Madrid Apartment – By Harim

First Impressions

Madrid Apartment – By Harim caught me off guard — honestly, the name made me expect something completely different. Located on Almogim Street in Eilat, this three-star property feels more like staying at a friend’s well-kept place than a typical hotel. The building itself is modest, but you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to experience a city like a local rather than a tourist.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where things get interesting — you’re not getting a standard hotel room here. Each apartment comes with its own kitchen, which honestly saved me a fortune during my stay. I mean, Eilat can be pricey for dining out every meal, and having the option to grab groceries from the nearby Rami Levy and cook breakfast felt refreshing. The kitchenette isn’t huge, but it’s got everything you actually need — proper burner, decent-sized fridge, and enough counter space to prep meals without feeling cramped.

Location & Getting Around

Almogim Street puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to the beach (maybe 10-12 minutes), but far enough from the main tourist strip that you’re not dealing with crowds right outside your window. The coral beach area is actually closer than the main hotel strip, which I discovered by accident and turned out to be one of my favorite finds. There’s parking available, though spaces can get tight during peak season — I’d suggest arriving earlier in the day if you’re driving.

What Works Well

The air conditioning works like a dream — crucial when you’re dealing with Eilat’s heat. I appreciated that the apartments feel properly lived-in rather than sterile, with comfortable furniture that doesn’t look like it came from a hotel catalog. The Wi-Fi was solid throughout my stay, which mattered since I was doing some remote work between beach sessions. Plus, the staff genuinely seems to care about making sure everything’s working properly rather than just going through the motions.

Why Guests Love It

Look, this isn’t a place with a fancy lobby or a restaurant downstairs, but that 8.8 rating makes sense once you settle in. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually relax without feeling like you need to be “on” all the time. The value proposition is solid — you’re getting space, independence, and a real sense of staying somewhere rather than just passing through. For travelers who want to experience Eilat without the resort hotel atmosphere, Madrid Apartment delivers exactly what it promises.

Eilat’s apartments welcome families with play lounges, dive gear storage, and balcony grills for fresh catch dinners.
