First Impressions

Tucked away on Shoham Street, shohamseaview is one of those places that catches you off guard — in the best way possible. From the outside, it looks like just another apartment building in Eilat, but honestly, that’s part of its charm. This four-star property has managed something pretty special: it feels like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place rather than a typical hotel, and with a 9.5 rating, I’m clearly not the only one who thinks so.

The Space Itself

What you’re getting here is essentially an apartment setup, which makes all the difference when you’re planning to stay more than a night or two. The room comes with a proper kitchenette — and I mean proper, not one of those sad mini-fridge situations you usually find. You can actually cook a decent meal if you want to skip the tourist traps for a night. The sea views (hence the name) are legitimate too, especially if you snag one of the upper floors.

Location Perks

Here’s what I really appreciate about the location — you’re close enough to Eilat’s main strip that you can walk to the beach and all the action, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the chaos when you want to relax. The neighborhood has this residential feel that most tourists never experience, with little local spots nearby where you can grab groceries or just observe regular Israeli life happening around you. Parking isn’t the nightmare it can be in other parts of town either.

What Sets It Apart

The attention to detail here is what really got me. Someone clearly thought about what travelers actually need — decent Wi-Fi that works throughout the space, blackout curtains that actually block the desert sun, and a shower with proper water pressure. The air conditioning runs quietly, which might sound trivial until you’re trying to sleep in Eilat’s heat. It’s these small things that separate a good stay from a frustrating one, you know?

Why Guests Love It

After spending time here, I get why this place consistently pulls such high ratings. It’s not trying to be flashy or impress you with marble lobbies — instead, it just works really well for what most people actually want from accommodation in Eilat. You get space to spread out, a kitchen to save money on meals, views to remind you why you came to the Red Sea, and a quiet spot to recharge between adventures. Sometimes that practical approach beats all the fancy amenities in the world.
