Nova Like Hotel - an Atlas Hotel

Hotel lobby and restaurant is pretty nice and updated. The food during breakfast was really good. We also had underground parking at the hotel, which in Sept. in Eilat is a game changer! We had a pretty big sized room, however the room and bathroom felt a bit dated. It did the job and was what we needed, just not as luxurious and modern as the lobby and restaurant. Front desk was very helpful.

First time at the Nova and we are so impressed! Staying during Hanuka with my 9 year old daughter. The hotel is full but doesn't feel crowded. Rooms are spacious and clean. Little things like great water pressure in shower I wouldn't even expect. The breakfast is tasty with lots of variety, great salads. It's too cold in the pool for us, but the hotel is colorful and has a super warm, family vibe. My daughter loves the game room and activities planned in the lobby. Super nice staff which I have to say is a bit unusual for this town (shout out to Rivka at the front desk!) While it's not right by the sea, it's an easy 10 minute walk which is a good thing considering all the food we're eating. Close to the ice mall that has the ice skating and other fun stuff for kids. Considering the price for this lovely and comfortable hotel, will definitely return with the rest of the fam.

This hotel is an old staple, emphasis on old.

Pros:
Common areas seem clean
Cheap
Food - Good enough breakfast and dinner buffets
Staff seems nice
King sized bed

Cons:
Our room was seriously rundown - carpet had stains and cigarette burns, pillows were horribly lumpy, vents caked with dust, yucky bathroom with mold in the shower and sink

Pool - boring rectangle that looks onto a construction site. We now know that Eilat sand is quite rocky so a nice pool area is a must in the heat!

15 min walk to City Center (no on-site amenities other than crappy pool)

Since it has been around so long, the Nova Like has a following. My father in law explained that many of the workers from the local construction projects come to this hotel with their families. Honestly, I can be very picky with hotels and it drives my husband crazy. This time even he made the call that we leave early! Per my husband - this would work for someone looking for cheap lodging who doesn’t plan to be there much and really doesn’t care what the room is like. To enjoy Eilat, stay in a nice resort and take advantage of no VAT tax

Good location, walking distance from the promenade and shopping centers.
A simple hotel but one that gives full value for money.
The double bed is large and very comfortable.
The hotel is clean and tidy.
Breakfast and dinner are very good and the staff are excellent. Overall we had a great time

Pros: pretty clean. Good size suite. Staff was pretty friendly.
Cons: Exactly the type of place I try to stay away from when vacationing in Israel. An old hotel in dire need of remodeling (chipped tiles, old and uncomfortable showers). Unappealing décor, reminiscent of a government building. Many options for breakfast, yet none were appealing or tasty. The pool plays loud music daily, and looks out into a large construction area, so we didn't use it at all. Location is off center. A bit sad all in all. We spent as little time in the hotel as possible
For the price - which wasn't low! - there are so many better options in Eilat.
