of who I am. Then, I took a walk and ate a donut. Then I looked at their *own* writing, which, honestly, wasn't that great. See, sometimes, it's *them*, not you. But sometimes? It's you. Learn from it. Don't let it crush you. (Easier said than done, I know.)
What if I get stuck mid-writing? (The Writer's Block Boogie)
Oh, the dreaded writer's block. It's a *beast*. I've tried everything: staring out the window, pacing, drinking copious amounts of coffee, listening to motivational speeches (which usually backfire), and, on one occasion, banging my head gently against my keyboard. My advice? Step away. Go for a walk, do the dishes, talk to a friend. The answer *always* seems to come when your brain is NOT focused on the problem. It's infuriating, but true.
How do I make it sound "authentic" and "human"? (The Fake it 'Til You Make It Dilemma)
Just... be yourself. Seriously. Don't try to be someone else. Don't try to sound smarter than you are (unless you *are* smarter than you are, in which case, flaunt it, baby!). Use your own voice. Your own quirks. The things that make you *you*. And, for crying out loud, don't be afraid to admit you don't know everything. Embrace the imperfections. (Like the messy structure of these FAQs, for example.)
Can I actually be funny in my FAQs? (The Comedy Conundrum)
Absolutely! But... be careful. Humor is subjective. What one person finds hilarious, another might find... offensive. (My mother-in-law, for example, is not a fan of my dark jokes.) So, play with it. Test the waters. If you can make yourself laugh while writing, that's a good start. Just don't go full-on stand-up comedian unless you're actually a stand-up comedian. (I'm not. Clearly.)
Okay, but like... *when* do I stop? (The Never-Ending Project)
Ah, the eternal question. When do you stop adding to it? When does it become "done"? My answer? Never. (Kidding... mostly.) FAQ pages are *living* documents. They evolve. They change. You add to them as you learn more. You update them as things change. It's a constant work in progress. Embrace the unfinished-ness. It means you're still learning! (And probably still procrastinating on other projects, like, well, most things. Okay, I've said enough.)
