Reviews of The Norman Tel Aviv

I rarely write reviews, but I’m compelled to share our thoughts on the Norman with potential guests debating a stay. The unequivocal answer is YES. I’ll begin by saying that we’ve stayed at the Kempinski on our last few trips (and even for a few nights on this trip). The Kempinski is nice and new— and on the beach— which has always been important to us. However, after staying at the Norman in a Loft room this past week, it’s undoubtedly our new go to. The beach isn’t so far after all, and we didn’t want to eat the food in the Kempinski’s Horizon lounge anyway! The vibe, service, food, location and rooftop pool at the Norman especially stood out for us. This isn’t a large, convention hotel catering to the masses. The Norman is a wonderful boutique with personalized service, intentional follow-up and delicious food (both Alena and Dinings). It felt like our own oasis in the middle of a local Tel Aviv neighborhood— with the meals we’d search for even if we weren’t hotel guests. We loved the small balcony off our room to sip wine or coffee and watch the city moving. From before we arrived until we departed, we were also impressed with the Norman’s digital communication space (I would say messages were monitored in close to real time). In full transparency there were two minor things we mentioned to the front desk on departure- 1) the room was extremely dark, even with the dimmer on full power, 2) room felt humid and had a faint mildew odor despite the dry climate. Thank you again for a terrific stay. We can’t wait to return to Tel Aviv just to stay at the Norman!!

Always talking honestly is the key to win peoples not just heart, but attention as well, cause without honesty and sharing experience, we will never be able to write truthy about how lifestyle to the world about what we acutely deal with, and others reaction. Sometimes the hottest day of the week is not Friday or Saturday, but for some reason its Thursday, and nothing more important to feel good and look good, and take your self out to a great dinner, to enjoy not just the food, but the vibe that you always belong to. Extremely hungry for the food and experience comes with it form such a restaurant at the Norman hotel. Walking through the lobby, welcomed by the hostess, and been seated to start ordering food, drinks, so on. Few things bothered me, this whole dinning in hotel specially its a good restaurant, comes with the experience while you wait for waiter, ordering food, bringing the food and checking out. I didn't get some water as the other tables got, not sure if its selected thing, after ordering appetizer, still no coming back if I needed something. Appetizer came, was good, ordered main, and was steak I guess was the special cut. This is when it get a bit interesting. The steak took forever to arrive, don't know why, even I was checking other tables, they got they mains, and some tables who arrive after me, they got their main before I did, and I was before them. Not enough the main came after a very long time, as I told them I'm very very hungry, the steak came really cold, and for a steak to come cold is a very big no no, specially from a hotel such a name and a restaurant belong to the find dinning. When I start eating as I'm really hungry, the waiter came and told him its cold, and by the time the manager came, it was even colder, and even for them to offer to get it back, it will be frozen and I'm extremely hungry. I was managed by Noa as she was the restaurant manager, I told her what happen as I don't think my night is getting any better. As I think she felt bad for me and offer me coffee. But I was really hungry for not just great food as I expected and wanted, that's why I came to the Norman, but everything was really bad, I think the table who came after me and got their burger before me, enjoy it more, than my expensive table order that I had, as much as its funny but its true. I ordered desert as I think its always the best to eat when you hungry, and it was really good as I have to give it the credit. The cheesecake I ordered was better than the steak and the appetizer and the bad experience put all together. Noa was trying to make my night from mislabel to something as ok, she was really sweet and I very like her as she was trying, but deep inside, you say, this is Norma hotel and the restaurant and hotel should know better, and this should be a no to happen. Sharing such experiences with my 55000 readers and still growing, is something I love explaining that, sometimes, big names do not mean to be wow amazing

The norman is the most beautiful hotel in Israel. Staying there is a spectacular indulgence. And you will fall in love with the people even more than the hotel itself. Andrea is phenomenal and her front desk staff are the best in the business. Harry is the best resource in all of Tel Aviv. Imri, Shai, May, Karin, and the other restaurant/food & beverage personnel are spectacular. Din, Gal, and the library bar staff are the icing on the cake. And the people you might not see like Yaron, Steph, and Nathan, are as wonderful as everyone who takes care of you every day. If you can afford to splurge, don’t miss the chance!

I stayed at the Norman on a business trip and loved my experience. To start, the lobby smells amazing and is really one of the most beautiful hotel lobbies I've seen. The room was lovely, and service was great. Breakfast was held at the hotel restaurant and was included in the room rate. The food was super fresh and delish. I'd love to come back to enjoy the pool and spa.

We went to The Norman for a short staycation. Me and my partner booked a Loft Suite and it was stunning - a beautifully designed space with a thoughtful layout and a charming balcony overlooking Melchett Street. I want to mention the great pieces of israeli artists that are on display throughout the whole hotels facilities, we loved it. There is nothing more to say. The service was on the highest standard and the food and drinks at Alena and the Library Bar were delicious. Thank you so much Norman team.

I spent the weekend at this beautiful hotel in the heart of Tel Aviv, and honestly, it really lives up to its hype. The vibe is super elegant but still feels cozy, and everything from the room to the spa was just spot-on. What really made it special, though, was the service. Everyone was so genuinely kind and attentive, definitely left a taste for more and cannot wait to come back!!

We had a fantastic stay at The Norman. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and the attention to detail throughout the hotel really stood out. The rooftop pool was a highlight — perfect for a quiet break after exploring the city. Staff were kind and professional, and the breakfast was excellent. Would definitely come back.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Nomad Hotel in March, and it was truly an amazing experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed by the outstanding staff, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a perfect stay. Our room was simply flawless—beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. It provided everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The breakfast was another highlight—absolutely incredible, with a great variety of delicious options to start the day right. The overall atmosphere of the hotel was fantastic, making our time in Tel Aviv even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay, and we will definitely return on our next visit. Highly recommended!

My stay at this hotel in Tel Aviv was absolutely fantastic. The hospitality was exceptional, and every detail was taken care of perfectly. From the comfortable rooms to the outstanding service, nothing fell short of expectations. Highly recommended!

We stayed for two nights in a standard room. The stuff were very kind and helped us with lots of recommendations. The food was great! The furniture and the design details are stunning and the service is just another level for Israeli standards.

Best hospitality experience in Tel Aviv. Great atmosphere, carefully designed, and the most helpful staff. Restaurant Alena is a culinary haven for foodlovers. I can highly recommend The Norman we had an exceptional stay. Only thing to mention is the size of the gym.

Our pre-wedding party of 20 felt very comfortable in the private dining room. The food and wine was superb. Compliments to the chef. The service was friendly, gracious and super professional. Ashley our server read my mind whenever I felt like a refill. What a great place! All the glowing reviews are well deserved.

A truly excellent hotel. From the first welcome until I left, the staff, service and facilities were stunning. Rooms are exceptional - clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and attentive. Superb massage on my final day left me feeling relaxed and ready to return to the UK. Thoroughly recommend a stay here.

This hotel lives up to its reputation. It is a truly great hotel with exemplary service. It appears to be primarily a business hotel with many meetings taking place daily. It has a reputation as one is the premier hotels in Tel Aviv. For those who complained about its location, granted it’s a bit off the beaten trail but a 15 minute walk from most attractions. I will admit that the price makes it unaffordable for many people but the treatment we received was commensurate with the price.
