Looking for a cheap hostel in Eilat?

Welcome to hostel The Shelter centrally located in Eilat where you can enjoy low-cost accommodation in friendly and peaceful surroundings with an international atmosphere.

Having opened our doors in 1984 as a small, family run hostel, we have loads of experience meeting our guests’ needs. In the Shelter, each guest feels like they’ve found a home away from home.
